I have decided I needed to throw in a project for this week. I have so much spinning in my mind. I am so excited to share and reach out to all you new bloggers. I hope so far you are enjoying and learning. Lots more to come TRUST me, you don't want to miss.
For years now I have had roosters in my kitchen, even in our South Florida home, where everyone else was doing palm trees and shells.
I do from time to time remove them, add something else, and then they make their way back. I suppose I just like them! As many of us do out here in blog land.
I gave you a sneak peek of something last week...remember?
Did you guess yet?
Sometimes the simplest thing can be an inspiration, without even realizing it.
As these once black stools, then painted raspberry red, sat in my garage.
That trip to HOBBY LOBBY had done my brain some good.
Again, husband scared, not knowing, what will I do next....he waited patiently for the end result.
Much to his surprise, I guess, I came up with something pretty good! Mike does know I am creative, and I can come up with some good stuff...he also worries first what it will cost him and second, what I am cluttering up.
Now if you noticed how I taped these chairs off, I did the entire chair as though each square would be painted....however, I skipped some in between, made it random, and not so busy..COUGH!
I am pretty tickled with the end result.
I have painted and been creative in the past with many furniture pieces while living in Florida. This is the first time since living here in the Carolina's that I have done furniture with a twist. I adore painted furniture of any kind, with art work on it. I forgot how much I love to do it myself, and will be continuing on this path. One problem though, I have to buy the furniture.
I may sand these chairs some more to give a real rustic look. For now, I am liking them shiny and new.
