This could have been a sweet picture of mammoth at night, but there was a snowcat right in the middle of the frame.... BUT if you look closely you can see the wind-blown snow flying off the the peak, some chairlifts, another snowcat and some stars!
Anyway... that was last week. This weekend Marco and I checked out some craigslist listings of some furniture that looked kind of cool. From far (like this pic) it looks half decent, but up close this was a gold trimmed off-mint-green desk. We ended up getting 2 dressers, a mirror, a nightstand and this little desk. They all have potential, but definitely need some work!!! SO we got to work!
First off, we sanded down all the surfaces in order to repaint.
voila.
I chose GERANIUM RED! I thought it would be cool to add a splash to whatever room this ends up in!
We then went for a sweet bike ride where I found the BIGGEST pinecones of my life! Sugar pine pinecones!
And finally, after riding, physio and working out, I finished painting last night!
And lining the drawers! Ikea style! ha.
That was the first, and easiest piece we have. Its fun to make something look completely different than when you got it. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more furniture remodelling!! And pillow and t-shirt making!!! I'm on a roll!
The colour is the same as your top or so it seems. Great paint job. Have some stuff at home if you want to practice some more.
