It's time...past time...
...to get in a little project. This vintage stool was upcycled
previously - but not by me. When I found it - it was
sponge painted (of sorts). I wasn't loving it... but it sat for years?
a long time till I got to it. This week - I pulled out some
mint green paint I had mixed and went to town...
It seemed the top needed something and I had a certain style paper
in mind (which I didn't have). But then I spied this tissue paper
that I picked up while thrifting recently - for 5 or 10 cents a piece.
And that's the secret - pick up things you like when you see them
and the price is very right. You'll be SO glad you did...
A little distressing - some brown glaze and several coats of poly
later - and she's all finished in her shabby cottage goodness.
She's in the shop if you'd like to own her!
Love, love completing a project.
Hopefully I've inspired myself for the others I have started!
