She painted a pair of super old candle sticks (is that what these are even called?) with some beautiful shiny acrylic paint and made them look brand new! So when I saw these oldies, I thought I would be a copy cat (because we know I'm not creative in the least).
You can see in the second picture that they are in pretty rough shape. We can call it character?
I wanted to spray these guys the usual glossy white just because I think it is oh so pretty, but two trips to Michael's later I still couldn't find it. So I branched out and purchased Liquitex Professional in Neutral Grey. (I always thought the color was spelled gray?) Anywho, I do like the way they turned out - I really do. But who's to say I wouldn't spray over them with some glossy white if I happen to stumble upon it again....
This project is definitely a work in progress. For starters, I can't decide where to put them. So for now they are sitting on my over-crowded dresser (that desperately needs to be re-finished - need to get on that for reals).
I purchased one other item from the thrift store, which I was going to paint this evening when I got home from work. But considering we are under severe storm advisory until 10pm, it will have to wait. More to come!
I will end with this adorable sequence of pictures of (who else?) Tiny pondering by the window (and fleeing when she caught me with the camera).
I wish I were as good at yoga as she is!
