Hi everyone,
Hope your having a good week so far, We only have 1 week left of the summer holidays and everyone is getting excited about School and Kindergarten starting next week (and by everyone I mean Everyone...... ok, me... mostly!)
Im working on so many little crafts that seem to be taking ages so I decided that I needed to get onto my long overdue bedside table project. I've had this table for years and years.... not so cute, right?
In one afternoon during Maclayne's nap time, I primed (dries in 15 minutes and is paint ready in 45) and painted 2 coats of Dulux Colours of New Zealand - Musick Point (blue).
I hear you gasp... but not White? Nope - my bedroom will be getting its makeover at some stage soon and my furniture is dark brown, so I am going with blue, white and brown as my colour scheme.
I added a new drawer pull and 2 coats of satin varnish later in the evening and here is the result....
What a difference with a brown basket added for extra storage....
I had all the materials on hand so literally this cost me a big fat $0.... Gotta love that....
Take care and I hope you were inspired to add that little pop of colour to a room today...

Thanks Sharon xx Nat
DeleteWHO say's girls furniture HAS to be white pink or yellow? Blue is cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the box basket storage ideas too.... have some woven light-sh coloured ones in my pantry as it's white inside, ( bad for showing up oil stains), and our kitchen is cream, black. So i wanted to stick with accents to suit....works well in our home, since we have a lockwood!
Love it Natalie....Emxx
