I'm happy to say I did get all the trim painted and the floor is all stained!
Bruce and our neighbor moved the lockers into the studio for me. I cleaned them up then Bruce reattached the side that was loose. The patina on these are great!
One side has turquoise paint under the red
And the other side has yellow
This one needed a new top so Bruce cut one out of a scrap of plywood. I still need to sand it. The chippy paint is perfection!
I'll be moving this shelf unit and this small drafting table from the city house. (Sorry about the bad pictures - they are from 4 years ago). They will be getting a makeover!
After reading this post, I had a great idea for using one of my crib pieces.
Can't wait to see if it will actually work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Then I actually came up with a brilliant idea for the other 2 rails! Even Bruce was impressed! I'll share more of that at a later date.
It's so fun to finally be at this stage. Soon I'll be blissfully painting and creating in my beautiful, light-filled studio!
I can't wait to see it all come together. It has been a labor of love for you and hubby and it will be great to see all those ideas finally realized. Have fun!! xo Diana

That green patina is so chippy perfect! It would be so wonderful to have a room to myself in which to create anything I wanted. I'll be following along with you and cheering your progress.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I painted my first piece of furniture in there today! So nice I didn't have to worry about paint on the floor or moving things, etc. Whoopie! This is going to be great!
