But it's a necessary evil in the antiquing biz....
Not that these goodies are antiques
but I wanted to give them a fresh look!
but I wanted to give them a fresh look!
I try to make them more versatile...
Simple cream satin paint....very lightly distressed.
Now hopefully this will work in more homes than it would have previously.
My amaryllis is just about touching the ceiling!!! What's up with that?
I put the final coat on the table....soft cream satin paint ~
A simple chalkboard on a cabinet door ~
There's something so wonderful about
seeing others create from your instructions ~

I am so into creamy white paint...my hubby laughs when he sees me looking intently at something...he knows I am thinking of painting it!

That looks beautiful Dawn!:-)
Stopping by to wish you a nice easter:-)
Love the shoe in the corner, hi hi!
New header ..? (sooo nice!)
Hugs , Hege.
Minna Marika's Nest Baby IS adorable!
Dawn - I am surprised that you don't like to paint. But I know you love the results. I only like to paint if the surface is big and flat and smooth and does not need prep. Guess I don't like to paint either.
Dawn , always such lovely results -- HAve a Happy nad Blessed EAster
Kathy - ga ♥
You did a great job..... I hate painting too, but it sure makes a difference, Great that your Antique Booth is doing so well... Next time I am in Georgia, I want to venture out Your Way..... so keep track of all the little out of the way places where we can Treasure Hunt~

Vicki
you do just beautiful work, like magic. and then you share it with us. what a wonderful place blogland is. happy happy easter!
Hey girl,
Isn't it funny how a little cream colored paint can elevate the simpliest piece of anything to a treasure!? We need to talk about that tole lamp I see in the reflection of the mirror! Is that the guest bedroom, you know the one for me to stay in? You've been a busy girl. I was reading Art Quilts today on the road & couldn't stop looking at your beautiful work in this issue. Your images printed on the muslin are so crisp & clear, you'll have to share your secrets with me. Oh, I'm starting to comment like Rose. No, I only have 100 words. LOL Have a blessed Easter my friend. Lisa
PS Did you read my email yet?
Hi Dawn, I'm with you, I hate painting too, but things look so much better! Your mirror and table are lovely in that creamy white.
I discovered your pretty box redux in Somerset Life today. I love it. I am trying to repurpose lots of trash and that is a sweet idea to line the box too.
Happy Easter!
Sherry
THAT should work for most people...there are very few things in our home that are not white or off white.
I bet that is so with a lot of us.
Your Tuts must be very clear to follow...she did a great job, with that one.
Rose
Hi Dawn,
Happy Easter to you and your
family.
I haven't been by in a little
while and absolutely love your
new header. It is so sweet
and charming.
I agree, too, about painting
but projects look so nice once
they are completed.
Hope you are having a nice day.
Becky
As always everything is so lovely, the table would look really good in my house! So much love in every post. I am looking forward to getting back doing some fun things.
I am doing fine now, but my house is in real trouble!!!!
Love you Dear Dawn! Mary
