I finished a few projects yesterday after work and I'm super excited about the ones I have on my plate today!
Remember my old chair I was painting pink? Well I finally got a chance to finish it. It was a nasty little thing when we brought it home covered in spider webs, spider carcasses and dirt. After a good bath, sanding some cotton candy pink paint, she looked much better! I ripped off TWO layers of nasty fabric to get to the little cushion and recovered it in white and black damask. It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself. :)
Remember that UGLY green lamp you saw in the background of my ugly chair post? Well, it also got a good cleaning and a coat of new paint, this time in Raspberry. We popped a beautiful shade on it we picked up at Target on clearance and we got a fantastic looking lamp for my sister's room!
Today I have a desk (freecycle), a rough looking table (trash) and the ugly wooden accessories from the bathroom. There are four. A towel rack, a toilet paper holder, a toothbrush/cup holder, and last but surely not least a wall unit that goes behind the toilet, it doesn't reach the floor looks similar to a bookshelf or something with drawers and stuff.
I'm going to do something interesting with that table and desk, I think I'm going to do them in yellow and gray to put in the living room downstairs.
As for the bathroom items (the toilet paper holder, towel rack and toothbrush thing) I'm spray painting raspberry as well. They are the ugly wooden kind trimmed out in brass. I can't afford to change those out right now so a good coat of paint will do them wonders until I purchase something new.
As for the shelf thing? I'm painting it pink and redoing it and putting it in my office/craft room so that I can use it to store craft items. I'm thinking of spray painting various medicine bottles with different colored spray paints and putting little labels on them for my Diaper Cake Business. Something similar to ~Clothes Pins - Blue~. I think that would be cute AND easy for me to locate if I was needed that particular item.
I will have pictures in a few hours!
