I actually got on my Slalom and acted like I was 20 yrs old again!!!!
I HAD A BLAST...but I AM PAYING FOR IT NOW!!! SMILES!!!
I did manage to get my items to the booth and I have pictures for the update on all the things I transformed...
This is the first of many...this lamp was a freebie it was very beige...and BORING!!! I painted a Krylon Watermelon and I painted the shade white...then I made a stencil and used the Watermelon to stencil the Flour De Les around the shade...
I think it turned out COOL!!! It totally looks different!!
This Monkey Lamp was in really good shape, My friend takes very good care of all her accessories..SMILES!!
However, it was a little dated with the colors...so I got out the PAINT and got started!!
I used a Krylon Black Satin on the whole lamp and then Martha Stewart Metallic Glaze to highlight all the wonderful details this Beauty had to offer!!
I kept the same lamp shade...BECAUSE IT MATCHES PERFECT!!!! THANKS DONNA!!!
This book holder was one that I made reference to in my last post...here is the updated version...different color, some glazing and then some distressing...and you have a new book shelf...
I like the lighter version much more!!! I will have to find the before picture...I am getting too many pictures on too many different cards...I cannot keep up with them all....WINK...WINK!!!
You have a Very Colorful Addition for Your Yard!!!
And Finally My Wine Bottle Holder...
I found this piece of driftwood down on the coast after IKE...it has been in the barn for a while...and finally I got it out and started sanding...the more I sanded, the more Beautiful the wood became...
After all the sanding I coated with Poly Acrylic and cut some holes for the bottles to hang...
and now it is A PIECE OF FUNCTIONAL ART!!!
I loved it..and I think it has already SOLD!! This gentleman took a real liking to it my last visit to the booth...I shared the history of the piece and that made him more interested...SMILES...
Well that is about it for now... I have lots more and will have more updates soon...I am having problems with my internet at home...so I have a short time at work to catch up...
I hope you all enjoy and REMEMBER, I LOVE COMMENTS!!!
Until later,
Charlene
