28 Sep Vintage Charmer China Cabinet
The hardest part was deciding on which color to paint it.
I didn’t like the red on this one, so I wiped it off, but should I do the Destin or the custom Green recipe that was left over from the CeCe Caldwell’s Sample Pot Display that I painted last week? Hmm, decisions, decisions…
The custom color was inspired by this hydrandga wreath
I left the top in it’s original chippy state, just giving it a really good cleaning and reconditioning to accentuate it’s character. I hate making something old look brand new, I like to transform things and give them new life, but it’s important to me to me that you don’t loose the charm in the remake.
We just dropped her off to our Shizzle Design booth at Not So Shabby in charming downtown Zeeland Michigan.

Posted at 10:21h, 27 MayOh my gosh…the layering and depth of colors. My family are rolling their eyes at me as I look at your pictures. They seem to be saying “Mom, you’re nuts to be this excited about paint”!!! Yep, probably, but I’ll take that kind of nuts any day!!! You’re truly an inspiration to me. I’ve decided that I need to paint an end table that I’ve been mulling over a combination of California Gold, Mississippi Mud, and Johnston Daffodil. Here’s hoping I can get the depth figured out as pretty as you have it!!!
