More Pink and Gold….

You know me and the gold…lol  it’s an addiction.  Lucky for me it’s not quite as dangerous and my craigslist or cleaning addiction.  They both run me ragged and exhaust my funds. 

I was in Lauren’s rom the other day an noticed her little blue basket had been written on, wonder who could have done that?  So I painted it. 

I have a before picture but you aren’t going to believe this, my extended hard drive is BROKEN again!  Yep, good old Stanley knocked it off the counter.  It’s not as stressful the second time around.  Especially now that I know the Geek Squad can fix it.  If then can’t I at least have my other old one, and won’t lose everything.  Is this positive thinking or what, I’m not even crying in my ice cream

So here’s the after, sorry about the no before.

Back in place on her desk, it’s kind of a catch all for lip gloss, jewelry and other misc. girly stuff.

I have another fun project to share soon too, as soon as I fix it!  Oops.  Don’t you hate it when you are almost done with a project and then you mess it up?  Yep, me too!

Proof

Shabby Creations Give Away!!!  

  I knew if I just told you I painted something, you would be like, Proof!  I don't blame you really, I've been not to pretty good about doing anything lately. 

Here's the Proof.

It needs a second coat and then I have to bust out the gold paint and pretty it up, and wax...but hey, it's a complete first coat.  Tomorrow Hubby and I start painting the rooms upstairs.  He changed his mind and wants to do it himself.  Really he just doesn't want to pay any one else, I'm good with that!

Design Help

So I dragged the Hubby to Joann's today, and aside from one male employee, he was the only man in there.  I guarantee it was funny!  I joked that he totally lost his 'man card'...did I mention I think I'm freaking hilarious...Hubby not so much.

Ok ok, here's where the help comes in, I bought fabric for some chair seats, and I have no idea what color to paint the chairs.  What ever color I paint the chairs I'm also paint the base of my table, I'd like them to match each other, but not the china hutch.

Fabric Sample, it's a shade lighter than the green I have on my old chairs.  We are getting rid of the old chairs, I found some I like so much better on craigslist for CHEAP!  The fabric was half off and cost almost as much as the chairs and table I bought.  The table isn't special.  It will probably be sold.

This picture is old, but it pretty much looks like this still, only MUCH messier cause the Hubby is home and has bought a lot of crap and littered my table with it...no biggy...well little biggy.  I'm not gonna lie, I'm Type A after all.  lol  I can live with the mess to have him home for a few weeks.

So what ASCP would you use? 

Pink Armoire update, finally got Hubby to take the Bakelite handle off, so I could get the last of the paint off, and the handle broke...sigh.  I guess I'm buying a new handle.  I also think I'm going to use more of a know style and just fill the other whole.  Something sparkly.

The old white/emperor's silk mix turned out great, love this shade of pink!

Have a great week!
