IT DONT MATTER OF YOUR BLACK OR WHITE!

Im in a painting mood- seriously everything in my house might be white next week- I started with my coffee table sanded it down

Paint color is Benjamin Moores white cotton. With dry touches of cable knit. Basically I took a dry brush and very light amounts of paint and dragged it across for a more weathered look.

I still need to go get some beautiful hardware- unfortunately the closest anthropology is 3 hours away And we don't have very many craft stores- 

Until november - then we get one in Calgary I'm soooooo excited

Next week I'm tackling the couch- Fabric is here and Im stoked!

Oh how I love thee Green Coral Paint

We are currently in the process of revamping our living room. I went through the whole global bizarre phase when I used to work at Pier one as a visual merchandiser. Needless to say my taste has changed like crazy in the last 4 years- and I am completely sick of black in my house. So off I went to Benjamin Moore. The color I picked was coral green-the name scared me because I wanted more of a tiffany blue- but I closed my eyes and held up 3 color samples then opened my eyes and the one I was drawn  to first is what I picked- that way I knew I would love it. Ahh I heart you Benjamin Moore. The mecca of goodness for a color lover. Heres a shot of my end table before.

I got this nifty little sander at the store- I really want  a power one for x mas-

 but this worked just fine and was nicer than holding sandpaper by far!

And drum roll please.......Ta Daaa 

The finished product whimsical fresh and quirky-

 I think thats my word of the week

 and the whole project costed under 15 bucks. 

Is it not amazing what a little paint  will do! 

 I'm on the hunt for some cute hardware- any suggestions- 

this one is weird because there are 2 screws in the backs of the pull handles.

Ok Sorry had to share...humor me

EEEK!!!!!!!!!! 

I finally have a cheesy kissing in a frame picture. 

Yay 

Thank you Josh from PVM PHOTOGRAPHY for appeasing my cheesy cutsyness.

So I'm kindve into repainting everything in sight right now and one of my fav websites diy.com has an amazing section called paint everything. You can even turn your old glass pieces into something whimsical and fun. subtle yet quirky.

LOVE

oh p.s. I found an antique vanity last week at a garage sale- before and afters coming soon.

I changed my mind

 Have you ever heard of tonic- well if you havn't it's amazing! Retro printed upholstery fabric. I originally wanted to do a big floral print for the couch. But I saw this and fell in love. Plus its 3 times less and when you have to order 18 yards- thats an awesome deal! I also think it works better with my house.  All of my baseboards are black. I love the vintage feel- But I am also extremely retro in my style and love 60's influences. So I think I can put bright pillows on the black and white- that way If I ever get sick of my house- I think this couch will always always be quirky Bree. Im excited to start redoing my house. I'm painting a lot of stuff trying to use what I have just in different ways. So you like?

Excuse me as I wipe the drool off the floor.

These are drop dead gorgeous and so original that I'm in love. I want one to put in a little mercury vase by my nightstand table. So I can wake up to sparkling beautiful color every morning.
