I Want

IMG_9583

I really wanted to use this paint.

 

 

And I really wanted to use this remnant of cobalt blue velveteen.

And I really wanted something shiny with a little funk to it to use in the bedroom.

And I know the risk I am taking

in continuing to post photos which include my daughter’s zebra rug,

because

even though

I want that too-

 

that want is not coming true.

Nice job! I have a stool that needs a redo, but I keep putting in on the back burner. Maybe your daughter will forget you have the rug. :D
Hope you are enjoying your weekend and staying cool.

Happy Saturday!
Hugs,

That turned out so well - it should not be separated from the Zebra rug. Ever.

I'm warning you...if you don't quit showing how fabulous that rug looks, she's gonna remember and come get it. And if she doesn't...I will!

I've used that paint on so many things. What is it about gold finishes...I can't resist them!

That stool is beautiful with the royal blue...fit for a queen!

Dare I say it is very RICH looking or is that too cheesy? Love it! xo Diana

A little elegance with a little sass. That's a great combo for the little stool.

Karen said...

Love the stool! No comment on the rug as it will only draw more attention to it and then Lauren will suddenly say, "Mother, get your own rug!" Right?? lol
As for the gold spray paint. You bring back fun memories of my grandmother "Jean" whom we claimed would spray us gold if we stood still long enough. She loved gold spray paint! Your stool turned out GREAT!
The start to a really good day... my first cup of coffee and a fresh post by you.

Your little stool looks great! I had a little aunt that loved gold spray paint. Once when I went to visit she had just spray painted her toothbrush:)

Surely she'll give up on getting it back soon.
