Goldilockes and the Three Blues




Remember how I said I don't like blue, well, I must have been having a weak moment and forgot myself.

BECAUSE

I bought two new blues.
I don't know what I was thinking.



This blue was TOO green.



This blue was TOO blue.



Mix them together and.........



The third blue was JUST RIGHT!


I hope.

I like how the chair looks, even before distressing and waxing.



The new color goes great with the fabric I was using as my inspiration.



I like it, but just in case I have some WHITE PAINT waiting on the counter if the blue doesn't grow on me.

So what do you think, will I keep it or will it be white next week?

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

The green/blue paint is an oops from Home Depot and the light blue is Louis Blue chalk paint.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!


I am joining Miss Mustard Seed Furniture Feature Friday for a chalk paint party.

    I love the chair and the paint you mixed. It goes perfectly with the fabric. Don't paint it white. I can't believe I just said that giving most of my furniture is white. Blue is growing on me too. I painted my first piece a light blue gray.

    Live with it a few weeks (weeks, not days) and maybe it will grow on you. I love it right this minute. The fabric on the seat is gorgeous!

    I love it! But, I'm like you, I would probably like it for a little while then be tempted to paint it white.

    I can't leave anything alone!! LOL!
