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.

My Favorite Painted Cabinet

I was cleaning the basement this week and I uncovered a cabinet that I have had since around 1998 and it has been in storage because it needed some TLC.

  My girlfriend is the one who found it first, but because she did not want to ship it ALL the way to California, she passed.  As soon as she said no I said.

 I WILL!  

I am not exactly sure what it started out as but the cabinet took on the job of storing our liquer, UNTIL a wine bottle leaked and expanded all of the joints. 

So, into storage until Mr. M. could fix it. 

As you can imagine, just like any household there is always a list of things for our husbands to do. 

The cabinet sits, and sits, and sits for several years. 

Until today.

 I brought it upstairs and got out the airnailer and I FIXED it. 

 Sometimes you shouldn't wait for someone else to do something when you can do it YOURSELF!

I love the hand painted flowers.

Even the inside of the door has roses painted on it.

Great chippy paint.

I just love the details. 

Depending on what light you are looking at the piece it can either look aqua or green.

  Now I have to figure out where I want to put it.

I am going to share my found treasure at Show and Tell Friday with Cindy from My Romantic Home and Furniture Feature Friday with Miss Mustard Seed Creations.

I can't believe it is Friday already, have a wonderful weekend!
