Mrs. Smith's dad - Marshal, picked up this trashed nightstand. He didn't get a picture of it before he worked on it, but you can see that he used some glue and putty to get it in painting condition.
So I had in mind to paint it in CeCe Caldwell's Portland Rose (a very light pink). I thought it would be a cute girl's nightstand. Mrs. Smith asked that I paint it Maine Harbor Blue - so what do you think I did? ...Maine Harbor Blue...
So having all kinds of time Saturday - I decided to go one step further and paint a Union Jack flag on the top. I used Traverse City Cherry and Simply White.
Here is is finished with one of Mrs. Smith's little chicks and a mustache man postcard. Very fun and very fast. Freehand painting now since I have done a few before. just used brush widths. Hope you enjoy, Follow and come back for a few more finished pieces from the weekend. And something extra special coming soon - Mrs. Smith paints her first piece with CeCe Caldwell's paint - and it turns out to be incredible! You will want to see it.
Mr. Smith

GREAT NIGHTSTAND, LOVE THE UNION JACK!
ReplyDeleteThanks - just what this little nightstand needed.
DeleteAmazing what paint can do!
ReplyDeleteoh yes - it really is. Unbelievable what a transformation this little guy had.
DeleteThis piece really turned out great!! Love the Union Jack graphic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharla - Beacuase this piece was so small - it was pretty fast to paint that on there. And with the CeCe paint - it dries so fast you don't have to worry about bleeding from red to white.
Deleteawesome job! way to take a plain jane to a cool jack!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cassie, certainly was fun. It just felt appropriate to give it some pizzaz!
