Meanwhile, TheSmithGarage has been strategically piling up with furniture projects. You ask - what is strategic about furniture projects piling up? Well...I am anxiously awaiting a shipment of CeCe Caldwell's paint to arrive - I think it will ship in the next few days. I will be receiving several colors in this shipment (15 variations) and I want to try all the colors on different pieces. So I have compiled some pictures so you can know what to look for in the coming weeks when I get back in the garage and start working on these projects.
This is a steel bookshelf with sliding doors - a guy's garage shelf. I would like to go with a racing theme on this one - maybe red with a racing strip. Needs a little body work on the left side there - and some rust removal.
A very nice heavy mirror that Mrs. Smith found - think it needs a little color!
This is a tough one - give me some ideas.
Nice little end-table - needs a refreshing color.
This great little antique piece will love a new coat of paint - looking for inspiration on this one.
This was a free pickup - well, it cost me about $4 in gas. Can't wait to see what it turns out to be.
If you would like to see the other items ready for painting - take a look at my earlier post - Summary of Upcoming Projects. So I wait, and collect. Mrs. Smith has a plan for all of these items - many will go to Oregon Street Antique Mall - upstairs, and some will go to Mrs. Smith's Spring shows. But all will get a coat or two of CeCe Caldwell's paint. Really looking forward to receiving the paint in the next few weeks.
I hope you have something to say - I could use some inspiration on colors for these pieces. Please leave your comments - and come back to see the finished product!
