Its going to be a painting weekend!

The design for the rug has been finalized …

color has been chosen – SW Loyal Blue – with a name like that, who can’t trust it, right?

supplies purchased – yes plywood is a part of that, any guesses how?

all that is left is to paint! 

and it is going to be a painting weekend …

the other painting project?

let me introduce you to my mirror – and yes I say my because we have had quite the journey together…

I first spotted a few in tj  maxx in TN complete with technicolor maroon coloring for $59.99 since all of them were scratched, I figured that it would go on clearance and then I would pull the trigger – going back I found one left for $20 – grabbed it – ran to the register and promptly brought it home to paint it – I then noticed the texture on the outer circles, which I wasn’t crazy about but couldn’t think of a good way to fix so I decided to leave it – so there it hung above the bed – white probably wasn’t the best choice with the rental walls but it was much better than its technicolor past!

Headboard was made in TN and sold before we moved – fabric is a drop cloth that I tinted slightly gray

After we moved to CA I decided that I wanted to fix the texture in the outer circles – so I applied bondo – once dry, it was SO hard to sand on the curved surface (I would not recommend using bondo unless you can easily access the area to be sanded!) –  after some sanding – I decided to take a break …  but I am determined to finish it this weekend!

It will be going on the landing above the shoe cabinet – I’ve decided to keep the ombre theme going for the landings – check back next week to see what I do!

Also, I was asked to do a tutorial on how I airbrush – so I will also be posting that in conjunction with the mirror!!
