Howdy one and all! I know I've been MIA for a few weeks now! Well, I'm feeling more like
me and have begun to tackle my greatest task . . . the "Elephant in the Room", my china hutch! LOL! The reason I call it the "elephant in the room" is because I live in a one bedroom apt without a patio for a painting area. Plus the cabinet is much too large for me to use my usual outside space, my parking space. *_* Thus, I have to paint it in place in my livingroom; inconvenient mess, especially since the piece is so large. Here is its present paint colors plus a peek at some of my blue/white collection. : -)
It's been this color since about 2002! I'll show the first original paint job when I do the complete reveal! This hutch is the first piece of furniture I ever attempted to paint! Please ignore the mess in the picture below; one of the challenges of diy in an apt - moving furniture and everything else around when you're painting. lol
I had a challenge on this back area. You can see where the top of the hutch sat; the last time I painted with the top in place. Can you see the old turquoise color?
Here's a sneak peek of where I'm taking it now! The first step of painting it two-toned! This color is a bit misleading as I've since remixed the diy chalk paint. But not by much . . . -_^ What do you think the second color will be?
So that's it for now! I'm hoping to finish this by this weekend .. . energy willing. Hope your week is going well. Stay tuned . . .
