From Thrift Store Dud to Painted Stud
Friday, January 25, 2013
Ok, well I really think of this piece as a she, but stud rhymes with dud. I almost left this piece at the thrift store, I wasn't sure about the sides and the height (26 inches, a little shorter than a typical sofa table). But another customer talked me into it and it was half price day.
I wasn't sure which color to paint this piece. It was going to go cream--old ochre to be exact, because let's face it, it is neutral and sells. But I needed some color so I went with Aubosson Blue and Old Ochre. I am loving this blue, sort of a teal, but reminds me of a rich denim color.
I used dark wax,
a dud no longer.
I waited to get pictures in daylight and then had all these shadows going--lighting, hmphhh--my least favorite part of photography. Find more fun things at Funky Junk Interiors!
