We have royally sucked at blogging this week. Blame Kylie.
Remember when I put shutters on my wall? Yeah, well... I got bored with those after a few short weeks. Maybe it's the Gemini in me.
Onto the next thing...
WHITE SHELVES. WHITE EVERYTHING.
I saw a photo on Pinterest of white shelving with white accent pieces and fell in love. It looked so fresh and so clean. Outkast would have been proud. I had to recreate.
Hobby Lobby was having a 50% off sale on canvas and letters - so I grabbed a couple of things that I could spray paint white, including a "K" and a blank canvas to which I added my favorite Sylvia Plath quote.
Before the spray paint. White on white. |
Sylvia canvas after the paint. |
The "K" after the paint. |
I found an Etsy shop that sells digital prints and since chevron seems to be my favorite pattern at the moment, I bought this pack and framed the yellow print for my shelves.
It's a work in progress, but this is what replaced the shutters:
My newly found passion for white doesn't end there. While at Joe's Collectibles in the Old Market the other day, I found a beauty of a desk that Joe was giving away for next to nothing. I had been looking for something just like it to paint and turn into a vanity for my room. Joe's is never not the answer.
I've been sanding and painting all day and will hopefully have pictures of the finished product by Monday. It's looking really good so far.
These are the before photos:
A formula for dynamite - added bonus that I didn't find until it was in my garage. There's also a devil carved into the backside of the desk. Awesome. |
I'm also painting my huge mirror and a couple of other things which I will blog about next week. Try not to let the anticipation get to you.
Have a lovely weekend, all.
