When Is a Vase a Vaasz?

This "vase",

found in my mother's 

stash from 1995,

almost ended up 

in the dumpster...

then I got an idea!

a couple coats

of Chalk Style paint...

1. Chocolate Brown

2. Beach Cottage Teal (mixed w/chocolate)

A coat of clear wax,

and it went from 1995

to 2016 Market Ready!

I would refer to it

now 

as a 

"Vaasz!"

Spring Colors Bring New Life to Old Table

My spring fever

is making me see 

robin egg blue...

my sister handed me this

little table

and said

paint it or do whatever

you want to with it...

 I got out the chalk style paints

and started mixing up

a robin egg blue...

my inspiration???

little fake bird eggs,

(they're going in a little

nest soon)...

on my palette:

creamy white,

robin egg blue,

rusty brown,

and faded green

first the blue...

then some brown

here and there...

a splash of green,

a hit of white,

a smear here

and speckle there...

then sand and distress...

the dark wax was too dark,

so I toned it down with some clear wax...

and Voila!...

What a fun little project...

such a small table

but what 

a big statement...
