Sally, I'm thinking cobalt blue for at least one of them. I'm totally open to suggestions on the other. Thanks for reading.
Shopping Brimfield for Antiques & Furniture Suitable for Painting
Lucianna Samu Seems anyone who lives within traveling distance of Massachusetts is busy cleaning out their car to make room for every possibility and probability to be found at what hard-core salvage and antique hunters simply call, Brimfield. It's known officially as The Brimfield Antique Show...

Colors Every Man Will Love
Lucianna Samu Now that you have all had a chance to process the construction details of my tiny storage cabinet, I'd like to share the inspiration for this unusual color solution. I'm not opposed to a solid color accent wall in general, but with a little ingenuity it's possible to take the ubiq...
Share away Tanna. Let me know if you ever try it. Would love to see what you come up with.

The glazing is the easy part. Give it a try on a sample board or the inside of a closet and let me know how you make out.

Lucianna Samu Avid thrift shoppers, garage sale hunters and curbside collectors alike have yet to put a crimp in the availability of solid wood finds worthy of up-cycling. I like that word, up-cycling--it has a certain poetic ring to it that blurs the fact that really what we're all doing is ...
It is pretty simple project and certainly brings new life to an old door. I'm sure your husband will be thrilled to help!

Lucianna Samu It's probable that there are better things to dream about on a sultry August afternoon than bedroom walls that match the Mediterranean, or a bathroom painted the color of my riding instructor's Palomino horse. Maybe cruising the Mediterranean or riding the Palomino horse. Hopeful...
