Pop of Blue!

I needed a small piece of furniture to go in my bathroom to fill a space and serve as some additional storage. I already had this small 3 drawer piece but I felt it could use some sprucing before going in the new bathroom. 
I used some paint that I already had, you can find the formula on my previous 'Antique Armoire' post. It's an oil-based paint and even though it's a pain to clean up and it smells strong....i still love to use it once in awhile for the finish it provides. I used no primer and only used one coat of paint!


I love the piece and the color, but I can't decide if I love the color in that bathroom. Going to leave it for now and see if it grows on me.

Wooden Sign

I found this at at a little flea market about a year ago. It's been serving the purpose of a fireplace cover so my kitty couldn't get in there but now that kitty is a big ole cat I decided I would do something with it. 
I wanted to leave the letters white so I put on some sticky letters.  I painted Paris Gray over the entire thing and when it began to try I peeled off the letters. The gray bled into the white some so I'm going to go back and touch up my white and then do a coat of wax to darken it a little. 


I'm thinking headboard? Maybe just hang on a wall? Suggestions??
