I Love Aqua, and a $25 giveaway reminder!

Good Morning Ladies!
Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday!  We had friends over last night for a cookout, and then went out on our pontoon boat to watch the fireworks over the lake.  It was such a pretty display!  One side of the lake seemed to try & outdo each other, and just when we thought the grand finales were thru, they started up again!  It's been very hot & muggy here, so being on the lake, or in the water is about the best place to be right now!

Thought I would share with you today a couple of my latest transformations.  Lest you think I am a one trick pony, and paint everything in site Heirloom White, I have now branched out into color!  My latest love is a color that I mixed out of several different craft paints, and I am calling "antique aqua".

I am so happy with the way these wooden candlesticks turned out!  I've shown you the before shot.  They came in a set of three, but since I was making them for my etsy shop (and they just sold, yeah!!), I thought they might sell better as a pair, and since they are very heavy, I thought postage would be too pricey for all three.  So I still have the largest one to paint yet.

I'm sorry that I couldn't find the before shot of this mirrored wall sconce.  It started out gold, and I can't believe how much better it looks in aqua!  I just sold this one, too :)  And I used Ralph Lauren antiquing glaze in smoke on both of these projects (of course!).

If you haven't already entered my giveaway, please be sure to hop on over to BobbyPinsBoardwalk, where lovely Jan is hosting the giveaway.  One lucky winner will receive $25 credit towards anything in my etsy, and free shipping too! tomorrow is your last day to enter, so good luck!
