Just a quick post today to share some of the things that I have transformed lately with paint. I am continually amazed at how easily the look of something can be dramatically changed with just a few coats of paint!
The first thing that I wanted to show you was this pair of vintage wood and metal wall sconces that I gave a much needed makeover! I found the prettiest shade of blue, I think it is called "Lagoon Blue", gotta love that name.
I think it is such a cheery, calming, yet energizing shade of blue! If you are interested, they are currently in my Etsy shop. I am having a sale right now of everything in my shop, just enter the code: Paris1 when checking out, to receive 20% off from your entire order!
Can you believe this is what they used to look like! I think they were almost begging me for a makeover!
This next project was really a fun one! I took a rather plain and ordinary looking shadow box, and gave it a makeover with the prettiest shade of light blue. Some distressing and the addition of a few shells that I collected on beach vacations, and viola! A beachy chic shadow box!
I really love the hanger. I think it also would look so pretty laying on a table!
And this is what she used to look like!
Ok, in my excitement to paint this puppy, I neglected to take a before shot! I gave this vintage cast iron trivet a new lease on life with some vibrant turquoise paint (my own custom blended shade!!).
This also can be found in my Etsy shop.
Here is one last look.
Hope you are having a great weekend! Now, get those paintbrushes out and get busy!!

These are great. I just saw a pair of the candle holders at our thrift shop..I didn't look at them twice..:)) Now, I will, tho.
Hi Donna,
I love everything but my favorite is the shell box. I love the color that you used, so pretty.

The sconces are my favorite, but everything is wonderful. Although...that trivet is beautiful too...;)
Love everything. The shadow box is awesome. I would have bought that had I seen it in your shop. It probably didn't last too long!! Hope you are having an enjoyable weekend!!
Gorgeous colors, you are getting me in the mood to spray away!
It is amazing how things look different going from dark to light and even different shades of soft blue, white and even pink. You know I love it all! Hope you sales are up!

I love that Lagoon Blue that you used on the sconces! Gorgeous color!

The shadow-shell box is my favorite! Who wouldn't love to have THAT?
I love that you thought to paint the trivet. That is the kind of thing I like to do too. Upcycle something that is looking a bit tired and weary into something bold and beautiful.
Would love it if you would consider sharing this on Motivated Monday at BeColorful too.

All of this so pretty! The shadow box is adorable! Great job on painting and color choices!
These are very nice! My family is heading to Florida for a vacation, I think I will collect some shells with the idea of a shadowbox display in mind!
I am loving those sconces! They look so chic

What kind of paint do you use on the shadow box - well I guess for the wood items, period - ????
I'm wondering if you use wall paint or just regular craft paint. Also, do you put a top matte coat on it or something - before or after distressing a bit.
I love that blue and have something wood in mind that I can't figure out what to paint on it because I don't like the craft paints.
Thanks.
You know I like your style. Thanks for sharing this on Motivated Monday at BeColorful.

Again, you did a fantastic job with this!! :-)
My favorite item from those you showed in this post is the shadow box with shells. It is absolutely gorgeous!
Don't be a stranger!
