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'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!).

These look a gorgeous french gray to me! great job! I just have no patience for painting like this--I wish I did! Jacqueline

Antique aqua...that is lovely! I must go get some...it just looks like perfection.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna....that new color is wonderful! I've been adding robin's egg blue to my white rooms....like the addition of another color.
ReplyDeleteWe were out on the lake all afternoon...HOT!
Thank you for visiting today.

Hey Donna,
ReplyDeleteI just popped in to say "hi!" Hope you're doing great!
Hugs,

I love this color! I think I am going to have to add this to my stash of paints that I keep on hand. I recently bought a berry colored spray paint that I couldn't stop looking at when I went to get my standard black and Heirloom White. I figured, "Oh, just get one can and see how it looks!" Hope to try it out soon, but I don't think it will be the next aqua!
