Bonjour Mes Amis!
I was about to share with you another Christmas project that I've been working on, but thought I would save that for a bit later in the season! Instead, I wanted to show you one of my latest creations, that I transformed with one of my favorite shades of aqua!
I was beyond excited when I found this vintage kitchen dimensional wall hanging while out thrifting the other day! Of course she didn't look this pretty when I found her. Oh, no! She was more than a bit tired and dated, and was just begging for a transformation!
Are you ready to see her in her "before" state?
Yikes! I told you she was dated! I'm sure the other shoppers took one look and thought "that poor woman has horrible taste!"
Even hubby was more than a bit apprehensive when I shared it with him!
But I immediately knew that with some aqua paint and a bit of distressing, she could go from dated and drab to funky and fab!!
I think the hooks would be the perfect spot to hang potholders or aprons (I always wear an apron when I work in the kitchen, do you?)
I'm so happy with the makeover, and can't believe what a difference paint can make!
I've placed her in my Etsy shop. Now I would love to find more of these beauties!

Donna- I have never seen one o those before. Wow- That is a big piece. It turned out great! Blue? Did you run out of WHITE?;>) Oh- Wait..that is your other favorite color!!!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? I always wear an apron in the kitchen, too. I am too sloppy NOT to wear one! xo Diana
LOL- I would have had my doubts, too. Looks so much better. I have never seen a piece like this one, but will be looking from now on for things that make you gag to see if I can do this, too.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed when someone does something . . . way out of the box. This is so pretty . . . I have to wrap my brain around it. I would have walked right by and never thought about how cute this would be painted. You Rock :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Good eye! Transformed the ugly into something wonderful
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous transformation. I actually picked up something similar in Goodwill and plan on painting it for my kitchen in the near future. Thanks for the inspiration, Donna!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic transformation!! Love the aqua color, good thing you decided to paint it and not leave it the way it was.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

The after is so much nicer. I love the aqua color. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh wow Donna, that 'before' picture sure was shocking - and not in a good way! Hee hee!
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how much better it looks with your magical painting touch. Nice work!
