A Dry Sink Do Over!!

 Hi Sweet Friends,

I tackled a new DIY project
last week and wanted to show
you what I had done.

I bought this cute little Dry Sink
a couple of weeks ago and thought
it would go well in my antiques booth.
This cute Dry Sink was "stark" white
and I felt it need some depth of character.

And soooo





 I bought a tube of heavy body Acrylic paint in a tube by Liquitex in Neutral Gray.
 I thought black would be too harsh a color...I think the gray worked out really well.


Using the heavy bodied
acrylic gave me some play
and flexibility where I wanted
the color to go. I also kept a damp
cloth close by if I did not like what
I did, I could just wipe it off and start
again.

I lined the drawer as well with 
some cool vintage book pages
with Mod-Podge in Gloss/luster.








So her the little Dry Sink sits...waiting for someone to fall in love with it!!!
So my friends what have you been up to lately??


Don't forget my Giveaway is still going on till
the 20th of February.

Create something beautiful...or just dream beautiful thoughts

Love and Grace,

Susan

    I love the shabby chic applied elegance...sometimes pure white just won't do! Great job.

    Ciao bella.

    Absolutely beautiful. Now the funny thing is we have one we are working on now. I have decided to remove the door and keep the one drawer......as id...for a visual different look. I need to line the inside of the drawer. Hugs Mary

Hello Dear Friends.... So I'm here again!...I may just start blogging once more!! I wanted to share with you a simple little collage I made this week. I used a vintage book cover as my base. I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"! Springtime to me is a magical time of year, as nature once again brings forth beautiful flowers, and lush landscapes so pleasing to our soul. A
