I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I was a busy girl over the holidays and I did a lot of painting. Here is another project I worked on. I picked these bookends at the Value Village close to my home (I love that place!) and turned them from dark brown (read boring) to shabby chic! Of course, I don't have a before photo. I am getting better though...I took a bunch of photos today of projects I haven't yet started.
I chalk painted these white and waxed them with clear followed by black wax all over, but especially in all of the nooks and crannies, to really make those details pop!
Aren't they awesome?
These have a really nice weight to them too! Here the are up close:
Wow, wow, wow!
They are available in our Champagne Shabby Etsy shop. I have a feeling they won't be there for long though!
I will definitely be on the look-out for more of these. It's the simple decor items, I think, that can really transform a space. I plan to do something with the books too. Stay tuned...
See you again soon. I'll be continuing to feature "the smalls". I am motivated to get these all done and then move on to some other larger pieces I have. I've got a bunch that are "in progress" so I'll be sharing those with you too. Take good care in the meantime!
