Why the delay in posting the after pics? This is why:
and this...
Had a fabulous 5 day getaway to beautiful Longboat Key, FL. Beaching, shopping, eating, and just hanging out with a great friend. Did I mention the shopping?
The before:
In process (the saved plant containers made wonderful risers):
The mess (Thought I was being very careful - used a drop cloth covered with newspaper. Did not realize til afterwards how far the spray went. Thank goodness I moved the cars!):
The after:
Still a dated piece, but a nice change for the cost of one can of ORB spray paint. Okay, so Sherry and John over at Young House Love may be on to something good! I see more cans of ORB in my future!
Slipcovers for the sofa and loveseat are on the to-do list. Dropcloths have been purchased and the sewing machine is out for a tune-up.
Enjoy this lovely fall day,
Sara
I love it! I've never painted brass- now I can give it a try!
