Am I Blue?


It is truly not like me to be so colorful. Back in the 80's when  Color Me Beautiful was all the rage, I would have been an AUTUMN. If you are too young to know what I am talking about, count yourself...well, young...then click the link. Turns out, they are still around. Who knew! Anyway, suffice it to say I am not a bright color type person.

Or am I?

Note: Dollar Store plate. Blue.
I will not be eating off this plate because God only knows where it was made and what toxins it contains, but it makes a sweet little decorative piece. I am thinking of stamping it with a fleur-de-lis.

$3 Hobby Lobby clearance finial. spray painted and faux finished by moi.
This used to have sort of a dark copper finish.


In the center photo, you can see what happens when you do not wipe the finish well. Just keepin' it real. :)



I was going for Isabel Bloom, in blue.

Did I hit it?

Either way, all sorts of blues are slowly creeping their way across my home. 
In fact, I have a couple more projects lined up for this particular shade of blue.
It may be unusual, but it sure is fun!



PS. Now I am really missing my wider margins!
Pin It!

I like the blues. Doesn't blue signify a calm, peaceful state of mind? Or something like that?
