Painting Project with Patti

My very good friend Patti is visiting from KY this week.  Mark and I look forward to her visits for many reasons...the biggest being that Patti is HILARIOUS...I mean really...we laugh the entire time she's here.  But the other reason is that Patti inspires us to do projects that we want to do, but for some reason keep putting off.  This painting project was one of those.  The items needed a lift...and I think we succeeded in giving them just that.  Thanks Patti!

 The trunks before their makeover.


A little scrubbing to remove cobwebs etc.


Bright blue to wake things up a bit.


Lovely purple to balance the bright blue.


The file cabinet got jealous, so we squeezed in another makeover.


The dresser patiently waited its turn.


The paint.  Pretty huh?  Best part?  This was a gallon of oops paint that only cost $7.71!  Nice!


The first stroke.  Lovely!


The finished dresser.  I LOVE it!


The entire cast...post makeover.  It changes the entire space.  Yay!
