Remember this humdrum piece? This one took me longer to do than most because I went through so many spectrums of color trying to find the right one. I almost did it in red (probably the next one!), but I really wanted more of a garden feel.
So, without further ado.....here she is!
I have a lot of sage green paint leftover from painting the cabinets in my mother-in-law's house, but I wanted a little more green to it. So, I mixed in some Granny Smith Apple green that I had and came up with this refreshing color. It reminds me of the wall color that you saw a lot of in 1940s and 50s homes.
It needed something extra, so I went to The Graphics Fairy page for help and found this adorable French Typography here. Then I gave her a little distressing and a little dark wax to age her up.
Now she is ready for her next garden party!
See her at Lucketts!
See her at Lucketts!
Footnote: Our porch is scheduled to get painted in two weeks!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little tea cart, Susan! I have been seeing a few of these recently, although I haven't bought one to makeover yet. Years ago I found one that someone was throwing out, rescued it, and made it over for myself. I used it to hold all my creamers and sugars until that collection got out of hand! : ) Love the graphic you used. This would probably be great as a drinks cart indoors and outdoors, too.
