It's been sitting there mocking me everytime I walk by because I couldn't decide what to do with it. Then Karianne from Thistlewood Farms announced she was having a Krylon Spray Painting Party. Perfect, I have just the item that needs fixin'! And I finally figured out what I wanted.
Then I decided it need to be a bit brighter so I used the metallic gold.
And to get the look I was going for, I used Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze in a light spray and wiping off excess. I also sanded a bit to bring out some of the original black.
I really like how the colours gave it an aged brass patina...just the look I was hoping for!
This butler cart it's sitting on is out back with it's first coat of paint.
A hand me down that needs a lot of TLC.
Love the new home for my bird.
The light is really bad, hard to see the paint colours properly.
My plan is to use this at Christmas for my outdoors greens arrangements. Before I do that, I'll be sure to protect it with clear rust protector.
Can't wait to get started on that! I think it will look great at the front door. (Ok, so I'm rushing Christmas...)
