I have been busy on projects today! I thought I would share them with my friends in blog land!! Hope you enjoy!
I bought this box at an Estate sale. I do not remember what I paid for it,but it was not expensive at all. It was a gilded gold. I bought some oil rubbed bronze spray paint and gave it a good spray! I love how it turned out. I know most would have painted it white , but it looks better on my coffee table this color!
This is a photo of the wall in the hall. The lamp was my husbands before we were married. I really liked it so I let him keep it! LOL. The wall was rather bare, so I thought some tweaking was due to be done!
I found this flower container at a yard sale (of course). I sprayed painted it the same oil rubbed bronze that I used to paint the box!
Before
After:
What a unique and pretty box! And your wall looks much happier with something on it, too! Thanks for your kind comments at Red Hen Home!

I love that finish, what wonderful transformations. That little box looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did to the bos. I have one just like it and have been thinking of changing it. The wall treatment looks nice!
ReplyDeleteI love your box as it is...not everything needs to be white! Love an empty wall just begging for a little treatment!

Susan, that lamp looks like it almost touches the ceiling. Would love to have one like that too...it's such a nice light when it bounces off the ceiling like that.
ReplyDeleteLike your little box...nice when things work out that we can use them for decoratively.

thanks so much for stopping by my blog !! Love your tea cup ! Did you pick it out, or was it a gift. Have a great day !! Stop in anytime again.. Jules ♥
ReplyDeleteSusan - Great finds (the March tea cup & saucer is precious)....That Wendall August Christmas piece drew my attention. When we were in Holmes County (?) not so very long ago, someone told us to be sure to see the August Weller Forge. We did. (Berlin, OH). It was very impressive. There you can learn the whole story of this industry. You got a bargain. I'm pretty sure you could look it up on the internet and find out some prices and what metal it is, too. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to buy something in their showroom, but just couldn't let go of the $$$! :)
Hi Susan, It's so nice to meet you! I'm glad you liked my livingroom makeover. :o)
ReplyDeleteYour planter looks great and I love the tea cup and saucer and the white lacework. So pretty!
BTW, I noticed you mentioned trying to lose weight. You might be interested in today's post about getting out of our weightloss 'slump'. I host a weightloss support group blog called, Gettin Thin Together where everyone who joins can share their ups and downs and whatever helps them along the way.
I'd love to have you drop by or maybe even join us! (Yea you--getting a treadmill!)
Blessings,

Great finds! The teacup was a real bargain. Didn't realize you lived in Myrtle Beach. Such a beautiful place! Love it there.
