COLOR CHALLENGE

we are in the midst of painting the family room
I felt our tv cabinet needed some help
and was inspired by funky junk Donna
to try a COLOR...

I chose this green...
well honestly...
because it was sitting in the basement

the room will be a neutral soft gray
so some COLOR might be nice
I did a little light distressing

I loved the old hardware
and didn't want to switch it
I had this old barkcloth in the closet
I may change it...
or not.

this is it!

??????????????

sometimes I like it... sometimes I don't!!




I am linkng with Funky Junk Donna's colour challenge

  11. LOL!! Your ending comment totally cracked me up. I'm trying to dig lotsa colour bang too but sometimes I just don't feel the love.

    If you're unsure, before you repaint, try a glaze over the piece. I think you'll fall in love. :)

    Lovely cabinet!

    really love it at Christmas

    is white...or days are gray...
    and that pop of color will
    make you smile. Just wait.
