A while back, we had a “paint party” where bloggers were sent some Mycolor paint, and they were challenged to come up with creative ideas for their paint. I wanted to share some of the projects here on the blog, because they were all so great! First up, is Shannon Berrey’s project.

Shannon says, “This was my first time using the paint and since I paint alot, I am always excited to try new products. I decided to give it a go on a pair of antique tables that I bought to use in a clients bedroom.”

“This was the picture that I sent to my client, who is 9 by the way, and her mother, for approval. We are giving her a new bedroom and I thought these would be perfect bedside tables. They agreed. Fyi–they look way better in the picture than they did in real life. Nothings worse than a bad distressed paint job and these were toting just that. The paint had even been slapped on the pretty brass hardware. sigh.”

“I removed the hardware and sanded most of the paint off with a palm sander. Since the paint is self priming, I got to skip a step and covered them with Seed Pearl which is a really nice warm white with just a touch of gray.”

“My clients only request — she wanted a pink and orange color scheme {a girl after my own heart } After the Seed Pearl was dry, I opened up my Scarlet and Carrot. “

“Using frog tape, I created about a 1 1/4″ border {give or take – I eyeballed it}. I used the Carrot to fill in the border. “
