Mini Project Reveal!

I used a $3 paint sample to transform our wooden banister & spindles! The paint was Olympic Afternoon Tea.





As you can see, I decided against the white spindles in the end. My husband won this one...and rightfully so because the white test spindle looked way too country in our foyer. I have a future project that will transform our foyer outlets. Our foyer painter gave me his blessing so I'm going for it!

I may end up using the same brown paint on our kitchen cabinets. It has a metallic sheen to it and I. dig. it. I planned on adding some glossy coats of protection to the banister, but we'll see if that ever happens. I still have many touch ups before I can even think of that.

Happy Sunday!

I'm going to see No Strings Attached with my mom and grandma this afternoon. BUNCHA CRUNCH. YEA! POPCORN. YEA!

Lily is mad at me because I didn't tell you guys how much help she was with painting this weekend. Here, I'll show you -
