I bought this sweet cherub mirror at the Brimfield Antique Fair last Spring and it sat in my basement waiting patiently for its turn for a paint job worthy of making it up the stairs... :)And then the other day, I was catching up on blogs that I follow when Sissie (as I'm sure most of you already know) from Sissie's Shabby Cottage did a post on some doors that she refinished with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace. Bingo!! And out the door I went for a quart!
Love the color! Yes...I know it's white but it's such a pretty white! :)
Thanks to Sissy for turning me on to my new favorite paint!
This is gorgeous Diane!! Love it with it's new paint job and the candle is perfect with it!

What a transformation Diane! I've seen that color swatch at the hardware store and now I know how beautiful it can turn out. LOVE the candle and starfish additions. Perfect, and you definitely toned down the original look.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

Wow, so much prettier in white! I want to hop the fence into the white/gray neighborhood... at least that is a goal for now. It may take awhile to convert my hubby to white. Come for a visit. Make it a great week.

Hi Diane, so glad you stopped by for a visit...nice meet a fellow White lover! I've been enjoying your posts....love the cupboard from Brimfield. It's been a dream of mine to get a show one day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the 'tip' on the white paint. It's amazing how many shades of white there are, so when you find one you love is a good thing.
Have a nice week. I'm trying to finish the projects I've started.
Blessings,
Susie
