I didn’t get quite as much painting done on the weekend as I hoped to – but I did manage to get he front door painted (both inside and out) and the patio table painted. And everything is turquoise!
The outside of the front door got a fresh coat of the original colour…
And the inside got a couple of coats of a brand new colour – PARA Paints Tahitian Pearl from their new Colour Forecast Palette. Here’s a “before” close-up:
And an “after” close-up of Tahitian Pearl:
When I picked up the can of Tahitian Pearl a couple of months ago, I also got a can of Boysenberry, which I used to paint the cabinet next to the front door. I just knew the two colours would look great together! :-) And PARA’s Leek inside the cabinet finishes off my favourite colour trio – purple, turquoise, and green :-)
And then there’s the patio table – I started painting it PARA’s Lush Turquoise, but it turned out to be too light in the sunlight. Hubby suggested using the same colour as I used on the front door – either the inside or the outside colour. I decided to go with the outside colour because it’s an outdoor paint. The table was a PITA to paint, but I’m really happy with the final result :-) I can't show you the whole table yet because it’s not quite finished – I still need to get new tiles for the top. But here’s a peek…
I did get one coat of paint on the stool, but now I’m not sure what I want to do with it. I know if won’t be turquoise, though, because I don’t have any turquoise FAT Paint. Although I do have Indigo and Apple Green… hmmmm….
