Getting my paint on

FINALLY, a warm & sunny weekend in Ottawa! And this weekend, I’m REALLY going to get some painting projects done that I’ve been thinking about for months.

1. Front door

The outside needs a freshening up with a coat of Sherwin Williams Oceanside. And the inside is getting a new colour – PARA Paints Tahitian Pearl. I love Oceanside on the outside, but it’s a bit bright on the inside.

  

2. Stool

This little stool has been sitting in the basement for years. I think my grandpa made it after I was born, so that makes it pretty old ;-)

I’m going to do a little something to it using FAT Paint. If you haven’t heard of FAT Paint, my friend and old blog partner Victoria started the company last year, She and her brother recently opened a shop in New Westminster selling paint and furniture – if you’re in the area, check it out :-)

3. Patio table

This project idea just came to me recently. The finish on our patio table is completely worn and faded, and it really needs some new life. It was already given a new lease on life once when wind blew the table over a few years ago and the glass top shattered. We replaced the top with tiles, which I’d already removed before I remembered I needed a “before” picture :-) Those are my furry supervisors circling the table ;-)

I’ve got this colour combo in mind…

There are a couple of other pieces of furniture floating around the house that I might get my hands on as well – you know, when I get all these projects finished in a day and have nothing else to do ;-)

Has spring finally arrived in your corner of there world? Got any weekend projects planned?

Happy weekend!
