Part II of "Oh No, What did I do?"

Good morning one an all!  I thank those who gave me feed back on the breakfront!  I painted the breakfront on Thursday afternoon as you can see here.  Well, after painting, or should I say during the process, I was really panicing and thinking "Oh No" I have ruined this beautiful piece of furniture....ooops!

Well, I decided to fill it with the milk glass I have and some other items that I thought might look good in it and here it is:

 I need to pick up some bigger plates cause these little ones were really meant for a mosaic project I want to undertake one of these days - plus you cannot really see them in here.  I love the antique pink martini glasses I received when I rec'd the breakfront!

 Above it is topped with some stuff around the house.  And below it is topless - I kinda like it with the stuff on top.
  

Well, this whole piece has grown on me in the past few days and has really brightend up our living room - I am definitely adding another coat of MMS linen to the outside then I think I will forgo the waxing and use Jo Sonya's clear acrylic varnish -- it doesn't yellow and is just an all around wonderful product.  As I have mentioned in other posts, I have tried them all and this really wears the best!    So there you have it and that's all for now. I hope you all enjoy your day and remember with God you can do all things!!!!

Until next time.......Trisha

I will be posting this at these lovely parties:

Flaunt it Friday 191

It's a  beautiful day in the suburbs of Philadelphia!!  Sun is shining, humidity is low - windows open - I got so much cleaning done today because of it!  When my house is clean and the cabinets are full I feel good - Calm, cool, and collected.   I love back to school time - I actually did food shopping and could contain my thoughts and stick to my list!  That only seems to happen from September thru June.

Well, as I was saying yesterday, since I have learned to scan the pictures from yesteryear, I will begin to show anyone who is interested some of the things I have done in the past - Looking at these makes me want to start painting this way all over again - I like the personal touch that these things have.  Since yesterday I showed the youth chair, today I will show another of the chairs that I have painted:

• Until next time!               :)    Trisha

This was painted long before chippy was stylish - So I'm sure that the lady I painted it for is now pleased that I didn't repaint the entire piece before painting on the picture!!  The pattern for this was from a Jamie Mills-Price decorative painting book.


Sorry for the weird layout!  Still haven't figured that out.  I still find navigating my way around to be somewhat stressful - I still don't know how to post a link-back - I guess with patience and utts

Hey everyone!!  Today was the first day of school for our kiddies - They are not kiddies anymore - our youngest is in 8th grade !! Where does the time go?  

Yesterday, I got a lesson in scanning photographs onto the computer - unfortunately they scan at the pictures original size - so I cannot write in the big white squares surrounding the pictures.

When I first learned how to decorative paint, I was pregnant with #4 - during nap time (when I wasn't sleeping myself) I painted -   My mom gave me this antique youth chair - it was brown - not stained brown - painted brown - I gave it an overhaul with the help of Maxine Thomas' decorative painting books and here it is - It is now 17 years old in our house and the arm is broken and nailed back together and sits in the attic awaiting our first grandchild!!  (Not in the too near future, I hope!!)

If everyone doesn't mind the quality of the pictures I will show more in upcoming posts - Until then.....

Thanks for viewing this!
