Gold

In case you are wondering, I still have not started the paint project.   I have had the hardest time finding just the right color.   Mind you, this project is on month ten of being at a standstill.  In the meantime, my BFF started house hunting, found a house, had the new house painted a nice cool gray, had her old home (which will be a rental) painted a nice warm beige and she is living happily ever after.   In the meantime, I sit here with tons of paint samples.   I did learn from her paint decision that I definitely want a warm gray versus a cool gray.   Ahhhhh.....progress.

So while I ignore my paint dilemma I divert my focus to the little table in the hallway.   I've always disliked the table because the legs are antiqued rubbed silver-ish.   Why I never thought of painting the legs is really beyond me.  This weekend it just occurred to me that I could paint the legs instead of replacing the entire thing.


 The 'before' with the old silver legs and the boxes I used to try to cover up the problem:

And the 'after' with the gold sprayed legs:

I have to say I like it.  I like it a lot.  It's not perfect but this is a dark little hall so flaws are nearly invisible.  And I know those flowers are out of season but isn't faux in season all year round?

On top of football, a trip to San Fransisco and the non-painting that is going on around here, my nephew got married last weekend!   Sweetheart and I were part of their bridal party and we had the best time!  We are both so happy for them!
