Instead of doing the usual white to this thrifted cutie, I decided to add a few beachy blue stripes.
After painting the base white, I mixed some leftover gray & turquoise paint from previous projects to get the perfect blue/gray color. I simply taped off large stripes, painted, then sanded when dry.
It looks kind of summery, which is good because it is finally starting to feel like summer around here, and I like it.
SO pretty!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery beachy! I love it.
