Chippy candleholders~
My one regret you ask?
I have been painting some items this week
including this piece of an old shutter that I have had
for several years. I never thought I would ever regret
painting something white, but yep here I am.
living with regret.

I don't know if you remember it from long ago posts,
but this was a beautiful deep aqua with white paint
splatters. I kept putting off painting it because I just
wasn't
sure and then one day I took the plunge.
*sniff sniff*
I do like it white, but it doesn't compare to what it
looked like before...the wonderful patina all gone now.
I am thinking of throwing it outside in the rain
and see what that does.
Seriously.

I also had hubby cut an old door in half for me
and hinge it in the middle with old painty,
peely, creamy hinges. I need to do some work
on it yet and put the white porcelain doorknobs
back on, but I love it. Intend to take it to my
booth for a prop, but haven't accomplished that
yet...one of these days.
Wayyy in the back of this photo do you see that
metal cabinet with pink flowers on it?
I know ...barely.
I bought that beauty at the goodwill. Never seen
anything like it before. I will show it better later.
The bottom door tips out into a clothes hamper.
So cool!!
That is intended for my booth as well if I manage
to actually get it there. lol.
Hopefully next Wednesday I will have my camera
back and be taking new photos again to share
with you.
Run on over to
Faded Charm for more beautiful
White Wednesday posts and be sure and tell
Kathleen that I said hello. :)
Blessings~

...oohhhh!!
Lovin' the cut in half vintage door!!!
sorry about your beloved speckled shutter, perhaps putting it out for a spell, would weather the top coat??
and yes, there were MILES of ruffles!!
good thing I have a ruffler:)

Everything is lovely, I love the door cut in two...great idea! I've had white paint regret on a couple of things also, I felt like I ruined their original beauty. You could always put it outside and let nature do its work!
Isn't it terrible when you have painters regret?? I hate when that happens!! Love everything....the door is great!!!
Love the shutter and the door cut in half! What if you took the sander to the shutter and exposed some of the under color around the edges? Thanks for sharing!
Love your blog, became a follower. Have a fantastic day!

old buttons and ironstone. One of my favorite combinations. ~~Sherry~~
Hi girlfriend!
Love, love, love, love the split door! Great idea...I'm borrowing it!
Happy WW!!
Sandi: I just read on a blog (can't remember which one) that Easy Off oven cleaner removed the layers and layers of paint. Maybe you can gingerly apply it so just the white paint comes off. If it works, let us know!

Oh Sandi- I simply love these "white" photos- they are all gorgeous. My favorite- the jewelry in the ironstone dish. And- I love the door that you altered and hinged!
As always you are full of inspiration- your blog is an unbelievable place to visit~~
