{ guest blogger: Suzanne from S.HOPtalk }
Hello lovely Knack readers. My name is Suzanne and I am so honored and thrilled to be here today. I have a blog, S.HOPtalk, where I love to share my favorite finds and inspirations.
It was serendipity that Barb invited me to hang out here today because I've had a project brewing the last couple of weeks and it all started with Barb and her recent guest post in which she featured her amazing Turquish Delight before and after project. I simply haven't been able to get that incredible turquoise color out of my head since. I was able to pacify myself {temporarily} by creating my own Turquish Delight inspiration board...
Then, last week, I decided to go for it. If I couldn't have one of Barb's pieces for my very own {due to an annoying inconvenience of a few thousand miles}, I would have to follow in her footsteps and tackle my own before and after project. I selected a piece deserving of a makeover...the red bench on my front porch.
Before
During
I painted two coats of turquoise directly over the red
Almost done...but it needed a little roughing up
Some sanding and a quick hit of stain...much better.
After
Ta-Da! Fun & fresh for Spring.
New...with bits of its past peeking through.
With a half can of paint remaining, I'm already eyeing my next project...stay tuned.
Thanks so much for having me Barb and for the endless sources of inspiration I find here. I'm so excited to see you receiving all of the attention you deserve. You'll have to forgive my site stalking...it's something I must do until I'm able to visit Knack in person. Happy, happy day everyone! ~suzanne
