Remember these little fellas?
I decided to go the aqua-ish light blue route with a hint of white. Instead of buffing in the white, I just took white spray paint and lightly sprayed over it. I didn't distress at all. I may decide to in the future. I'm thinking about adding prisms, but I'm not sure yet. As for right now, this project is complete!
My next project consisted of an old antique stool that belonged to my deceased grandmother. My younger sister snagged it (before I could!) and asked me to help her refinish it so she could take it up to her college apartment. Her bedspread is a pretty satin pink with rhinestones so we wanted it to somewhat coordinate.

The best part about these projects? Neither of them took longer than 60 minutes total, and that includes the drying of paint! Now those are the kind of projects I like!!

Love the aqua candlesticks, I am moving into a new home and thinking about some aqua and beige in one of my new bathrooms, thanks for the inspiration!
Your sister will be soooo popular at college with that adorable foot stool.
Thanks for sharing and lets try to meet next month for La Maison Rustique!!

Love the stool! It came out great!
They turned out beautiful. I wish I could do a project or two in little bit of time. I'm afraid it would take me two days. But you've inspired me!

Both are gorgeous. I especially love the stoll with the toile fabric. Too cute.
BIG DIFFERENCE! They look great! Nice job!
I love how these turned out, especially the stool! Wow! I love white painted furniture, and I really love that toile fabric! I saw some just like it at Joanne Fabric. Great job!

Love both projects. I LOVE how quickly we can repurpose things. I tend to put a coat on things. Run an errand, come home, do another coat.
I particularly love that stool. Did you spray it too?
I have a boring bench, but have been wanting to paint it for awhile.
great makeovers! love the color of the candle sticks.

The Shabby Addict parcel has been received at My Petite Maison. You know me, half the fun of it is looking at the beautiful wrapping and knowing it's there for me to open. I promise I'll unwrap everything tomorrow. Your packaging is so cute!
Merci!

Love your projects! Fast too, I bet your sisters new room will be FAB with your help!
What a wonderful job you did, love the fabric! Careful now you might become one of us spray paint junkies,LOL isn't it amazing how fun it is to completely change something and make it come alive! Great job! XO Diana L.
You did some really great projects. Love the candlesticks.
60 minutes each? As in one hour each? To make these gorgeous pieces out of what others consider "trash"!?! You are a.m.a.z.i.n.g.!!!!
Oh that is simply LOVELY!!

Oh my goodness, they all turned out great. Love the candlesticks that color, and then the little bench is beautiful! Wow, great job.

Your stool makeover is gorgeous!
Wow I love the stool. Isn't it great to get a good deal and be able to fix it up just the way you want it...love it.
Now I have to ask you what kind of paint and colour did you use to paint the stool?
Thank you for sharing great inspirations.
