Tantalizing Turquoise French Provincial

We found this old little French Provincial vanity/desk on craigslist.

I couldn't wait to take it home and begin my therapeutic relaxation session

with paint.

It was old ... it was vintage.... it was dingy yellow and

it had a little girl's graffiti all over it.

You know what time it is???

It's Prime time!!

Turquoise is the happiest color ever!!!

We all have a color that makes us happy, right?

There are so many happy turquoise colors ,

It was hard to choose from but this made me the happiest.

I couldn't find a zebra stencil large enough so...

I made my own zebra stripe design with frog tape.

Ribbet....

I then detailed in gold metallic and purchased some black and white pulls.

You can't see from the pictures but I glazed the whole thing in a

faux effects gold metallic. I glistened in the sun.

I put the last finishing touch .... Love

I hope there is a little girl out there enjoying it, or a mom, or guy.

As long as it brings happiness.

The many faces of art

Do you have a teenager who is always bored ?????

I used to tell my daughter I was going to hire a full time clown

just to keep her entertained.

So I gave her a camera instead

It's amazing to see her perspective from the eye of a camera.
