This is what it looked like after I spray painted it with primer………
About half way done………. This is what it looked like before I started (sorry I forgot to take a before pic of the whole thing) The very cool drawer (this pic makes it look like it is blue but it is turquoise) And VOILA!! The finished piece! I love how it turned out. I brush painted it the turquoise color and then I spray painted the knobs silver! I needed a large bookcase that could hold all of our books, stereo and dvd’s. There are a ton of books on it so it looks kind of mish moshy (my word for messy) but I still love it! It was a great find and I had fun painting it! So this proves you can take anything and make it beautiful!
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
