Dare I???....I Dared :)


I have to confess that even as I hit the "publish" button
on my last post, I had already made up my mind to paint this beauty.
I had some people telling me to jump right in,
some with opinions of how to paint it,
and some that I could head audibly gasping from
wherever they were at the thought.




Never stops me though....


She's ready to live her new life.


I am very surprised that the suggestions were right on
with the direction I went with the piece....
what is it they say about great minds?

Thanks for stopping by today,
You know I love it when you come.

This week I am joining
Vintage Inspiration Friday
Feather Your Nest Friday
Popourri Friday
At the Picket Fence
and
Furniture Feature Friday.

    Very pretty, great color choice. Do you have a before pic? I'm in that same dilemma right now, have a beautiful vanity that I'm struggling with the idea of painting.

    Hi Jana,
    It's always great to run across another Texas girl! I dug a bit and figured your shop is in Arlington? I'll have to look you up next time I am down that way. New follower,
