Hey guys, I realize Rie and I have both been MIA lately. I actually went into hiding, myself. I know you can't do both. Either way, there's been some sort of war going on. OK, I really did go into hiding. It happened when Anne Marie posted this:
You know I love cerulean. I got carried away and painted the inside of this vintage glass lamp, too:
Here's a small picture of it before, and I agree it looks cool in the before, too.
I think it looks lovely in my whitish room. AND if you were wondering the progress of this room, I will let you in on it for another day. But just know this. I trashed my Phoenix coffee table. You know, THE coffee table. I guess I was just trying too hard, so I started fresh with a beautifully shaped new piece and simply painted it a chippy white and was done with it. Yikes. Never take furniture too seriously. That's the moral of the story, folks.
after I posted 87 pictures of this boring box--bad camera and everything (stomach twist). And right then and there, I decided to secretly go into hiding. I felt like a hack.
I posted several boring pieces, each one seeming to get wierder and worse, finally ending with the rectangle, above. But on Miss Funky Junk's recommendation, I pushed up my sleeves, and got the rectangle a new paint job and hardware. I love Miss F.J.'s blog help articles. They are very down-to-earth and well, SMART. Like her.
A bit of a peek.

Chin up!!! Don't go into hiding!! Your work is YOUR work and no one elses. Not everything that Michaelangelo did was perfect either. I had a dud today and have decided to leave it alone for a few days before figuring out why I hate it so much! :) Glad you are back.
