Painting a two tone chest
Some of my best decisions ( with furniture anyways) are the one’s where there is little to no thought. No rhyme or reason.
The one’s that just sorta happen…..on a whim.
The one’s where you are cleaning the house getting ready for out of town guests to show up in a few hours, and all of a sudden you decide to shut the vacuum off and pull out some grey paint and a paint brush. Seriously…am I the only one who does that?
The one’s that think maybe it’s needs a bit more something……
A bit more then what the piece started like when you first bought it years ago.
And a bit more then when you painted it a few months ago.
This something. Something that adds beauty and interest and is a great compliment to the room.
Something that just looks pretty, as I turn the vacuum back on and continue to clean the house.
Oh how I wish every decision looked this good. Have you made any “cleaning detours” lately?

Gorgeous! And yes, two weekends ago I started to clean the glass on my front door and ended up painting it – inside and out. I understand completely.
Gosh I detour all the time. Looks great!
I have definitely had a focus issue lately…and your diversion is stunning!!!
Lovely! You did a great job, it was ok taking a break from cleaning!

That's an amazing transformation. TY a bunch for the inspiration coz I am doing one of an old Finnish chest I have for neary 25 yrs. I guess time for a lil pimping.

My days are loaded with detours. I love the quick change you gave this piece. It added a lot.
Beautiful. The new color pulls out the details of your beautiful chest. Smart move … and painting is more fun than vacuuming anyway. 🙂
Haha, I haven't done this but I could totally see myself doing it… with my husband in the background rolling his eyes! Thanks for sharing! Stop by my Friday's Five Features and link up this post (and others)! http://diy-vintage-chic.blogspot.com

While many learned professors have abandoned hope of ever discovering the truth behind Two Tone, I for one feel that it is still a worthy cause for examination. At first glance Two Tone may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. Remarkably Two Tone is heralded by shopkeepers and investment bankers alike, leading many to state that it is important to remember that ‘what goes up must come down.
Nice post, I like your home it is really very Clean and well arranged, thanks for sharing our good idea.
