Bar Cart Makeover - Gray and White Stripes

Coming Soon
 
To a Patio near You...
 
ICE COLD DRINKS
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
 
So when I found this bar cart
 
 
 
at the thrift store
 
I knew it would be
a fun summer makeover.
 
 
First some Early American Stain
 
 
 
 
Then some sundrenched gray...
 
 
 
 
Dry Brush White.
 
 
 
 
Tape off stripes and add more white.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Use an angle brush to add black edges to the stripes.
 
 
 
 
 
Transfer pencil line lettering.
 
I used Pottery Barn Font at size 200.
 
Fill in with black.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
Refreshing, right?
 
Flea Markets are starting here!
 
Time to find junk treasures
 
that need a new do.
 
Happy junking, friends!

Random Paint Projects

It's a hodgepodge
 
of
 
what the paintbrush left behind.
 
 
 
 
 
 
A jumble of junk transformed
 
 
 
 
 
An Assortment of Antiques Upcycled
 
 
 
 
A potpourri of pieces painted
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's what I've been up to lately.
 
A mish mash of paint projects.
 
My hodgepodge also includes
 
these stair risers
 
that are being installed this week
 
in a new home construction.
 
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
Fun Stuff!
 
Because I know you all are creatives too,
 
you might find something in this mix
 
to get you ready for a new project.
 
Here's to busy paintbrushes,
 
Deb
