Snowman on Shutter Gray Fence Board

It's here!

My Milk Paint has arrived.




Merry Christmas to me!

I can't decide what I'm more excited about...

my "Santa Claus Blend" coffee beans

or my Ironstone and Shutter Gray Milk Paint

Paint and Coffee beans are two of my favorite things.





I have a plan to use the shutter gray

on a sideboard that will be our tv stand.

I will post about that soon.

But I had some extra paint

and I thought it would make a great winter sky

for my snowman painting.

Love the blue gray color!





I  cut two pieces from a cedar fence board,

attached them with a thin piece of of wood and screws

on the back, and stained the entire piece.





Then I brushed on the gray,





and painted a happy snowman

peeking out behind his scarf.





Pin It!





I look forward to sharing my new/old sideboard

painted in the shutter gray.

I will show you how it turned out next week!

Hope you're all enjoying the weekend,

Deb

  22. Too cute!! I would love to try this.
    What size were your boards?
    I like the idea of milk paint.
    I as well love fresh coffee beans.
    I can understand why the excitement.
