And here is the after:
Amazing what a little paint and stain can do right?!
I was a little nervous about the color at first. When I put the first coat on, it was bright. Like Island Blue bright. Not what I was going for. I was tempted to run to the store that night and get another color. I had the keys in my hand. Fortunately, I reasoned with myself that after antiquing it with glaze it would be the deeper turquoise I was going for. Please Please Please, turn out the way I want you to.
Amazingly it did. Whew. I felt lucky. There are a million shade of paint colors at the store and I totally thought I'd picked the wrong one.
I also decided it needed some feet. I didn't like it sitting on the ground.
What do you think? Don't you just love the detail on the doors?!
