Perfect Painted Pieces

I've been painting again with Maison Blanch Vanille. This is the brass wall piece I found here, all painted and waxed now. I like how the wax brings out the detail on the plate.

It coordinates nicely with the cabinets in my kitchen.

A few weeks after I painted the piece above, I found this piece for $2.50 and painted and waxed it too.

I was intrigued when I saw this container in a shop in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I liked how they tied ribbons to one end of the piece.

During that same trip, I found this piece at a Goodwill store for $2

and finished if off like this.

I'm such a copycat.

I saw these ABC/123 Baby Building Blocks while shopping out in California and thought, people paint anything and everything!

Shortly after that I found some locally and painted them too!

I found this small wooden dress form at that same Goodwill store in Charlotte

and painted it for my creative space.

I saw this stenciled chair while out shopping locally

and I painted this child size one that was given to me for free at a garage sale. I'm not sure if I want to put a stencil on it...still deciding.

I saw this idea on Pinterest a while back. People were painting Nativity sets that they found at a Goodwill store. I found a few pieces in my town at a Goodwill store and 

painted them Vanille.

And finally, one of the treats Ashleigh gave me for Mother's Day was this adorable stencil/kitchen towels kit. Since it was a new skill for me, I was a little hesitant to try it. One evening I sat down and found it to be a really relaxing and enjoyable project that had great results! The kit came from Darby Smart. The kind of paint used was Speedball black fabric/paper paint.

A friend suggested that I paint the stencil on this chair seat too. Great idea!

I have one more painted project to show you (in another color!) and then I'm putting the paint and brushes away and moving onto other kinds of crafting. Have you done any painting lately?
