Today we went out looking for garage sales. We didn't find to much but we were able to get the rest of the pieces that we needed to finish a project that we are working on.
Last week we did a Mothers day giveaway for a fans on Facebook. we had people post their moms names on a post and then we did a drawing from those. once we had a winner we wanted to do a unique gift for them.
On pinterest a couple of weeks ago I found a post about taking an old drawer and painting it and add a tea pot and teacup to it to make a birdhouse and thought this would be the perfect gift for this mom.
here is what we did:
we painted the drawer with a beautiful blue color that we had on hand, which we then waxed so that when we added the second color and distress it the blue wouldn't rub off. after the paint and the wax was completely dry we added the second color which was a light green that we got a couple of weeks ago. all we did with this color was dry brush it on and then use a cloth to rub it off so that it gave it a two toned look. once we let that sit overnight we added polyurethane to it so that it could stay outside, and finally we added the teapot and the teacup to finish up the look.
I absolutely love the way that this project turned out and think the person who it will go to will love it as well.
Thanks,
Marie and Dorane
