Here it is!
Ta-da!
I decided not to add the pink. It was just too labor intensive that I didn't think it would be worth it.
{Plus I didn't really have the time. My parents are in town from the Philippines}
I know some of the participants used fabric medium, I didn't.
The latex paint is a tad crunchy but it doesn't really bother me. The roughness is way, way less than a jute or sisal. {I guess it also depends on what rug you use. I think mine is a low loop pile rug}
Here's a peak of the campaign desk and shelves. I haven't really styled it yet. I spray painted the back of the shelves gold.
And oh, the Warsa fuchsia linen was delivered yesterday...
{That's my next project - reupholster the bergere chair minus the tufting}
And I'm done painting the island, I just have to add another coat of white paint to the doors and the rest of the cabinets.
{I hate taking pictures in the basement, no natural light to work with!}
Thanks Linda for organizing this Party! This was fun!!! I think the next party should be a REAL party with drinks! (Who's in?)
