Winston the end table in the rough

Well he is another rummage sale find. He was rough but the rougher and more battered the better I like them. He was mostly bare wood so I decided to just see how mms goes on bare wood. I've only read abt it. Another first for me was using luckets green. So far I'm in love. He may need a second coat or he may get a wash of grain sack. It started to rain so I had to put him away to dry while I think on it. 

Trudy the table

I got this cute little aqua table last weekend while scavenging. As my husband tells me it doesn't matter what it is if it's aqua I'm gonna buy it. As much as I loved the color I wanted to tone it down a bit. So I whipped up some grain sack mms with bonding agent and went to town. She awaits her distressing and waxing and buffing. It started to rain which literally rained on my painting parade.

Saved from the Scarp Yard!

Well here it is.  A very sad metal stool!  My husband was taking scrap to the metal yard and saw it and brought it home for me.  What a great guy!  Needless to say I knew all it needed was some TLC and MMSMP!  So I mixed up some Eulalie's Sky and started painting away.  
Part way through painting I remembered this little night stand and decided to paint her to join the darling stool.
I lightly distressed the nightstand and then hemp oiled.
I have been doing a lot of painting lately but this is my first post.  Hopefully there will be more to come!  I am in a rush to finish everything I want to finish in the next year because we are expecting twin baby boys in September!  
Happy Painting!

Flower blessings.

Well it has been very challenging doing any flowers this year. We have gotten so much rain and the mosquitoes are fierce. I do not do bugs.
