We are into full-blown spring on my street here in Charlotte.\u00a0 The daffodils are in full bloom, and the trees are showing their colors, too.\u00a0 February just flew by, and we are ready to embrace spring!!!\u00a0 We thought you might have some paint projects on your lists as part of your own spring fix-ups so we are bringing back this popular post from last March.\u00a0 Enjoy the revisit.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0*****<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t you feel so much better when you buy a new shade of lipstick or add a colorful scarf to an old outfit?\u00a0 Small changes like that put a little extra spring in my step for sure.\u00a0 We had a night stand from our condo in Toronto that we’ve been using in our guest room. \u00a0Plus, I was tired of looking at it. \u00a0\u00a0The wood was on the yellowish side, and its floral decals were dated.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Giving the night stand a new look has been on my to-do list for quite a while, but I kept moving it to the bottom of the list.\u00a0 Finally, I picked a color,\u00a0 Napoleonic Blue by Annie Sloan, and painted it.\u00a0 What an instant improvement?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4140\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I added some character by sanding off some of the paint in a few areas.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0I’ve used this color before and really like it.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This time around, though, I applied a coat of\u00a0 Briwax liming wax<\/a> which enhanced the distressed areas and added more character.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Napoleonic<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now the neutral colored guest room has another pop of color that will make it more inviting when our friends and family spend the night.\u00a0 Have you painted any furniture lately?<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
