Have you met Duck Egg Blue?

Hello friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I had a great "break" from blogging and sincerely enjoyed a weekend away with my husband.  We got to spend some time with friends and enjoy some time just the two of us.  It was wonderful in every way!  

Before I had left I finished this re-finish but just never got around to sharing it...

Just another up-cycle...but I love it, it makes me happy, and maybe you will fall in love with duck egg blue (the chalk paint color I played with this time) like I have.

Started out with another dark wood piece of furniture that I had.

I just don't love dark wood anymore. 

Soooo it was on my list to get painted.

Much better right? 

I love the little pop of color it adds to the room now.

Everything about it makes me happy.

And if there is one piece of advice I want to give you today it is this---

if you re-finish furniture or are thinking about it,

embrace the imperfections of the piece.

I swear when you embrace them and don't try to work against them they become even better.

I LOVE the odd wood grain on the top of this guy---it just makes it more unique.

What have you been up to?  What do you think about my new blog look...I think I am finally getting closer to the "right" fit. 

:o)

And on a side note~

Thank you all for being so wonderful-your friendships are truly the reason I blog.

I am linking up at a few of these amazing parties!
