Very pretty.

I have glass paint here, to do some tiles for a backsplash in the bathroom....if I ever remember to buy the tiles

That came out very nicely Christy. You have a good eye for color and painted it nicely all around.

Ooo that's pretty!!!! Very colorful!

I'm working on a big painting project now! I'll upload as soon as I'm finished with it!

very nice job, Christy !!

Remember this?



Well I got bitten by the painting bug...after months of looking at it I couldn't bare to leave it plain any longer.

I still have a little detail work to finish up but it's pretty close to being done.

You did tackle a big painting project there!!
Very nice job, Loz!!

WOW! i like it!!

I'm glad you both like it! I've been working on it off and on for weeks now....I'm sort of a perfectionist....although like I said I do need to do a few small touch ups.

loz--you really did a great job !!! is that you & mark???

Very nice, now you can see the frog and bunny. I like how you even painted up her toes, very cute.

Good eye Tamara....I gave her a pale pink pedicure.

Carol--Athena says it's me and Mark. I figured I'd go with it so I agreed and said yep, that's me and Mark.

Wow! That is great Loz! Very nice job!!

Thanks, I have a few more projects I'm working on right now too! When they are done I'll upload!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW Good Job Loz!!!!!!!!!! I like doing things like that too,,, really Good Job!!!!!!!! One question tho,, Where DID you find a lookalike statue of you and Mark>> I agree with Athena!!!

BTW I do remember when you got it!!,, :wink:

Thanks Di--Painting like that is so therepeutic to me.....it relaxes me. Mom got a statue too. A boy and girl on a log...and now she's saying that she wants me to paint it too.

I figured I couldn't mess up too much, the statue was only $14.99 on sale.

I almost bought a gnome riding on a turtle's back a while back it was just plain grey resin,, I was thinking IF I get that I could paint it,, It was huge too,, it was 21"high and very detailed,, I regret not getting it now It would have been a great winter project

does anyone know what color funrniture would go good in a room with really really blue walls? lol it loooked so much better on the chip.... i was thinking black furniture?? or a dark dark brown.... im redoing y room alreayd got it painted the paint color is called flyway from sheriwin williams u can see the color on their website if you type it in but.. just wanted to know thoughts about the furniture...

You could go with any color that you would like with blue. Yellow is the complimentary color for blue. You can go with golden colored wood. White looks crisp with blue. Are you talking about painting wooden furniture? Or upholstering stuff? Or just throwing a few pillows around?

im going to paint my existing funiture and build a canpopy with a like sage silk fabric with it and blue sheets on the bed but have like mettal accents onn the furniture im trying to go with a tropic feel but with touches of modern and formal

i cant do white, alot of white colors look like blue to me, some of them i cant tell the differnce this blue i thought was lighter and not as popping but that what i get....

Toposh, I'd go with a brown. Blue and brown look great together. Works for Tiffany....

I agree with Tamara,, Chocolate Brown looks good with Blue!

ok thanks yall i found a really nice brown color its called french roast, ill take pictures when everything is done. I cant do the canopy theres not enouught room the ceiling fan is in the way.... i have to wait till this weekend to do the furniture because I have to move it all to the garage, and sand it all and fill in some knicks in it...

sounds like you are going to have fun! good luck and we are waiting for the pics.
