If you have been around my blog long you know I don't like doing the same thing. It gets harder coming up with something different though. I knew I wanted to paint it black but that is sooooo boring. It sat painted black for a while.
Then my sister gave me an idea to paint the back in french script.
I chose "How Do I Love Thee" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning because well...it is my favorite!!
I painted the inside white so the writing stood out great.Almost too great. It needed toning down so I dry brushed over it.
It stayed in the store for literally 2 days when someone answered my craigslist ad and bought it!
The customer sent me a picture.
She change it up a bit and I love it. She tea stained it and painted the shelves black.
Thanks Mellisa!!!
I love when customers send me a picture!
