We went shopping for paint for the china cupboard (previous post).
After gathering ideas from several web sites and a google search of
Painted China Cupboards, I was thinking a very pale grey color.
Before going to the color charts, my husband and I checked out the "Oops" shelf.
Imagine our thrill in finding a WHOLE gallon of Valspar paint and primer
in a perfectly suitable shade of grey
$8.00!
Gary is out in the garage mixing up some chalk paint and will apply the first coat
yet this evening.
It should be beautiful!
I'll bet it is indeed beautiful. A friend is redoing a "hutch" for the room of our Grand's expected baby. Clothes in the drawers, toys and books on the shelves. I never would have thought of that. Clever, no?

I always enjoy hearing/seeing how other people repurpose furniture. Someone who bought one of the dressers my husband finished recently sent us a picture of it - in a nursery, too...with a changing pad on top for baby. (We posted it on his blog.)
DeleteYour OOPS paint is beautiful and what a beautiful price! I can't wait to see it when your done with it.

Yes, yes, and I'm sure I'll proudly show it off here :)
DeleteCan't wait to see the final product, Rebecca. I'm SURE it'll be gorgeous. Susan
ReplyDeleteI think it will be (gorgeous), too! We're waiting to see if we want to paint the inside or leave it the current stained wood finish...
DeleteAm anxious to see the outcome! Do you have a special spot picked for this piece?
ReplyDeleteI'm tempted to keep it (instead of selling it). It would have to replace the more "countrified" cabinet I've had since the day we put it together from pieces found 40 years ago or so. We haven't decided what do to for sure....
DeleteThat is a great price for Valspar interior paint.
ReplyDeleteGreat find!!
Hugs,
Jackie
I agree, Jackie! We were thrilled and sensed the "smile" of God on us, to be sure!
DeleteSuch fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan. Hope it turns out the way you imagine it will, or better.
ReplyDeleteYou know that's something I always forget to do - in too much of a rush! I'll need to slow down & look for those bargains.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me & leaving such a sweet comment.
Have a great week!
