Before and after time again!
About three moves ago I had a white pedestal that I really liked a lot. In that place I only had one window and the pedestal gave me the additional flower space that I wanted. Now I don’t have that pedestal anymore, because I couldn’t take it with me at the time.
I’ve been looking for a another one since I last moved. I found a good sized one at a local flea market. You can see that it has potential at once.
The flower pedestal was unpainted wood when I bought it. So I sanded the varnish down a bit, and then took it out on the lawn to spray paint it.
I had bought both white and pink spray paint, and hesitated between the two… pink furniture really belongs in a nursery you might think. But think again! I sprayed the whole thing pink, very pink!
Look, isn’t it pretty:
With all those bars and edges I did not want to paint it with a regular paint brush. With the spray paint it was super easy to cover the whole thing quickly (even though my fingers became numb for a few days afterwards). The spray can ran out of paint way too quick. I could’ve given it the second coat of paint that it needed… I might if I ever get the same colour of paint. But for now, I’m happy with it and it makes me smile, just like my pink twinkling lights in the window.
The other day it hit me that I’m actually recreating my girlhood dream room. I had that pink room as a teen, and I totally loved it. Maybe that is what my apartment will look like when I’m finished? Hopefully with a more mature touch but right now… I’m not sure it will. And who cares, as long as everything in here makes me happy?
I hope your surroundings makes you as happy as mine does. And if not, maybe it’s time to bring out the spray paint!?
For more inspiration see my other furniture with a new coat of paint; table, stool and needle holder
perfect little plant stand. it really turned out nice. i too had a pink room as a teenager, everything pink, even painted the furniture. loved it at the time, i still like pink but in moderation.
Hi Hanna…I love the pink stand…great color choice! I makes the green leaves in the plant really pop!
That’s a great shade of pink! (the candle too!)
sorry, but i liked it better before you put pink all over it : (
Pink, pink, pink – it always look great!
You sure are surrounding yourself with some super-fun colors!
Turquoise and pink! I am in heaven. Can I please come over!
LOVE the pink plant stand. The shade of pink really does make me smile! And so beautiful with the green plants spilling over it.
I am so happy you are enjoying your new space so much.
Oh, I love this added color in your scheme! It’s a great pink,not baby pink at all!
I want MY OWN PLACE now!!!!!
oh what a little spray paint won’t do! LOVE both colors!
