A little plaster paint project. Plus a big thank you for two very special bloggers that are the sweetest.

I have to tell you it is so exciting when you win something in blog land.  Recently I was picked a winner of plaster paint on Judy's fun blog 20 North Ora you can see it here 20 North Ora.  I was excited to get this paint and try it out on a few projects.  I have never used the plaster paint before.  I have to tell you it was pretty easy to use and I was thrilled with my two projects I finished with this paint.
I also won on Melanie's blog Sweet Melanie beautiful pillow and runner and hand towels that I am using in my new lake guest room.
You can see Melanie's blog here

Cutest blue and ivory pillow.


Along with the cute pillow came the beautiful patch work runner and three cute cute cute hand towels.

Melanie is so talented and the sweetest if you have not visited her blog please pop over and check it out.  Her home is amazing and her decor so pretty.

Here are some pictures of the paint and my projects I did with my win at Judy's blog.


The paints came in some fun colors I used the Ocean Breeze blue and then I mixed the toasted marshmallow with the french ivory to make the color for my second project. Judy sent me the cute heart painted in the red with the cute embellishments. 

The paint goes on nicely in one coat.  Dries quickly and then waxing and it is a finished project.

Project number #1. I had this old vintage cream colored stool and I used the french blue on this piece for my new lake guest room.

Project number #2 was my make up vanity from my bathroom.  It was white hard to tell in this picture but it was pure white and needed a new face lift. So I mixed the toasted marshmallow with the creamy french ivory and got a pretty cream color for the vanity.

Before

After. I painted it and then just took a wet sponge after the paint  was dry and ran it over the spots I wanted the cream to come through.  Then I waxed it and let it sit over night.  This project from start to finish was less than an hour.

There she is in all her lake blue glory.  It added a little more pop of color to the room.

Project #2 Before

After.  I know it does not look like a color change in these pictures but it was.  It went from stark white to a creamy taupe color.

I did not want to have any color come through on this so I just waxed it.  This one I gave two coats of wax since I sit there and do my make up and hair so the top gets cleaned a lot.  The wax then would seal the vanity really good for cleaning when needed.

There she is in my master bathroom all ready to greet me in the morning.  I have to give a big thank you to Judy for sending me this lovely paint.  I am not a big furniture painter but with this paint being so easy I may have to do some more projects.  Thanks Judy and Melanie you are the sweetest.  I love my new paint and how my projects came out and I love the beautiful pillows and runner and towels. It felt like Christmas to win from both of these talented bloggers. I really appreciate both of you and the lovely treasures I won. Thank you and big hugs to both of you.
Have a great week.
Kris

    1. Hi Debra,
      I love that paint. It was really easy to use and dries quickly. I love the antique finish it gave to the vanity. It is hard to see in pictures with the color being light but it did give it a little antique finish. That was a super win for me. Now I have to figure out some more projects to do with this paint. Hope you are having a great week.

    1. Hi Melanie,
      I love the pillow in my guest room and I have the little towel in a basket in the room for my guests. It was the perfect blue too for the room. Thanks so much for this sweet gift. Love it.

    3. Hi Melanie,
      They look great in there. I have a lot of lighter blue but I don't like things matchy matchy so I love the pillow on the bed. I put the little towels in a basket with some soaps and shampoos etc. for guests when they come to stay so the towels look so cute hanging over the edge of the basket. Thanks so much I love them all.

  14. Don't you love winning handmade pretties? The pillow, runner and towels are so pretty and sweet, as is Judy's heart. How nice to get to try the new paint, I bet you're sold on it. The stool and vanity turned out great. I'm not a big furniture painter either but I'm going to try to find some neat pieces to work on this summer. Love your master bath by the way! :)

    XO,

  15. Kris - love your projects you did in such a short time! Go girl! That paint is so easy to use that I just keep looking around the house to find something else to paint. You can do a project and clean up so fast.

    Your other win was fantastic. Love it!

  17. Congrats on your wins! I've never heard of plaster paint before. I'm assuming it's similar to chalk paint. Your furniture pieces look great in their new colors. I really love the textiles you won from Melanie too! How cute are those? I particularly like the pillow.

  18. Give you a little and you get a mile of projects completed! What fun changes. Those little houses are adorable, and I love that you turned them to different sides to paint the letters. It gives them a spark of added character.
