The Bluebird of Happiness... aka CeCe Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise

When the sun starts warming us up a bit more like it has the past few days, I get the itch for Spring.  And there is no better way to welcome Spring than with some fresh, new to you, or freshened up pieces that you already, have done in CeCe Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise.  It is just uber-fresh and happy making!  This set is done with a reclaimed Lane drum table and oval mirror.  It transforms traditional to a new kind of zestiness!

The 'Jill' Console Table

This table is a rustic pine, previously unfinished that has had a makeover in CeCe Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise and sealed with Satin Finish.  It is so fresh!  Glass knobs add elegance and sweetness... I love bringing elements together like this.

We might have to change his name to 'Spot'

This is Oscar, sporting a spot of CeCe Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise on his tail... just maybe somebody wagged on a piece I was working on???

That's 5lbs of love that just wants to be at my feet all the time (he's a Mama's boy:). 

Today he did his best to do some faux painting on a desk I am working on in Smoky Mountain Gray.  Now I think that would clash... he already looks like he has been dipped in Vermont Slate, and the Santa Fe gives a nice little contrast, but adding a third color into the mix would just be "too  much fashion" as our oldest daughter used to say when she was a wee peanut.

I guess I just need to admit it!

Apparently I am 'one of those women' who are always in love.  Don't tell my husband!  What can I do when my affections are captured?  I am helpless to resist!
Last week, I was deeply, and I felt abidingly, in love with CeCe Caldwell's Vermont Slate while I was painting 'Jane', a lovely old family buffet that was entrusted to me for a makeover.

I love Vermont Slate, I do.  But today, well, I only got paint on one surface of this rustic Pine console table... and what is a girl to do?  I am in love again... this time with Santa Fe Turquoise.  I fell fast and hard.  I guess it can't be helped!

Sighhhhhh....

Console Table in Sante Fe Turquoise

 Just finished this up for Ashley.  The color is just the thing to perk up this snowy Spring day!

I painted the brass hardware with the Turquoise and Charcoal, which gives a look of aged copper:)
