Painting a two tone chest

Some of my best decisions ( with furniture anyways) are the one’s where there is little to no thought. No rhyme or reason. 

The one’s that just sorta happen…..on a whim.

The one’s where you are cleaning the house getting ready for out of town guests to show up in a few hours, and all of a sudden you decide to shut the vacuum off and pull out some grey paint and a paint brush. Seriously…am I the only one who does that?

The one’s that think maybe it’s needs a bit more something……
A bit more then what the piece started like when you first bought it years ago.
And a bit more then when you painted it a few months ago.
This something. Something that adds beauty and interest and is a great compliment to the room. 
Something that just looks pretty, as I turn the vacuum back on and continue to clean the house. 

Oh how I wish every decision looked this good. Have you made any “cleaning detours”  lately?

  2. Haha I always get detoured from cleaning to craft or paint! I totally understand, and truly believe your detour was so worth it! The dresser looks fabulous!

  4. While many learned professors have abandoned hope of ever discovering the truth behind Two Tone, I for one feel that it is still a worthy cause for examination. At first glance Two Tone may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. Remarkably Two Tone is heralded by shopkeepers and investment bankers alike, leading many to state that it is important to remember that ‘what goes up must come down.
