I Lived With It Long Enough

I lived with it long enough and wanted a change. After having a little conversation with myself should or should I not paint it, that little voice inside me said oh go ahead and paint it, and here is what a little white liming wax paint finish and the charm of an aging technique did for this piece. "I never plan for a particular patina I just live with it forever how long, and paint it when it feels right."

It's still waiting for a finishing touch to its finish but at this point with what look it has taken on I am liking it so far.

A little distressing adds to the effect that this piece has been around awhile, complementing the rooms love for all things rustic French flea market style.

  Another of one of my latest pieces I design and build from scraps left over from my larger pieces is this step stool. It will rest right here where it can inspire the space with farmers market milking stool charm.

  Aging the cabinet door pulls were a must, it added that less than perfect and cared for appeal.

 I love that it speaks to me now with a French accent, adding the right kind of rustic that clearly proves change is good.

This is the first stool I have added to my decor and I wish I had done it sooner. Inspiring a piece you have lived with long enough, and a farmhouse stool.
