And I like it.
But I sorta feel like I chickened out by only painting the inside yellow.
It matches this Goodwill Coffee Table I did, but I think I just played it too safe.
Here's what it looked like before -- gross with a side of dir-tay and a buffet of cobwebs.
Scrubbed it clean, gave it a fresh coat of white paint on the outside and four coats of Behr Twenty Carat on the inside.
Not exactly a drastic before/after picture, but Chickens don't do drastic things.
Hardware stayed the same. I thought about painting it yellow, but again, I'm a big fat chicken.
Off to lay some eggs...

Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gretch!
DeleteI really like it just as you painted it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I"m starting to think that it was the right decision on that piece. But I really want to get out of my comfort zone and paint something bright!
DeleteI think it looks great with just the inside painted...probably better than I would like it all painted yellow. It's perfect- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks NanaDiana!
DeleteKatie- this turned out gorgeous! I love the little pop of yellow and don't think you chickened out at all. I think it matches your coffee table perfectly! Great job!

SO EXCITING! Thanks Julia. The other projects you featured were awesome, I LOVED Goodwill Glam's red motel chairs!
DeleteI love love LOVE this! My husband is totally color-phobic (his entire house was decorated in beige and tan when we met - I've gradually introduced a few muted blues and greens). We are getting ready for a remodel and I've been stressing about suggesting some color and this will be a great compromise!
ReplyDeleteI found you on Show Me What Ya Got. I'd love it if you'd visit me too at http://ReadMyChickenScratch.com
Hi Becky! Our house used to be beige and boring too! Slowly but surely I'm breathing LOTS of color into it! And by the time I'm done, I'm sure beige will be back in :P
DeleteLove it!! So cute! The yellow painted inside just totally makes it! And that coffee table is fab too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna! I LOVE the recent side table that you did with the wrapping paper. I am so inspired to do something similar!
DeleteOMGosh love this post, this really caught my eye….I wanted to invite you to share this at my linky party going on now. Add as many projects as you like. Hope to see you there…
