Happy New Year! I hope your reading of this post finds you off to a good start in 2024! I’m so excited for this year— for a number of reasons. My husband and I are planning for our next chapter (which if everything aligns will involve a #simpleliving build and move), our son is advancing with Farming on our farm, our daughter is in her 3rd year of Nursing, I’m turning 50 this year 🤯, and we continue to have so many blessings. AND I have so many pieces I want to paint in 2024— including this adorable antique washstand that I picked up years ago!

Colour Comparing
On-screen colours are merely a digital representation, and will vary from screen to screen (device to device). Depending on your screen/device, the colour(s) that I share online may naturally seem slightly different in person. Lighting and surroundings dictates colours! I picture all my pieces against a white backdrop with white lighting, as I feel this portray’s the truest colour in digital form— however depending on the wall colour and lighting in your home, the colour may slightly differ. Here are some pictures to help aid with online colour consideration:
Secret Garden, Olive Martini, Neverland
Peachy Keen, Ancient Ember, Ooh La La
Before & After
Dark Olive Green Washstand
It’s a little shameful how long ago I picked up this antique washstand! I think it’s gotta be 5+ years ago! Truth be told, I tucked it away and procrastinated pulling it back out, because it had quite a bit of damage that I knew would take some extra time and effort. However when I learned that Country Chic Paint was releasing some new colours this year, I instantly knew that this piece would be perfect for 2 of the 6 colours they announced!
Selectively Salvaged and Loved by me
For YOU
Versatile, moderately-sized, charming and timeless— are just a few words that come to my mind with antique washstands. I’ve had this one tucked away for quite some time. Seems it was waiting ever-so-patiently for the most fitting colours for its’ next chapter. Country Chic Paint’s recent colour launch included what I felt were the most perfect complimentary colours for my reincarnation. Neverland— an irresistible deep olive green, and Ancient Amber— a mesmerizing burnt teracotta are hands-down 2 colour tones that I have been aching for! And here they now are, complimenting each other with charm! Bedside Table? Hallway Accent? Lavatory Cupboard? Entryway Statement? Where do YOU see this in your home this new year?
