I recently read “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert, and it was a fantastic read! It reaffirmed my desire for creative living and encouraged me to keep trying new things that spark my curiosity. I’m so glad I read it around the same time I found these vintage French Provincial bedside tables because my first attempt at transforming them didn’t turn out as I hoped—failed miserably, in fact. So it was a ‘go big or go home’ moment, and I decided to brave blending again. Here’s the thing about paint blending, though—it is NOT for the faint of heart, but the results can be spectacular if you’re patient and don’t overthink it. Wipe away your fear, sand in between coats, and just go for it— and if it doesn’t turn out like you hoped— it’s only paint, folks!

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:
