Those Little Things

I finally got around to doing some of those little things that I’ve been putting off for awhile.  I painted the legs of the little footstool in our living room black from the grey I had them previously.  Not sure why I went with grey to begin with, but it may have been because I had it on hand.  Here it is with the grey legs {old picture from our old house}.

And after with the black.

The mirror I had done in our master bedroom last year was on my mind all the time.  When I painted it Duck Egg I had touched on the details with Antique Gold Rub n Buff, but then the wax I did on top took some of the gold off.  I finally got out the Rub n Buff again and went over those details again, so now I can see the gold better.

I found these two little busts at a garage sale a few weeks ago.  Originally I was going to put them in my booth, but since I’ve admired busts on other blogs I thought I’d see how they’d work in my living room. 

For now I am enjoying them on our fireplace mantel, sitting on pillar candleholders.

I am glad to finally check off those little projects that just kept getting put off.  And then I wonder why it took me so long!
