Our old/new bookcase/vanity

We have been looking for something to house our cable box and found the perfect desk/bookcase on Craigslist for $30. Sold. Bonus is I have been dreaming of having a vanity in our room and this guy fit the bill.

A can of Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Old White (purchased at Metheny Weir), some Hygge and West wallpaper and some oil rubbed bronze spray paint for the hardware and I was done. I also re-finished two x benches to be pulled over when using the vanity with some new fabric, gold paint and again…Annie Sloan paint.

Pixel Painting

I was loving the idea of pixel paintings and decided to take a stab at it. Honestly the hardest part was figuring out what image to do. We ended on a lotus flower…calming, pretty and would add some color. I found an image and pixelated it in photoshop. Then I printed it full scale (30″ x 40″) which helped not only verify the size for the space but was super helpful when painting. If your going to make one of these, I would definitely suggest buying one of these for the paint, especially if you are going to start and stop a bunch like I did. It’s amazing, the paint stays wet for days.

Definitely helps add some color into our gray family room. I must say I love how it turned out! Now I get to add some pops of coral to the rest of the room…fun!

Towel Pillows

I have always loved this bath towel from Anthropologie and decided it would be the perfect addition to our very lonely couch. I used some soft solid fabric on the back in order to extend the towel into more pillows. Overall, a very simple/fun project.
