Pour Moi { for me }

As I am always completing projects for others, it actually feels odd to be working on one for myself. The hard part comes when I am not handed a "list" of what the client wants. Usually my client says, "I want it red, with brown stripes, butterflies flying, with the word Joanna in the middle, very girly," or something to that effect. Some are DETAILED and some are just DO WHATEVER you want, but oh, but here is what I like...
So when I got a creative wave a few weeks ago, it was hard to get started as I needed to decide what did I want? WEIRD, but it was a fun challenge.
I decided to paint the white step stool in the kids bathroom. Here is the rundown of the project.
STEP 1- Sand and double coat, I mixed a turquoise green.
STEP 2- Adding bubbles, red trim and a box
STEP 3- double coat everything, add a scripture, feet print and old faucet tops
STEP 4- Splatter with black, distress the edges and add a top coat
UPCLOSE DETAILS
The Wash & Dry between the Hot and Cold old faucets
Bubbles above the little bird on a tree
Baby feet print. You make these with the side of your hand and use your fingerprints for the toes. If you have not done with with your kiddos, its always a hit. Avi Joy steps up on them when getting to the counter, cute.
Add scripture. I chose, "'Heave is My throne & the earth is My footstool, what kind of house will you build for Me?' Says the Lord." Acts 7:49
View of the side. I was pleased with the color, splatter and distressed combo.
Complete and now in the bathroom. Avi Joy is brushing her teeth on her new stool!
Painting pour moi,
