Becolorful

A New Home For A Colorful Chest

In early 2010 I painted this piece for our own home. We needed some extra storage  and I wanted to bring a bit of the unexpected to a traditional and formal dining room.

 

 

 

 

 

It was a mix of harlequin, leopard print, stripes and florals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It only remained in our dining room for about a year.

 

 

I had procrastinated, I was running out of time before the Traveling Door sale and I needed more of my painted pieces to sell.  So I decided that I would part with this one and worry about replacing it later. 

 

The woman that purchased it nearly five years ago just recently moved away and decided that the piece wouldn't be going with her. So unbeknownst to me, my BeColorful creation moved on once more.

Last week I was quite surprised to see it again. I had gone with my mom to visit one of her friends and there, as we turned the corner just past the entry way, sat the unconventional and colorful side board that I had painted almost six years ago.

 

 

It was like seeing an old friend.

I love how she has styled it. The mirror and the martini bearing huntsman could not be any more perfect with this piece.

I'm so glad to see that it has such a good home.

Enjoy Babs!

I Feel A Table Coming On

 

It's simple, Spring = color. As the days grow a bit longer the skies become bluer, and yards greener. I'm ready to shed my black and gray winter wear for bright corals and blues and today I'm dreaming of some significant splashes of color for the house too.

 

Perhaps warmer weather and the ability to throw open the windows is also spurring my desire to start painting again. 

I painted this table a couple of years ago for a Traveling Door sale. I've featured it here before but I keep coming back to it. It sold at the sale but I'm thinking of recreating another one for myself.

I'll change the colors up a bit so it won't be exactly the same but the table is an Ikea Lindved so I can easily pick up another one.

Perhaps I'll go with hibiscus instead of the hydrangea. A bit of a tropical twist.

 

Stay tuned. I feel a table coming on.

JDRF Clock

 

This past summer I was given the opportunity to share in a spectacular milestone. The chairwoman of our local Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation chapter was celebrating her tenth year as the gala chair. She is one incredible woman and her outstanding and note worthy fund-raising efforts have garnered attention from other charitable organizations and other JDRF chapters across the country. Her family wanted to commemorate her ten year commitment to this cause by gifting her with a clock that had been in their family for years. They wanted to have the clock highlighted with the graphically designed themes from each of the years that she had chaired the event. This is where I came in. My job was to come up with a plan of incorporating ten different event invitations in ten different color palettes, and pull them all together into some sort of cohesive design.

It proved to be a bit of a challenge but with plenty of time to pull my design together and a little brainstorming with my artistic son over a couple glasses of wine, I was able to complete this fun and creative effort.

 

Here are a few shots I took of the clock while it was still in my studio where the lighting for photos is pretty atrocious and the lack of a cleared space is glaringly evident.

I was told that her favorite theme had been the "Wild About A Cure" so I put that front and center.

 

The right side of the clock was the most difficult for me and I must have repainted it three times.

 

 

 

 

The left side had a couple fewer elements so it was easier.

 

 

 

 

Ta da!

 

 Thanks Lavonne, Lorie, and of course, Nette.

Hollywood Regency Cabinet 2.0

 

 

You may remember that around the time that I decided to update our dining room with black walls I also repainted a vintage piece of furniture we had so it would work better with our new look.

 

 

 

I loved the look of this old Victrola cabinet but it came up short in the storage department. In April it was time for the The Traveling Door 2013 event and I realized I  didn't have as many pieces as I usually do to show so I started looking around the house for pieces I had painted and decided to take this newly repainted number too. Well, it sold and although that made me happy there was now a real void at this end of the room that made parting with it a little bittersweet. I have actually sold the last three pieces that I have painted for this space so I am learning to not fall in love with or get too attached to any of them. 

:D

I knew I wanted to repeat the black and white look that worked so well here and I really like that whole Hollywood Regency vibe so when I found this white cabinet at a freight salvage store I knew it needed to come home with me.

 

 

The process was the same. Just like its predecessor, I  taped off a Greek Key type pattern and with some left over black paint I gave this little white sideboard a new black and white look. I call it my Hollywood Regency Cabinet 2.0

 

 

 

 

After adding in a little bit of bling with some hardware via the Hob Lob I like to think the look is complete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully this one will be around for a while.

:D

 

If you are looking for the Motivated Monday linky party it will post tomorrow morning at 9 am Central.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Bold Black Dining Room

 

Ten years ago I never would have believed it if someone told me I would be painting our dining room black, but black it is and we both love it.

 

 

I'm anxious to bring in a bit of coral or fuscia to the table

 

 

Since I took that first picture I have replaced the large mirror above the buffet with a round one. I like how the curves soften all of those rectangular pieces.

 

 

 

 

I am planning on taking this piece to The Traveling Door Market next week but I do like how it looks against the black.

 

 

I could always paint something else to go here.

:D

 

I was also pretty proud of how well this floral canvas looked against the black.

 

 

It works as a way to pull in the corals from the sun room and the coppery golds from the living room that bookend our dining area.

When the contractors are working on the upstairs this summer I will have them add a chair rail here and a molding on the ceiling to further highlight the chandelier.

Then I think I will be able to call this room done. Is there such a word?

:D

Dressing Up a Vintage Cabinet With Hollywood Regency Flair

 

 

It seems like I have been working on this one forever. This is a vintage piece that I found in a flea market almost ten years ago. When I first brought it home it looked like this.

 

 

To tie in with the black and white I have going on in here and to give a nod to the Hollywood Regency style that I have been embracing lately, I decided to dress it up with a coat of black and white paint.

I started by taping off a design as a mask.

 

and I removed the broken carved embellishments. The one on the right door had been broken since I bought the piece and I knew I would never be able to match it.

 

I only sanded the rough chippy spots thinking this was an old flat paint and that the finish was already fairly smooth.

Big mistake!

I coated the body of the piece with a coat of glossy black paint and let it dry.

 

I was so excited to lift the tape and reveal the graphic design below.

Unfortunately, when I did that the paint on the top lifted right along with the tape like a sheet of vinyl.

Uff-da!!!

I had never had that happen before. I am guessing that there was some sort of wax that kept the paint from adhering. Lesson learned. Always sand before painting.

I am the queen of short cuts though so it was only a matter of time before this happened to me.

So now I had to start all over.

The same design never turns out as well the second time so this round I came up with more of a Greek Key layout.

I didn't have a lot of the white paint so I decided to sand and repaint the top black before adding my new design. There were going to be more steps involved this time around.

 

I ran out of the green tape half way though so I had to switch to another brand but the same width. I don't ordinarily use two different colors of tape.

I drew my pattern idea out on paper first then measured from the edge of the top and started taping off my design. Measuring and cutting my tape as I went.

Because I needed the pattern to be white and there would have been way too much math for me to figure it out in the reverse, I opted to trace around my tape template with a white paint pen.

Then I lined up my tape again but this time with the outside of this pattern to help create straighter and cleaner edges.

 

I was more than a little nervous to lift my tape this second round but I was relieved to find that this time my design was revealed without any major mishaps.

 

 

As usual, there were a few minor bleeds but I went back in and touched them up with a sharp edged foam brush and some black paint.

 

The end result? Some new pulls and a Hollywood Regency style outfit for my old shabby chic vintage victrola cabinet.

So what do you think? Should I maybe go out and find a pair of wooden embellishments for those doors? Would that touch of glossy white glam on the doors be too much or the right finishing touch?

Thoughts?

The Wine Cabinet Reveal

Yes, it seems like I have been working on this piece forever but I think I can now say that I can put a big bold check next to the  finish wine cabinet line of my to do list. 

In my defense there was a lot of wood burning on this piece. I like to do the burning out in the garage because of the lingering smell. Plus it has been ungodly hot this summer and some days it was just too beastly to be out there in the heat with a hot burner.

When my friend first brought me her cabinet it looked like this.

 

She likes a colorful folk art style and to give me a bit of direction she gave me this inspiration image. 

 

 

... and this is what I came up with for her.

 

 

 

She wanted to incorporate some wine themed words and phrases into the piece so I added them by burning them into the edges of the front and top of the cabinet.

 

The word Slainte means Cheers in Irish and is a nod to her heritage.

 

 

These are the two sides

 

 

 

 

Even though the back will most likely seldom be seen, I couldn't leave it bare so I added a simple design here too.

 

 

Finally, I always like to add some fun to the interior of a piece like this. This time I  dressed it up with some metalic stripes and  polka dots, a couple bottles of wine and a cork screw and a cork.

 

 

 

I haven't done any trompe L'oeil for awhile. It was fun to revisit this technique.

 

Now it's ready to hold all the cabernet, pinot, malbec and saugvignon blanc she can fit in here.

This piece was beginning to feel like a permanent fixture in my painting garage. I will be just a little bit sad to see it leave.

Looking at the pictures makes me think I deserve a glass of wine.

Cheers to that!

:D

The Memories Bench

Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killin' time
Tryin' to solve life's mysteries

How's your life? It's been awhile
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reachin' for your keys
Lookin for a reason not to leave

Bon Jovi

 

Several years ago, when I was a brand new blogger - actually I think it was one of my very first entries, I wrote a post that began with those lyrics. I even included this same bench that sits on the front porch of our Galena getaway.

It's so true. The line about "lookin' for reason not to leave".

We relish our time here.

Well that was a while ago and even though I still love it, the song has dropped way down on my playlist by now. As for the bench, well it was really beginning to show its age.

Who am I kidding? It wasn't just beginning to show its age. It looked decrepit. It was dirty, the paint was lifting and even the wood was getting that rough weathered texture that if left much longer would make this a very uncomfortable place to sit.

Ouch.

So this past weekend, while the weather was spectacular and unusually warm for March in the midwest, I had this burst of energy and decided to give our Memory Bench a fresh coat of paint for 2012.

 

Because building covenants here don't allow me to have a brightly colored front door like that vivid yellow that I have at home, I decided to get a boost of personality with this colorful bench instead.

It came with the house and was a boring blond oak until I got my paintbrushes on it.

This time around I will top coat it with a marine grade polyurethane. I think I just used whatever I had on hand the first time. Hopefully that will get us through the next three or four years.

If the bench is still worth saving by then I think I might sand it down and start from scratch. I'm thinking I should incorporate that Bon Jovi quote the next time I dress this baby up.

One of A Kind Game Table

Let The Games Begin

 

Earlier this summer a color loving client gave me this game table to paint.

Her only request was that it coordinate with her vivid pinks, greens, and blues.

Color me inspired.

When I first laid eyes on this little number it was a sedate combo of blacks and browns.

 

There were a lot of surfaces to this piece and

I grossly underestimated the number of hours that the project would take.

The inset of the table was set up for backgammon and the top is designed for chess.

 

I taped off the backgammon template and began priming.

By the middle of August it was looking more like this.

 

Quite a change up already.

I wish you could know the client.

She worships at the alter of bright colors and whimsical patterns. As I said, other than the color direction, she gave me a free hand in the design. 

To give myself an inspirational jumping off point, I took some images of the inside of her home.

This bright and bold pairing stand sentry in the foyer.  So, right from the get go you know that while you are here you are going to be in for a colorfully visual treat with a real sense of fun.

 

This delightful duo along with a raspberry pink sectional will be in the same room as the game table. 

 

These elements make it obvious that this is a client that is fearless when it comes to color and pattern.

Gotta love that.

:)

So I went all out on this one.

It is difficult to take pictures in my studio with its overhead lighting but it was raining outside today and I wanted to get these photos taken because I am sure my client is anxious to have her table back.

Okay, maybe I was pretty stoked to share it too.

:0

So without further ado,

Drum roll please.....

.......

The table without the top -

 

 

 

 

 

and now with the chess board top on.

The customer wanted more aqua in this piece and I think it pulled together well with the raspberry pinks and  lime greens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really liked how the legs turned out.

Sometimes I never really know where I am going.

These pieces often seem to have a will all of their own.

This table was no exception.

I can tell from this close up picture of the leg that I need to go back in and touch up the under side of the table a bit.

Oops. 

:0

So I will do that and top coat the entire piece and then I will be able to turn it over to its new home.

Even in that flamboyant space I think this lively one will be able to hold its own.

Yes, another BeColorful project out the door.

It's like coloring the world one piece of furniture at a time.

The Cabinet That Only Took Me Three Years To Paint

I purchased this sweet little cabinet several years ago from a consignment shop.

I notice a lot of people remove these wire insets but I thought these were what gave this piece a unique charm and probably the element that enticed me to buy it. 

When I first brought this piece home blogging wasn't even on my radar so I never even gave a thought to taking a before picture.

Just know that it was basically brown with some black accents.

Three years ago I gave it the BeColorful treatment.

  While my brushes were loaded with paint, I decided to redo this piece too.

Somebody had already painted this one white and I left it like that for quite awhile but sometimes the spirit just moves you. Unfortunately for me, this is usually just hours before I am expecting company. This time I was supposed to host our book/cocktails club that night.

I don't know why, but I usually decide to tackle a paint project the day of a party. You would think I would have learned by now but I am still doing it.

It was while I was painting these two pieces that I learned that my dad had fallen and was going to require surgery.

Needless to say, book club was canceled and I threw my brushes in a cup of water to soak until I could get back to them.

Life got crazy for awhile and this little cabinet looked like this for the next three years.

 

 

 

You will notice that the right side is just a muddy green.

Whenever I posted pictures of this room on the blog it wasn't from this side. No, the picture was usually taken from this angle so you, the reader wouldn't notice.

:0

Occasionally you saw this view.

Well it took another party and rearranging the furniture in this room to get me to recommit to this project.

Finally, last month,  I revisited this striped, harlequined and floral creation.

I was feeling good about myself that I was giving myself enough of a window before the party that the paint would be dry.

This time I was madly recovering ten dining chairs while waiting for the caterer.

It's a sickness.

Anyway, I wanted to bring a bit more red to this side of the room so this is what I came up with.

 

It probably took me less than an hour to finish this up.

Geesh. Sometimes I wonder about myself.

Maybe the next thing I will do is finally finish the back side of that other piece.

( The last side is still unfinished)

It must be a Freudian thing.

Dressing Up The Vanity Bench

Chalk up another project in the completed column.

Or so I thought.

I recently dressed up this vanity chair for a client.

When it arrived here in my studio it looked like this.

I almost forgot to take the before picture but here goes the primer coat.

I have done this hydrangea pattern a number of times and this client liked it on another piece of mine so I incorporated that design into the back but thought a vanity chair needed something a bit more glamorous to sass it up a bit.

Leopard print goes with everything so I thought it would be the perfect compliment for the red floral pattern.

To pull the two looks together, I striped the back of the chair combining the two concepts.

 

 

 

Now that I look at the photos, I wonder if I need some black and white stripes around those braces and a bit more gold striping down the front of the legs.

Hmmm. I just can't seem to ever be satisfied.

Yes, I Painted My Antique Commode Raspberry Pink

 

 

 

Oh yes I did.

Avert your eyes if you have issues with painting perfectly good antique pieces,

because that is exactly what I did.

Horrors right?

Please don't un-subscribe.

:)

 

 Until this week this was a  golden oak commode that I bought back in the 80's.

( Behr primer + paint)

Back then I didn't have a car that it would fit in so my dad picked it up for me and helped deliver it to my apartment.

That's just what dads do.

I know a lot of you are shaking your head in disdain that I painted this piece at all and as if that wasn't painful enough, I had to commit my sin with a raspberry pink.

I must say,

I'm not sorry.

It was the right decision for me.

 

In my defense, when I first bought my little oak piece she was coated in a very ugly shade of green.

I went to work laboriously stripping it down to bare wood and then staining and varnishing it.

The detail work was a bear but it is what makes the piece interesting.

 

 

I was so proud of my work but alas, things change.

Styles change and my home has changed numerous times.

I stripped it myself so I felt entitled to paint it again if I wanted.

 

 
I went back and forth between pink or a bold green or yellow.

For now I am happy with my pink choice.

It does go kind of red in the evenings though, and yes,

I even painted the back so it looks good from the back in front of that window.

:)

I could have sold this piece as it was but it had some memories for me including the one of my dad who is no longer here.

Over the years it stored my china. We had a small wedding so early on I didn't have much to store.

Then for the first six months of Lizzie's life it held toys.

As the toys multiplied we moved on.

For a while it contained an overflow of video tapes.

Later on it stored booze.

A few years after that we must have started drinking more and decided we needed a built in bar.

:)

So this little commode was relegated to the place where I keep extension cords, light bulbs, batteries and candles.

Just recently I moved it out of the media room and onto the breezeway.

I wasn't sure at first if I really liked it here.

I didn't like the look of the oak but I hated to give up a storage piece.

Then it hit me,

I was ready to take the plunge.

I would paint it and feel not an ounce of guilt.

I didn't want my usual multi patterned look, just a solid color this time with some new hardware.

 

 

Yes, painting the commode was the perfect solution.

I still have my memories, I still have my storage but now I also have a fresh pop of color in this formerly demure green yellow and white room.

 

Hmmmm. Now I'm thinking I need some raspberry pink and red pillows on the other side of the room to balance things out.

Well that settles it.

Gone shopping.

Bistro Table ala Petals and Polka Dots

 

I thought I would share this bistro set with you that I painted up last month.

 

It was a terrific find.

What I liked about this set is that it could all folded up including the table and theneasily stored in a closet or under a bed.

It could, of course, be left up all the time but if space is at a premium it would be fabulous to pull out for an extra serving area and seating while entertaining.

Before I started it was a plain black table and the chairs were covered in a tan ultra suede type fabric.

It was "nice" but it was calling out for some petals and polka dots.

I forgot to take a picture before I started but here is the top as I am progressing through my work.

 

I like the look of this outlined style and it is easy for me to design.

I primed the table top and then painted it a dark brown.

I do this lily frequently and the tulip and round flower are also on my go to repertoire. 

I plan it out so that the larger flowers are spread out strategically and then I fill in any voids with smaller flowers and curling stems and leaves.

Those curling stems are a life saver for me when the layout in my head doesn't go as well as planned.

I do my outline with a Sharpie pen.

Then it is kind of like old time coloring with some shading thrown in.

The important thing here is to let that Sharpie ink set for a couple of days before top coating or it will bleed.

Some things I've had to learn the hard way.

:(

I edged the table in brown and white instead of my usual black and white because I thought it tied in better with the bar stools that I recovered in brown and white polka dot.

 

 

 

I was really happy with how it turned out.

 

 

I took it to The Traveling Door Market

and yes, It sold.

 

If I find another one I just may have to keep it. 

Thanks for stopping by.

I love company.

Passionate About Pink

Every once in a while I pull together a piece and then I find

I don't want to part with it.

This might be one of those pieces.

It is an Ikea table that i bought a couple of months ago to paint up for 

The Traveling Door Market.

Originally, the plan was to paint it aqua but when I asked the women of The Traveling Door what they thought, they all agreed it should be pink.

I'm so glad I listened to them.

This pink hydrangea number would be perfect in my green family room

or in our breezeway.

Damn.

Why did I have to go and fall in love with pink?

 

Sometimes things just come together right.

This was, for me, one of those easy pieces.

Maybe that is why I don't want to part with it.

:)

BeColorful is Seeing Red

 

 

I bought this red Lack table from IKEA a couple of months ago thinking I would do something with it for The Traveling Door.

Well, I can't believe it but our sale is only a week away.

Oh the pressure.

I am feeling the time crunch for sure.

So with that in mind this post will be short and sweet.

I haven't done much with bright red yet so when I saw this table I thought that it would be a bit outside my box.

My base was there. Now all it needed was the BeColorful treatment...

over sized flowers in yellow and that black and white bordered apron.

 

 

Tally up another project as finished.

Since I took the picture I added a bit more of a darker green to the "grassy" legs.

I thought they looked a bit like flames...not the look I was going for.

If I get time, and that is a bit if, I might paint up a wooden lady bug and add her to one of the legs for that added element of whimsy.

So onto the next piece.

Thanks for stopping by.

XOXO

Inspired by Kim Parker and Susan Sargent and Ms Mary E- A BeColorful Coffee Table

 

Kim Parker.

I love her bold floral patterns and color combinations.

Susan Sargent is another source of mojo for me.

I have two of her books and when I am feeling uninspired I pull them off the shelves and soak in all of her lively happy patterns.

Even the overdone Ms Engelbreit can still thrill me with her designs.

Somehow it still has that uplifting effect.

I have been working on a trio of tables that belonged to James.

They were typical college type pieces that started out looking something like this.

Even though this little trio was meant to be a set

I don't do sets.

I painted each one with an element like the other but each is totally unique.

I wanted them to be compatible if they ended up all going to the same home but I wanted them to also be bold and sassy enough so that individually  each one could become a statement piece.

The striped legs on this one

 

are like the striped apron on this one.

 

and the legs and apron on that one are like the legs and apron on the Kim Parker inspired coffee table that I just finished.

 

 

 

It's totally wack. I know.

But crazy is as crazy does.

:)

Seriously?

It just makes me happy.

Garden Side Tables

 

 

You may remember the two little side tables I talked about in an earlier post.

They both started out looking like this.

 

 

 

I could have done something sedate and sweet...

but that just isn't what I do.

This was the first one that I did last week.

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't want them to match exactly but I thought that if they ended up in the same room it would be fun if they coordinated.

I painted the second one earlier this week and when

 I finished it up and this is the end result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a coffee table too to complete this trio.

 I'm working on that now...

I will be using some of the same colors and patterns

but dialing up the crazy even a bit more.

Here is a sneak peek.

 

 

Hopefully I will have this wild garden table finished up by tomorrow so I can share it on my Motivated Monday post.

Spring Stripes Side Table

The Traveling Door Market is one month from today.

That means it is officially "crunch time" for me.

I always promise myself I will be better prepared for the next go around...

and I never am.

As usual, I feel like I am way behind where I had hoped to be.

I'm lining up my completed projects, though, and this is my latest.

I actually have a pair of these little tables but I won't be painting them exactly alike.

That isn't the beColorful way.

:)

I'm just starting on the second table now and I'm thinking I will make the two compatible if somebody wanted to use them both in the same space but I want each of them to be unique and a one-of-a-kind creation.

They both started out looking like this.

The upside of James moving to Asia is that I inherited a couple of his castoffs.

 

 

 

I could see this sassy striped number nestled in between a pair of adirondack chairs or rockers on the porch

because... 

 

nothing says Welcome Spring like a pop of color.

PS. I am still having button or badge issues. All suggestions welcome.

PPS. If you haven't linked up yet at Motivated Monday there is still time.

Sassy Side Table

Black and White (and Spring Green) Delight

Again, I forgot to take a  before picture.

Blogging Fail.

Last month one of my favorite clients brought me this little side table.

It reminded me of the tables that I've seen that you can put a floor length table cloth on and use for additional serving space or to set a lamp.

Let's just say it wasn't a thing of real beauty.

Ms. B had seen my earlier post on BeColorful's Color of the Week - Spring Green.

Like me, she is a huge worshiper of black and white but she really wanted a bit of that green in this piece too.

The minute I saw this piece I knew where I wanted to take it.

That doesn't always happen but this time it did.

The round top made it perfect for this oversized floral motif.

The sides I would do with the help from some painter's tape.

I alternated the direction and size of the stripes to give it a bit more design interest.

Then popped the edges with green.

Voila - Sassy side table!

Not Your Grandma's Tea Cart

I've been feeling pretty productive around here lately.

I've been working on a number of commissioned pieces and I have several that are close to being completed.

The first one in my line up in this tea cart.

When it showed up in my studio last month it looked like this.

I have love love loved working with this client because she adores color as much as I do.

Pink, Orange, Aqua, Green, Yellow she loves all the happy colors so that is the direction I went with.

You can only imagine how much fun this was to create.

She showed me pictures of pieces she already owned and of things she liked.

She is not afraid to give feedback.

Because she is out of town she hasn't seen this  piece yet either.

So if there is something you don't like Ms. S then now is the time to let me know before I clear coat it.

Drum roll please...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Definitely not your Grandmother's Tea Cart.

XOXO,
