... tho lamps can't see *scratches chin* Ahright. My desk lamp's color wasn't cutting it anymore (the top was green), so I brought out the paint!! I gave it one full coat of Acrylic paint: Licorice- Plaid ( except  the knob at the back) Luckily I put it on to see that the green was still showing through the top!! When the 1st coat dried, I went in with a thick second coat painting the knob as well ... and voila, it's back in action. Downside: The paint will chip easily since I use this lamp a lot so I have to be careful. I even decided not to put my pens and pencils in it anymore. Upside: It looks dapper! Paint is a wonderful thing :) Blessings J

I can't even remember where I got this clutch from, but its bin around for years. I used these two paints to get the desired shade:  Metallic Acrylic Paint- 'Aztec Gold' & two drops of 'Antique Gold' . Added two drops of water and mixed. It dried (about 75 percent) pretty fast so I was able to paint the whole clutch in one shot. Bought this chain at a craft store for $1. I measured the length, cut it with a cutter thing and used the remaining piece for a "necklace" (Inspired by Qochemist). Super Cute!!! (I still have to add the hook to it) Focus! Ok. I don't know if these chains come in gold cause that would of saved me tons of time. This is what I did to apply the pain onto the chain I had to blow between the links to get rid of the paint bubbles and used the brush to touch up any silver parts. That didn't work too well. The paint was still coming off.THEN  I remembered that it didn't have to be...

Lately I've bin just changing up a few things in my bed-room My vision is to have one half of my room grown and serious and the other half fun and bright...Yup Instead of buying new things, I decided to just re-do and re-vamp the old stuff.  This is what I did to this old box I bought about 3 years ago from Conway I got the stones- plastic (a year ago) from a 99c store and I used a glue gun (gift from Heaven) to stick them on (The back is still naked and I have to fill in a few spots on the sides) This box actually reminds me of a cake my mom made for my 26th BDay LOL!! I will have a few related posts to come in the near future! GIVEAWAY to be announced at the end of the month. Make sure you follow this BLOG  for a chance to win!! Blessings J
