Woodworking Family Life Style: Cant get enough of this color and my new workshop!!!!

Sunday, July 3, 2016

I'm on a turquoise color kick! I just love this color from the

Real Milk Paint co. They call it cobalt but it's this stunning shade of turquoise.

This 100 yr old buffet was in great condition.

I didn't want to cover up the wood but just wanted to enhance it a bit.

I forgot to snap a pic before I started. The wood is quarter sawn oak and hardly needed any

attention. I sanded the doors and drawers and went over them with some stain that

matched the body. Painted with the milk paint. Oh I forgot, I actually did a first coat

with the color "peacock" and then did my second coat in cobalt. I didn't want the color

to be too bright and I like the greenish-blue underneath.

I have to post a pic of my new garage makeover-workbench area! Everything was done with stuff

we already had laying around the garage. The wood flooring on the wall has been up in the rafters

for 5 years! Wasn't enough to really do anything with so why not bling up the workspace area?!

Mr Pretty built me the new work bench and put the wood on the wall. I stained and sealed, as usual!
