White Project

After the old, crumbly, creepy, decaying mess of Halloween, I'm feeling like I need something fresh, and clean, and bright, and white! So I'm sprucing up my dining room with white. I was inspired by the white ironstone soup tureen my MIL gave me many years ago. It sits on top of the china cupboard all the time, but I put it front and center on the buffet the day after Halloween.
Then I shopped the house and found this mirror from Home Depot which I painted white.

And these two lamps got painted white too.


Then I mixed some glaze with just a little gray....


and painted it over the two coats of white. Then I rubbed almost all of it off leaving a slightly grayish look in the details.


Now, won't these look nice next to the ironstone? I should be able to put everything together Saturday and show you the results. See you Saturday here Amongst The bright, clean, white Oaks.
