The last two weeks were pretty intense – a lot of work was waiting for me after our two weeks of vacation. Time went so fast, I’m happy to find this moment to meditate and bring my thoughts down for a second.
It’s fabulous how fast winter has changed with spring this year – a week ago, we had bad, cold, inclement weather and now birds are singing all over in the trees, bushes are foliating and yesterday was my first day wearing only a shirt outside (we had 21 degrees!!!) – incredible! I love spring so much 🎉!!
I would like to share another lost-&-found-story with you guys today – find the first one here. In February, I started jogging again (you know, during the pandemic you have to do something for yourselves to stay in training – in any kind of discipline 😉). So, one day on my morning round, I found this fancy side table:
We cleaned it and Thomas said straightaway: “That one will get a new design!”. In the first week of our vacation at the beginning of March, he started to sand the surface and to put the first layer of colour on it. We decided something blue would be nice 🤩:
We love to play with different styles in our home – something classic meets something edgy, gets mixed with something boho and strikes something clean.
It’s incredible how different the colour looks with the second layer – we used some wall colour remained 😊. The fine-tuning was my part then. For that clear Scandinavian design I thought some geometric décor would be great – a golden hummingbird would fit well!!!
After having sketched the motive, I started to work the gold in using a special acrylic paint (Champagner Gold) – here comes the result:
Thomas varnished it with a special wood lacquer at the end so that beverage and cleanser cannot harm it in any way.
It’s always a joy to give thrown away things a new purpose – we love that!!
Wishing you a sunny, inspiring rest of the week and stay save!!!
