Thank you for your sweet comments about my last post. I'm having so much fun painting things black...I hope you all don't tire of seeing my black projects because I have a few more. I'm not really sure what this wooden thing is, but I've been using it as a disguise on my washer to hide the ugly hoses. Of course, I do have to look at the hoses when I'm washing clothes, but at least they can be hidden should we have guests that need to use the powder rom.

I put this basket of pipberries there, too.

Here is a picture of the cupboard in my powderroom. As you can see, the black tiles I recently painted are on the middle shelf. Now that I'm looking at this picture the basket in the lower right corner looks a little out of place...or is it just me??? Do you think I should paint it black, too?

I purchased black plate holders at Wal-mart to lift them up a bit. I didn't like the look of how all three black items on the shelf were the same level...it needed some height variation and the plate holders solved that problem.

On the top shelf is a sign that says "HOME". I made this myself. The frame was from a yard sale. It cost me .25 cents. The frame was light green and I painted it black. I used scrapbooking materials, but I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the look of it...I mean it's okay, but I think it needs some embellishment.

This frame was a thrift store find. It was gold, and then I had painted it white, which didn't work for me so I painted it black and added the scrapbooking materials. It did have a small picture of a bird in it, but I wanted something different.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my latest projects...have a blessed day, my friends!
Hi Kim -
ReplyDeleteI sure am enjoying your projects and Fall decor. You asked about painting the basket black. What color is that I see in between the weave? If it's not black you could paint that black and it might be enough. Maybe the whole basket in black would be too much - maybe not! Let us know what you decide.

It is amazing what a coat of blank paint can do. Wonderful makeovers, Kim!

I love your cabinet and I don't think the basket looks out of place at all. I love your painted tiles below, how clever.
ReplyDeleteBlack is really addicting, isn't it? LOL
ReplyDeleteI like everything on your cupboard. It's all placed well and looks great. I can see why the picture on the bottom is sticking out to you...because it's different. It doesn't look bad but if it's really bugging you, paint it :)
If you check out my blog and look at my laundry room posts, I have a clothesline filled with a few of the kids old pieces. They're there to strategically hide the lovely hoses, too ;)
Have a great night!
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I was but I have a doctor's appt. that day. If not I would have certainly been there.
Doesn't Ligoner have something around Christmas? If so maybe we can plan on meeting then. I'd love it!

It's amazing what a little black paint can do, isn't it? It all looks great!

I never get tired of seeing how people use black paint to transform things! It's so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done, and I think that is pure genius to cover your washer hoses like that! The basket of pips looks so good against the black.
About the basket, I think it looks fine as is, but maybe you could add something in a similar color to the top opposite shelf to tie them together? ove the plate holders under the photos. That's a great way to add height and makes the arrangement more pleasing.
You do such a great job, you really don't need our help! LOL!
You have a great day!
