I get most of my best ideas at two in the morning. I find myself wide awake with such excitement while trying to figure out how I would logically turn this idea into a reality. Then the torture of waiting all day the next day until we are free to head out to Home Depot or where ever the destination is. The guys from Home Depot know us pretty well. Here comes the little crazy lady with two kids in the cart asking them about some outrageous projects. Yup, that is me. This time around, it was to turn my old ugly fridge into a shabby French beauty. I know it sounds crazy but I have to tell you, I think this is one of the best projects I ever came up with. This is what it used to look like...dirty and outdated. This is another example of getting too excited and forgetting to take a before picture. I did this project about a year ago. In retrospect, I wish I had really planned it out and ordered better looking appliques instead of rushing and just getting stuff at Home Depot. Lesson learned. I am going to apologize for the next sets of picture because we haven't had a sunny day in awhile. Here it is. When I was writing this post I thought maybe I should freshen up the paint. Then I realized I don't have any more Annie Sloan's Duck Egg and it would take a few days to get here. This is the perfect example of my complete lack of patience. This beauty looks pretty good for a whole year of rough handling without any wax on it. I didn't have any dark wax when I did this project. So I mixed clear wax with dark brown paint to antique it a bit. At one in the morning, I think it was the best I could come up with. : ) I do wish I have another old fridge to do this project properly again and show you step by step. But in the mean time, I am quite content with it. This is what it looks like on a normal day. the perfect frame for Bella's arts. Reminder of how beautiful life is. Or how amazing love is.
