mellow yellow...

so happy wednesday everyone!!
my vacation is over and back to work for me.
i looove my job so i was A. okay with it, it was sad to leave my pax man again.
we were nap buddies... did i ever mention how much i LOOOOVE naps? well if not, now you know! =)

ANYWHO on with my post.

so you remember these goodies from here?!? well minus the paint. =)

i paid $1 for the glass dome and $2 for the bottom!!!
plus $2.67 a piece for the spray paint... i was out =/
total=$8.34... under $10 i can live with that!

anyways. so i gave it a good cleaning.
sanded the bottom
{i am SO bad at taking pictures, i usually get SO excited. =) you know how it goes}
i primed it with white
then when it dried, i whipped out the yellow
{which is part of the scheme to my new kitchen, in the works =) }
when it dried i put in some spanish moss,
put a little birdy in...

ANNND VOILA... here she is!!!

isn't she beautiful??

YEP! i think so too!!

this is my FAVORITE project TO DATE!!

L.O.V.E. L.O.V.E. L.O.V.E. it!!!

one more look??
OKAY, you talked me into it!


OF course i'll have to find her a permanent home when the kitchen is done!!
hope you guys have a great night...
i'm off to watch BIG BROTHER!!
{i think i have TOO many addictions!}
=)

  2. That is too darling! It would go great in my kitchen! I've been on the look out for a cheese dome to do something similar, but they are always $6 at my thrift store, what is up with that? Don't they know how cheap I am? ;)

    Love the moss and the birdie too! Perfect!

    Thanks for linking up at Craftastical!

  3. It's beautiful, I love the colour, so cheery! My thrift store cheese domes(if you are lucky enough to find a cheese dome) are either too heavy - and they are also at least $6! So, no project like this for me. :( Yet.

  15. I have never thought about spray painting this type of wooden accessory. Now you are giving me ideas - I see bright yellow or red or glowing blue, pale greens. Good thing the store is closed this time of day.

  23. I'm kind of scared using "color" that I normally wouldn't use. But seeing creative projects like this one gets me all excited to go outside my "comfort zone".

    You have awesome projects! Can't wait to see more!

  31. Oh I so agree, it is wonderful. Love the moss and the bird inside. I don't know where in the world you guys keep finding those wonderful pedestals. I have a cheese dome, but alas, no pedestal. I am crazy about yellow, so this is just perfect. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
