Have you ever found “the perfect accessory” only it’s not the right color?
DD and I are working on Baby Boy’s room right now, he’s due in 7 weeks!
CC is on hand for assistance, she is currently checking out the new crib for stability
The color scheme is blue, white and gray, and the theme is nautical
I painted the yellowish anchor Annie Sloan Napoleonic Blue, and the sides of it got a coat of Annie Sloan Old White to match the night table we’re working on
I knew it would be tricky to paint an even white line around the edge for a highlight, so I opted to make a dotted line, much easier to control and doesn’t have to be perfect to look smashing!
Stayed tuned, I will post the nursery and the artwork I am painting for the room when it’s had the final touches
It is going to be adorable!
Juicy Details
Paint even dots with the handle tip end of your paint brush, dipping it in paint and then placing one dab of paint straight down on the surface where dot is desired. Clean the paint off the handle every so often, to keep paint from building up, so your dots remain even
