Hey everyone!
I thought I'd be able to show you the bookcases for my youngest daughter's room today, but we still have some loose ends to tie up on the project. Definitely next week!
Instead, I'll show you a small painting project that I just did.
This metal urn was originally a dark bronze and I painted it red several years ago. Now that I'm trying to update my colors, the finish definitely needed a change. You can see the birdcage with the old finish on the left. Last weekend I gave it a new look t0o. If you missed it, you can see it here.
I painted the whole thing cream, then brushed on some burnt umber using the dry brush technique. I just kept adding until I thought it looked good.
Hope you have something fun planned for for tomorrow!

Love the finish! You did a great job. Hope you will stop by and visit my summer giveaway at TheDIYspot.com.
Pam that is one of the prettiest finishes I have seen.
The new finish looks so authentic and gives your urn an old world charm. I love the skeleton keys, too!
What a transformation! And I love that you've give something you already own a new look. Thanks for sharing--
