Pink: The New Neutral

September 1, 2015 by Bee Filed Under: Chalk Paint, DIY, home decorating, paint, repurpose, Thrift Store, Tutorials

Today I am going to do my best to convince you that Pink is THE new neutral.  It’s also possible that I am justifying my latest obsession and trying to add some pink into this testosterone fueled home.

I fell in love with Velvet Finishes by Kellie Smith awhile ago when I did my green and gold dresser.  It is beautiful paint and goes on with no priming or sanding and levels out to the smoothest finish all on its own! Kellie was kind enough to provide me with some paint for a couple of projects but all thoughts on it are my own.

Once I saw Ethereal, the most gorgeous pink ever, the only problem was not painting ALL THE THINGS pink!

I got a grip on myself though and picked one thing… for now.  This lamp was $6 at my local resale store and I loved the shape of it! The color, not so much.  I am a big fan of brass but this was not a good brass.

I have needed a new lamp in a corner of my family room and I can’t wait to show you where this beauty is going to end up- but I am to impatient to wait because it’s just so gorgeous- so here she is with zero prep work, and two quick coats of Velvet Finishes in Ethereal…. (feel free to applaud)

I love it so much I want to cry.  And it is going to look awesome in the family room!

Did I mention that one little pot of paint lasts for ever? Like it doesn’t even look like I have used any.

So help me out here people… spread the word… pin it, shout it, share it, smoke signal it… Pink is the New Neutral!

Check back next week to see where this pretty lady will live!
