Cant get enough of this color and my new workshop!!!!

I'm on a turquoise color kick! I just love this color from the

Real Milk Paint co. They call it cobalt but it's this stunning shade of turquoise.

This 100 yr old buffet was in great condition.

I didn't want to cover up the wood but just wanted to enhance it a bit.

I forgot to snap a pic before I started. The wood is quarter sawn oak and hardly needed any

attention. I sanded the doors and drawers and went over them with some stain that

matched the body. Painted with the milk paint. Oh I forgot, I actually did a first coat

with the color "peacock" and then did my second coat in cobalt. I didn't want the color

to be too bright and I like the greenish-blue underneath.

I have to post a pic of my new garage makeover-workbench area! Everything was done with stuff

we already had laying around the garage. The wood flooring on the wall has been up in the rafters

for 5 years! Wasn't enough to really do anything with so why not bling up the workspace area?!

Mr Pretty built me the new work bench and put the wood on the wall. I stained and sealed, as usual!

We Are Itching To Get Her In The Water

She is still in the driveway but not for long.
We said we would launch her in June
and
June has one more weekend.

We are so close to being ready that we have sailing fever.

Be sure and come back to see my launch day post,
but in the meantime,
leave a comment and tell me what you think.
