From Beast to Boho Beauty

Hey Everybody!
I wanted to share a garage dive with you in hopes that you can see new life in something you have laying around.

This was in my mom’s garage…I’m pretty sure my Granny grabbed it up at an estate sale at one point. We are several generations deep in this hoarding problem LOL. I like to think of it as a gift, not a problem - my husband would not agree.

I started out with DIY Bohemian Blue paint which you can see in the picture, and then I went to town layering in:
DIY Old 57 - Turquoise
DIY Kissing Booth - Hot Pink
DIY Queen Bee - Golden Yellow
And BLENDING until my little heart was content.
Wet distress to bring back a hint of that wood and depth.
Then on to gold and silver for embelishments and highlights…

The Result:

Here she is in detail -
She was immediately grabbed up, and I hope she makes someone feel right at home every night!
