Weekend Redo's
Our first project of the weekend was to update our large, HEAVY, brass mirror. At Menards Amanda found a color of paint that she liked and it was ready for tape and spray.The color was Rustoleom "Pistachio." Pistachio is also the name of the color of our Kitchenaid stand mixer. She would paint everything pistachio.
And it turned out well. The brass was a bit too obtrusive for our tastes and the lighter paint is a much cleaner look. The color doesn't really pop off the wall but we are not in love with the bedroom paint scheme. It might be something we change after we get a new bed and headboard.
The mirror got relocated over the gentleman's dressing valet opposite of our window and it looks good there. We moved the dresser it was sitting on after mounting the TV, Cable Box, and DVD player so the mirror needed a new home anyway. (Perhaps Amanda will do a post on the new bedroom layout later.
This fan was one of Amanda's Birthday presents. It was going to be trashed at work so I brought it home cleaned the motor and case as well as oiling the mechanism. It runs very well now and helps cool of he living room. I new Amanda would love it because she loves anything in this sea foam green color. The only thing that would be better is pistachio.

I love the mirror! I never would have imagained it looking good in pistachio, but it really does. The window seat/bench looks good too. You guys are so creative.
