Picking Colours

Still playing around and figuring out where pictures post, but the chair is my current project. I inherited frim my sweet GG (Grandpa) when he passed on but it's time for a redo. I don't feel like totally refinishing it so I'll just settle for recovering it. I got a great deal on the material - although, not my first choice, I couldn't resist - $7.00 ! I usually just jump in blind to these projects - no How To Books or anything - sometimes creativity can be a curse. Like the time I decided I needed to make a photo quilt of my parents lives for their 40th anniversary. Of course I don't even sew and had never done anything like that before - but that didn't seem to be a problem ! I was still making it at the last minute and had everything ( and I mean everything ) spread all over the house when my beloved relatives decided to visit me early ! We learned a new expression from them that visit "On t'a pris avec the culottes en bas" - We caught you with your pants down ! ...........anyhoo, I'll post a picture shortly of the final result . Until then - hoping a little grace touches your day.

So, on yesterday's post I mentioned that I had picked my paint colours for the house off of a favourite painting and here's the painting:Not the best picture but hopefully you get the idea.

For the colours I chose a light gold, a dark gold , the muted, brick red you can see there and a warm colour called crystalized honey. If I was somewhat computer proficient I'd be able to post samples or chips.
