Pretty in Pink

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I had a great time with family, got to hang out with some good friends, and managed to finish tons of creative projects.  If only every week had a four day weekend! 

One of my favorite projects from the weekend is yet another little kid chair.  (As I shared before, I am a bit obsessed with tiny chairs and have quite the pile in my basement so you can expect to see plenty of mini chair redos around here).  This started out as a pretty basic little wooden chair - you can see it front and center in the picture below.


I have a total love affair with the color blue in all of its wonderful shades and that will probably never change. But over the past few months a new color has really been catching my eye. There is an amazing shade of raspberry/hot pink by Valspar called Couture. I have used it a few times now and I have decided it is the absolute perfect shade of pink. I have never been a huge pink fan, but I have decided that a tiny pop of pink can really make a room. 

So when it came time for another wee chair makeover, pink it was. I adore the color but thought it needed just a little something more so I painted on some dandelions.

I am taking this little beauty plus a ton of other new projects to my tiny shop tomorrow night.  It may not fit in a stocking, but I still think it would be a great gift for a sweet little girl (or her mom).

I also want to say thanks to a couple of great blogs for featuring my favorite little nook last week.  Thanks Crafty Scrappy Happy, Knick of Time, A Diamond in the Stuff, and Mod Vintage Life.  Each of these blogs is wonderful and well worth a visit.  (And I mean that 100% - if you haven't visited these blogs you are totally missing out).

I also want to say a big thanks to Tracy at Screaming Sardine for awarding me the Tell Me About Yourself Award  and Sarah at Renewed Upon a Dream for awarding me the Versatile Blogger Award.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I know there is more stuff I am supposed to do for these awards but it is a super busy time of year, so a big thanks will have to do.
