Good Bed Head

Another cheapo paint project I have finished...just two months ago.....and I hadn't posted.
Total cost : $2!

okay, $3 if I add one buck for a Dollar Store painter plastic blanket to keep my garage floor clean while painting....
The shutters were doors from a long gone wetbar (before we bought the house) and the paint an 'oops' (=returned yet new) pot from Lowes... Before :

After:

(deux dol, allez trois en comptant la bâche en plastique pour peindre proprement dans notre garage ces portes de 'wetbar' qui attendaient patiemment leur comeback magistral sous forme de tête de lit...les frais colossaux sont pour un pot tout neuf de peinture soldée (retournée par un client ayant ss doute changé d'avis chez Lowes...)

Side Table Update

Just when I'm done, the last coat is totally dry, here comes the long awaited rain in my corner of the planet...(carefull what you wish for) Meaning I have very little light to work with but wanted to show you the result of my trash rescue... I'm not really sure what the purpose of the table is...coffee table? side table next to a couch or bed side table? I will use it as the latter.

Waaaooo! Have you shown your neighbour? She might want it back.

Ze question



Ta daaa. rescued in extremis from trash pick up and in desperate need of TLC.
So, which colour?
A simple timeless white?
A trendy taupe?
A fashionable mustard?
An electric pop red?
A colonial teal?
A laqueredddddddddddddddhmmm black?

Am up for opinions...
There'll be a much need sanding and primering before anyway...

I say glossy white! all the way!
