Paint it black

I'll admit ... I don't have a lot of all black decor. Ok, more like none. I prefer colors or wood. I wear black almost everyday, but for my home? I feel like its too modern. That's why I was especially surprised when a couple of my most recent Goodwill finds screamed "PAINT US BLACK!"

The results? I love them ... and want to keep them, but would feel like I needed to change the rest of my decor. So, you get a sneak peek before they go in my Etsy shop this weekend!

I found this great (plastic) wooden key. I thought about painting it almond or pebble and doing a little sanding, but I had the inkling that black would really set it apart. I also found this frame that I am completely in love with! Same situation ... I debated between leaving it as is or painting it one of my favorite got-to colors but I just knew that black would suit this. In between coats, some of the gold would show through so I considered gilding it a little after I was finished. But jet black? Oh, so chic!
A while ago, I hinted at a little project I wanted to do with these parts. Its been rainy the past few days, so I haven't been able to finish but I'm excited for some sunshine and a reveal!

Until next time!
