DIY Ahh-tempt: Ombre Chair

I don't know how many of you are on Pinterest, I'm addicted, but I am always finding fun DIY projects and inspirational photos of things I want to make. Once such thing was this post fon Design Sponge originally from The Divine Minimalist by Jesse.

Jesse's beautiful creation.

Talk about a cool and simple project idea. Simple in concept at least. After the jump is the full process I went through. Overall I'd rate this DIY a 3 on a 1 to 5 scale of difficulty with 5 being pretty hard. I'm fairly confident that anyone could do this project. Between the sanding and dry time, it does take willpower to finish the project without rushing just to get to the end product. If you have a day off from work or you're having a lazy day, enjoy the sunshine in between stages of the sanding, painting and drying.

As promised here is my first DIY post, well technically it's not so much a DIY as a glam it up post. I purchased these gold painted ceramic pieces at a local Savers for only $4 about a year and a half ago. My eye was originally drawn to their old Hollywood feel. They lived in my Vegas themed bathroom at school. Upon moving out they sat unused because they didn't fit with my room decor. So I had an aha! moment. WHY NOT PAINT THEM?

So I took this...

Primed it [white] and painted it!

The black fits much better with the rest of the decor in my room and when I move out, they'll easily fit with my new place [hopefully]

So I hope this post has given you an idea to paint something in your procession that used to work with your decor and now just sits unused. Don't be afraid to take the worse that could happen is that you have to paint ti back to the original color. I'm already thinking of ways to glam them up even more. Hmm maybe so glitter or highlight colors....
