Two stumps and a plant

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I was...well working on my tan, and I did a great job!!:)) Having my  own yard really works for me!!
Today I show you some stuff I painted...again!! Remember I really wanted stumps in the house? Well, I finally began working on some tree stumps hubby brought home and, after letting them dry a bit , I decided to use some stain I had left over from the stairs. One stump was stained and then I used a cloth to wipe the excess, and after I did this twice, I painted the top in white paint; here's how it looks now in the living room:








For the other stump I didn't wipe off the stain, I applied two coats and let it dry. On the top I used Annie Sloan Pure White, it looks better than the other one painted in oil-based paint. Chalk Paint is more matte, and I think it suits my taste better. But the top of the stump was the last thing painted in Pure White, as I finished all my sample with other projects...Here is the other tree stump in my bedroom:




Our hallway upstairs is preety much bare, it needs a runner, a mirror some art and ...well, a lot of other stuff, but the first thing I put was a plant!! Yeyyy for green!!





I painted the pot Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, a black I mixed up myself and drew a simple pattern using white and some fuchsia... My sister said it looked like a child drew it!!:)) I like it.. simple and fun....

That's it, folks!! Have a great week!!

xoxo,
Ozana

  3. Oh I love this. I too have stumps that are in my cottage and in the garage there, they have been drying out all winter. I haven't decided if I was just going to varnish them as now they have greyed in colour or stain or paint them. Yours turned out great and I hadn't thought of using chalk paint on the top, which looks fabulous by the way. I am also doing a chalk paint project which I'll be sharing soon. Cheers!

  5. There will probably come a point when you have got to remove a tree from your back yard garden.
    That's a challenge but the more significant difficulty is taking away the tree stump that will remain.
    It is essential to eliminate it or else you're going to bring in
    unwanted pests to your backyard garden (and usually your home) so you need to consider your options for this.
