My mom gave me their plastic peacock wall art the other day, which I've been wanting for along time. I decided to paint it white. I hung it on our newly painted kitchen wall.
Finished Project:
I was too impatient to get the project complete I forgot to take a good before shot. Here is my in progress and the before shot. See all the bright colors pretty and fun but I think seeing it in complete white makes it soo beautiful!! My goal is to find some white milk glass plates to hang 3 on either side I think that would complete the whole wall.
Here we are day 5 of our vacation and just now getting to paint with color!!! It has been a tiring staycation (LOL hubby came up with that one) but we're liking the color more and more and are happy to be done!!! Well except we still need a second coat...Hopefully we'll accomplish that today.

Well we're on day 3 of vacation day 2 of working on the kitchen. A friend of ours, Beth, a professional painter gave us some pointers on where to get started today. The walls from taking the wallpaper down were beyond SCARY!!! We weren't sure what the heck we were thinking LOL!! She instructed us to prime over everything and that will show us better where we need to spackle and sand etc.

Still a work in progress today we have Jack so we're playing and running errands. We will probably get alittle more done while he takes his nap and again when he goes to bed tonight. Tomorrow will be a bigger progress day. Things are definitely gettin difficult as the 2 layer of wallpaper (original to the house) is stuck on there pretty darn good. Looks like we might have to skim coat all the surfaces. YIKES!!! We are going to have to beg our friend to come over and help us with that part :)
