So I started by priming and painting in one of my favorite colors, steeple gray.
When it was done it looked like this. Cute, but I wanted it to have more UMPH!
I love the Dogwood tree and have done a couple paintings of them. So I thought what if I do a big version. So I started painting.
and painting and then distressing.
Until it looked like this. I love how it turned out. I know I have heard other fellow bloggers say they don't like to
do different things to furniture because it makes it hard to sell. But painting my furniture with my paintings
makes me SOOO happy, that it doesn't bother me that it takes a while to sell these items. I know that when they
do sell they go to just the right person. Where the personality matches the furniture.

Love this - dog woods are near and dear to my heart as they are the provincial flower of British Columbia, where I grew up (I live in Ontario, now).
