Thank you so much for all of your nice and encouraging comments on my Christmas signs!
Last month I showed you the red headboard bench I painted for the
My Color Inspired by Pantone party.
I had ordered some embellishments to add to the back and trim but they didn't arrive in time me to show you with the reveal.
I ordered a floral spray to add to the seat back:
...and a bit of trim to the seat edge:
This red really is this bright and cheery in real life.
I didn't adjust the hue when I was editing the photos! I did feel like my eyeballs were about to permanently see red though!
;)
Here's a look at the new embellishments, and what it looked like a month ago, without:
So fun and simple, yet it really adds a nice finish to the look.
The wood embellishments are from Do It Yourself Chic.
They are a really unique product- they aren't wood, they are a flexible material that is paintable.
I applied wood glue to the trim, and then put them in place with painter's tape until the glue dried.
Once it was dry, I painted two coats of the Tomato Red, and it now has a charming addition to the seat back and front edge!
I didn't receive any compensation of any kind for writing this post, just sharing a product and the results I got using it.
Have you tried any of Do It Yourself Chic's products?
I love some of the crowns I saw when I was choosing pieces for this bench!
Hoping I have a project soon where I can use one of them.
:)
Still working away at finishing stuff for the show!
I hope to get one more post in before set up on Friday.
Talk to you soon~

Really pretty bench--I love Do it yourself chic! The pillow looks nice on it. That color would look great with some Cath Kidston fabric :)!
