Painting A French Phone-Yes I Did

The joke in our family is that if you 

stand still long enough you will probably

get spray painted.

As you know-in the past I painted a

TV set here.

TVs? Telephones?
No problem!

Both begin with a T, right?

IF I can paint a TV I can most certainly

paint a TELEPHONE.

See?

Want to see more, do you?

My friend, Ruthie, was donating the phone..

I said...Whoa Baby-

This will be perfect for Lulu's 

Paris Themed Bedroom.

You cam see more of that here

It had been stored for a long while

and had yellowed considerably and 

was a bit the worse for wear.

Not so pretty there, huh?

I took apart the section that held the numbers

and decided to leave the gold plate that

surrounded the letters.

The gold ring just popped off.

I covered the number with stickers to keep the paint off them.

It was a nice day so I set up outside

because I never spray paint in the garage

I am SUCH a liar

It took 2 light coats of Cream Satin paint.

Look how cute it turned out!

I think Lulu is going to LOVE it, don't you?

If I can part with it!

If she doesn't see this post it's MINE!

oh-yeah- it works...

too bad her parents won't let her have a

 PHONE IN HER ROOM!

It'll look cute just sitting there anyway,

won't it?
