My client Erika has a little girl that has a birthday coming up and she wanted to have her baby doll cradle painted. I have some amazing clients who have all been very laid back and a pleasure to work for but I think Erika might win the award for being the most laid back. I asked her what shade of pink she wanted and as we were walking about of the playroom she picks up a block and says, "Uh, something like this...I'm really not picky". Seriously, most laid back and easygoing award goes to Erika!
BEFORE
AFTER
I used homemade chalk paint because I foresee this cradle getting lots of use and the paint will hold up well.
I also distressed along the edges.
I hope Erika's little girl loves her updated baby doll crib and has a great birthday!

Thank you so much Bec. Hearing things like that makes my day!
DeleteThank you, Holly!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I can't believe I found this...I was looking for ideas to paint my daughters doll cradle for my granddaughter. This is the same cradle and you used the same color pink paint! I can see it now...I think I will take it further though and add a thin white wash coat and white and pastel stencils with an antique glaze. I think I can do this...thank you!
ReplyDeleteHahaha.... I love that movie! (Definitely creepy!)
