A Paint Project Gone Wrong

Last weekend while it was nasty out I decided to tone down the color on the kitchen bar stools. Might as well do something productive since I was stuck inside....right?

Remember these mismatched farmhouse style stools?

I painted them gray on the bottom with charcoal seats. Painting bar stools is about as bad as painting chairs because of all the rungs. Not fun, but needed to be done.

These are stools I have picked up here and there for very little money so painting them to change them up is an easy change, but just time consuming.

So after painting three stools with two coats of paint and then using wax on the seats and hemp oil on the legs I realized I hate the color of them against the cabinets and floor. Especially when the sun came in late in the afternoon the cabinets have a yellow tone plus the floor and these were just all wrong.

Normally I am very good at choosing paint colors, but not this time. The cabinet color in these shots does not look as yellowy green as it does in person. The paint colors I chose are just too blue. You can see how blue this one looks.

So what to do? Well, I tell you the rest of the story in part two. Do you think I painted them again?

In other news if you follow me on facebook then some of you know, and thank y'all for the well wishes, that Miss Bailey had surgery yesterday on her knee for a luxating patella. The vet said she did very well. She stays till Friday afternoon and then the fun begins. For two months I have to keep her from jumping, running and no steps.  It will be easy at first as she will be all bandaged up, but when her leg is better he said I will have to show tough love. That's for sure because she loves to jump up on the furniture.

Sorry Bailey, no sleeping on the stairs for awhile.
