Hibiscus Kiss

I have loved, loved, loved this paint (Hibiscus Kiss).  At first, I thought it would be too blue for my taste, but it is one of those color tones that is more soothing than invigorating.

I still have a bit left for smaller projects, but it’s time to move on to other crafts.  I’m sharing these last two projects to show you how a coat of paint & some Mod Podge design can transform old things into new.  

This tray is another old office desk in/out box.  This one will go to my friend who was with me when I was paint shopping & she picked out the paint color.  The design is a cut-out napkin held in place with Modge Podge.

I added the same napkin design to each side.  The “feet” give it some lift.  I finished it off with the acrylic lacquer spray.  This will be perfect on her dresser to hold small items or in her bathroom for hand towels, lotion, & soap.

The next item was a black TV tray.  It functions perfectly as a little side table at the end of the couch to hold the TV remote & my coffee cup.  It just needed some love in the form of a coat of Hibiscus Kiss.

The top pattern is a pretty paper I picked up at Hobby Lobby.  I was attracted to the bright colors & didn’t know at the time how I would use it.  I just knew I liked it &  the idea would come later.  I also finished it off with the acrylic lacquer spray.  I love the transformation & now, my little table speaks to me.

I will find some smaller projects to use the rest of my paint, but this color has served me well in giving some items a new life.  So, here’s to the many uses of a tiny jar of Hibiscus Kiss.
