Paint Something

Elmer's glue and food coloring mixed together and painted on glass can apparently create this look I found on Pinterest.

I've not tried this yet, but I have a few previous posts showing other ways to color glass. 
Some day maybe I'll need these looks and try one or more of these options. 
Those previous posts are -

Modge Podge and food coloring,

spray painted bottles, and

Glass paint.

 I always love the idea of spray painting.
There is a Quick Guide to Spray Painting Glass at Dishfunctional Designs.

And try Krylon's thediyclub and scroll down for several things Pretty In Paint.


Another post about spray painting - from Centsational Girl.

Are these painted? They look like they could be spray painted white.

It's a lovely look non-the-less. Such cute and delicate colors and flowers.

Here's a cute little unit - a shelf of bottles. Now, that sounds crazy, just look at the big cupboard that those cute little shelves are on! I like it too, but I have one of these little shelves with bottles and drawers in my laundry room ... it holds buttons. I saw this look from My Scrap Room

then this look from Kara's Party Ideas

Here is what mine looks like. Notice the little shelf above it too - just a row of bottles.

They are handy little units. Maybe someday I'll refinish them and love the look even more. Hmmm! What Color?

Info on How to Paint Over Varnish could be helpful sometime. It sounds so easy.

Now, take a look at this Awesome Paisley Table from Domestic Imperfection ...

I have an bedside table/night stand much like the one in this next photo. Mine is a little less boxy and has a bit more detail (groves/layers) that make it a bit trickier. I've been toying with the idea of painting mine a gray, blue, or white distress look. I've been too worried to start the project because I am not sure how the finished project will look, I'm not sure it will be worth the many hours of work for every piece, and I have a hard time thinking that I want to destroy the original look. I have the whole bedroom set (two night stands, headboard, foot board, dresser, chest of drawers with a large heavy wall mirror) so it's a big project. It was my mother and father's set first - so it's also a bit sentimental ... ya, I do that!

I'm saving this look from Restore Interiors so that maybe it can help me make up my mind someday. 

 I found another night stand much like the one above, and a little more like mine, though still different ...   It gives the look of a different color.  It's from Jordyn Luise Blog.

 You'll find a picture of mine in previous posts:

in this post here - beside my bed. 

Oh! To Paint ... or Not To Paint?  That is the question!?!?!?
