Repainting Paint by Numbers (frames)

Before I get to showing the next part of my Florida study, 

I want to take a little side trip.....

Now let me just start by reminding you guys just how fabulous I am....

I am a BIG NAME decorator!!!!!

I have been in too many magazines to count!!!!!

(yes, I can too count higher than three)

I've been on 6 magazine covers, that's right ladies and gents...6!

countless newspaper stories....

TV.......

and I have written two books.....(feel free to buy one or two or more)

Soooooooo.......

I am very smug when it comes to my decorating abilities.

The other day I was shopping at Crate and Barrel with my buddy Lissette.....

We were looking at the drapery panels that I have been hounding her to get for 2 years.

I don't go into retail stores too much anymore, as I have more stuff than I'll ever need.....

BUT EVERYTHING WAS SO PRETTY AND SHINY AND NEW!!!!

And my plastic glasses were all cracked and cloudy.....

And theirs were sooooooo nice.

So, I bought 9 of the smaller ones.

I wasn't sure I had the cabinet space, but Lissette assured me that I had room for 9.

When I got home, sure enough.....

I only had room for 6, so I was going to return the 3 extra ones, and would just make sure never to have more than 5 friends at a time.

If I found myself being nice to a 6th person, I would just nip that @#$ in the bud, 'cuz I would only have 6 glasses, and one was for MOI.

Now, you're probably thinking.....

Just 'cuz you have more than 5 friends, doesn't mean you have to invite them all over at the same time.....

But I don't like to leave anyone out!!!!!

It's just easier not to have a lot of friends.

wait.....where was I????? 9 glasses, only room for 6.....

This morning when I was thinking about returning them.....

(this is when it pays to be a big time decorator, even if I am retired!)

I REALIZED THAT THEY STACK, 

'CUZ THEY BE PLASTIC!!!!

You know, it's not every menopausal babe who would admit

 to being this clueless!!!!! 

OK!!!

BACK TO DECORATING!!!

I had figured that it would take me a while to get around to painting the white frames of my newly arranged tropical paint by numbers gallery wall.

Remember?????

It was this.....

But I decided to get off my @$$ and head to my garage workshop and paint them, so I could write about them and astound you guys with my energy and ambition!!!!!

The white was too much of a contrast with everything else, it needed to be softened. 

I mixed up my acrylic paints to match the color of the frames of the red parrots...

Here is a glamour shot of my work-space!!!!

So, after some trial and error, I mixed a color pretty close to the other frames, and then hung these babies back up.

 white frames                                 beige frames

Little changes that create a more harmonious arrangement.... 
And no.....
I didn't photo shop them, I really painted them!!!!!
I was going to write more, but I'm tired.
I HAD MY HAIR CUT TODAY,
I HATE GETTING MY HAIR CUT.
(and colored)
It's boring and tiring and smelly and annoying.


OY!!!!
I'll finish this on Saturday.
Later Gator
