Can't get enough of this color and my new workshop!!!!

I'm on a turquoise color kick! I just love this color from the 

Real Milk Paint co.  They call it cobalt but it's this stunning shade of turquoise. 

This 100 yr old buffet was in great condition. 

I didn't want to cover up the wood but just wanted to enhance it a bit. 

 I forgot to snap a pic before I started.  The wood is quarter sawn oak and hardly needed any

attention. I sanded the doors and drawers and went over them with some stain that

matched the body. Painted with the milk paint. Oh I forgot, I actually did a first coat

with the color "peacock" and then did my second coat in cobalt.  I didn't want the color

to be too bright and I like the greenish-blue underneath.

I have to post a pic of my new garage makeover-workbench area!  Everything was done with stuff

we already had laying around the garage. The wood flooring on the wall has been up in the rafters

for 5 years! Wasn't enough to really do anything with so why not bling up the workspace area?!

 Mr Pretty built me the new work bench and put the wood on the wall. I stained and sealed, as usual!

 And this is what started it all....the tankless water heater! I still have to do something with that corner.

I reused the cabinet on the left to store all my paints and stuff. And I made a chalkboard on the front! 

Of course, I got left with the clean-up and organization part. I swear, it took me 8-10 hours to clean

up, reorganize and put things together.  What a job! But I love it now!

                                 Ok.....back to my buffet!

Everything got a coat of natural tung oil when I was through. That's it! 

This was the only side that got this "chippiness".

I love the details on this piece.
