Outside Studio Tour

I have been wanting to share my favorite place. A place where I spend time painting, potting, dreaming and spending time with family. My outside studio. It actually is a patio off my indoor studio. I will be opening that old screen door in the coming weeks and show you what is inside. A lot of DIY, vintage finds and more!

Let me start with the urns outside my studio. You can't see them in the first picture, but the beautiful ferns are sitting in the urns. Yes, sitting, I buy my ferns, usually at Lowe's and just sit the pot they come in, in the urns.
These are huge cement urns. Lowe's had just these two at the end of the season, sitting out front for less than $20.00 each. I watched them like a hawk, until my husband had gone into the store and paid for them and we loaded them into our vehicle. I love bargains!
Distressing:
1. Start by drilling a hole through the bottom of the urn.
2. Paint with dark brown oil enamel.
3. Paint with white paint. Spray with water while painting and brush, brush, brush.
4. Random gold leaf.
5. Turquoise patina (I make my patina by mixing paint and deluding with water). Spray with water while painting and brush, brush, brush.
6. I used a strong tea stain next.
7. Spray with varnish.

I love, love, love your flamingo pink chairs! Such a great bright spot. That was a great deal on those urns. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see more of your outside studio and what you do there.
