Welcome to this week's
Color of the Week post. This is a new color for me and so I've only got two pieces to share.
I bought this sample of Martha Stewart's Sea Anemone back in November when I was trying to choose paint color for my bedroom makeover. It looked terrible as a swatch on my wall, and I just didn't care to try it on anything I wanted to sell. Week after week, I kept reaching around it as I chose another color. Poor Sea Anemone. I finally decided to give it a try when I felt it was time to start listing more Beach Cottage items. I'm glad I did! It looks so much better than it did on my wall! Out of my beachy colors, this one is my favorite. It's a very pale blue. Almost like a white with just a hint of blue.
Here are the two pieces I've done with it so far.
Here's a neat little tidbit about the pedestal bowl.
The BEFORE bowl, was thrifted and given to me by my sweet friend and fellow SC blogger, Leslie, and it was purchased by another SC blogger, Carrie, with a Speckled Dog @ Etsy giftcard she won last fall. Cool, huh?

That pedestal bowl is staying in the family, huh?

That is a gorgeous color on the items you painted - poor sea anemone came through at last! Thanks for sharing the beauty over at Between Naps on the Porch.

I love that color, but what really brought me to visit was that adorable pedestal. I have one almost exactly like it: http://www.bandbsnestinteriors.com/2011/04/easter.html. You did a fantastic job on these pieces! Thanks so much for sharing. I wrote that paint color on my list of "must trys"! Xo Laura at bandbsnestinteriors.com
