This friday I give you a project from my Delft story.
Its a great way to make a drab vase into something fab.
Use painters tape to cover the parts you want to preserve.
The rest you paint with two coats of dull oil based paint. Let it dry between each coats.
Pull of the tape and voila.....you have a very modern looking vase.

Loved the story in Country living! Really clean, fresh and stunningly beautiful. The way you painted the vase gives it such a modern edge. Love it! :-)

Great post! I've been wondering lately - why it seems like everybody has been looking in the same places for the inspiration and you give answers. Thank you for the insight!
