The color of the year

I can't tell you my excitement when I went to the CSI project and discovered that the color of the year was honeysuckle.  Oh my gosh, I have that color in my home...I love that color.  I then realized I have done a project in that color and I can enter the challenge.  My daughter's room is  done in shades of honey suckle.  I painted the walls the darker color, and added stripes and stencils in different shades of that color.  This was of course a very fun thing to do...but the best part of the whole project was painting her armoir.  I had an old black armoir that we were no longer going to use.  I decided to have my hubby bring it up to her room, and in one nap time I transformed the drab black into pink fab!  I took the extra paint I had  used already in her room and went to work painting.  I wanted it to have a very shabby chic look, kind of princessey of course.  I knew I wanted it old and distressed looking, so I took a paper towel, rolled on the paint and started wiping off the excess, pretty soon I was just painting with the paper towel.  She loves it, and I did the whole project for free!

Today I am linking up with the CSI project.
