it's all about the hospitable home

August 8, 2012 By Shirley

For the love of an aqua chair…

While on a trip to Virginia….

~ ~ ~ ~ we made a side trip to the famous Lucketts Vintage Store.

I came home with this:

I knew I wanted to paint it a bright color…

~ ~ ~ ~ so off to the garage for a new “outfit”.

I bought a quart of Valspar paint in the color “Well Water”….

~ ~ ~ ~ not quite sure whey they called it “Well Water”.

So here it is…can you see it????

Beautifully tucked in among the plants…

    Hello again, princess!,
    I’m not sure why one has to go through a second step when leaving a comment at your blog. First you fill out your name, email address and blog and then you get another form asking for your WordPress user name and password. Have you tried commenting on your blog?

    Shirley, I love the chair and the color. I can never figure where they get these names for colors.I can’t think of one just now but some don’t evoke a thought of any color.
    What ever they call it, it works. Looks fab in that corner with the beautiful pothos.
    I will be attending the conference and I will be linking up.
    Blessings, Ginger

    Love the Well Water on your porch Shirley! I always thought it would be a fun job to name paints or OPI nail polish shades!

    It looks fantastic, Shirley. Love the color, too. But, Well Water? I’m with you about how they arrive at some of the names.

    I love your chair’s new outfit! The pop of turquoise in the corner of your porch really brings the space to life. Crazy paint name – I’ve never seen well water that looks like that! ;0)
