Here we go

Let's just skip the explanation of why it's been months without a post and just jump right into it.
I want to share some mini projects I've been slowly working on just to keep my creativity alive in between all my hours spent working. First, night stand transformation:

So this is the lovely Moroccan night stand my mother got me years ago. And although I love the hand-painted design, it goes with nothing in my room. So, ding ding ding, idea time. I've decided to experiment with colors and pattern by covering the stand in the wonderful japanese washi masking tape. Here's the start:


The lighting makes the colors blur together a bit, but you get the idea. I'm still decided how to go about the rest of the body but I'm sure if I just start it will come together. And the cool thing is since it's masking tape I can easily peel it right off whenever I want, to start over or just go back to the original. Magic!

Stay tuned, I guess?
