Painted with Praise

✨ THE SISTERS ✨
“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
— Psalm 139:14 💙

Meet “The Sisters”—a beautiful dresser and chest of drawers that were made to complement each other! 💕 I love how furniture can be given a new life, and these two certainly received a beautiful transformation.

🎨 Paint:
Both pieces were painted in Wise Owl Snow Owl, purchased from Roses Untold Stories at The Thrifty Turtle. The gorgeous teal was a custom mix of Snow Owl and Debi’s Design Diary DIY Bohemian Blue that I purchased Pineapple Picasso creating the perfect shade to complement the teal tones in the transfer.

🌿 Transfer:
The stunning re•design by Prima “In Truth Beauty” rub-on transfer adds so much character and beauty. This gorgeous transfer was purchased from Etsy.

🌹 The details:
I poured my own resin roses and covered them with Kacha’s Imitation Gold Leaf, then carried that beautiful gold detail down to the feet of both pieces. ✨

Both pieces were sealed with Wise Owl Matte Varnish for a durable, beautiful finish.

And let’s talk about the drawers! 🥰 The insides received a fresh scent of Wise Owl White Tea Furniture Salve. Oh, how I wish you could smell this! It not only leaves the drawers smelling wonderful, but it also helps revitalize dry wood. 💕
The two Sisters will be going into Cape Coral re:MADE

Doing something I have never donebefore, painting on my bathroom wall. I am on day 4 and I just looked down at my paint table . What a mess!!! Made me think of the Matthew West song “ My Story Your Glory” there is a line in the song that says

My story, Your glory. My pain, Your purpose. My mess, Your message."
I see the mess but God sees the beautiful flower. Eventually there will be an end process to this project but for now I see the mess. God is constantly writing our story …… keep going , may be a mess now but God is not finished with you yet.

My Last Bookcase: A Labor of Love & A Little Faith ✨

My latest bookcase is complete, and I wanted to share the process behind this vintage wallpaper-inspired piece!

I started by painting the body and shelves with Debi’s Design Diary DIY Clay Paint in Vintage Linen. I primed the back wall with Wise Owl Primer, which gives the raised stencil something to grip onto.

Next, I mixed joint compound with a little Dixie Belle Sea Spray to thicken the compound. I had purchased these beautiful tropical leaf stencils from JRV (Jamie Ray Vintage) some time ago and thought they would be perfect for this bookcase. 🌿

I placed the stencil where I wanted it, applied a thin layer of the compound, and carefully lifted the stencil. Once the raised leaves were completely dry, I lightly sanded them smooth. I then sprayed Krylon Clear Matte over each leaf to help prevent the joint compound from lifting while I painted.

Now the fun really began! 🎨

I painted Wise Owl Celtic Fog that I purchased fromRoses Untold Stories at The Thrifty Turtle over the raised stencil, giving it two coats. Then I added color washes of Debi’s Design Diary DIY Clay Paint in Walk on Water, Monet’s Garden, and Bohemian Blue to each individual leaf. All DIY Clay paint was purchased Pineapple Picasso

Once that dried, I dry-brushed Wise Owl Blush over the raised leaves to bring out their beautiful shapes. I finished by brushing on a little Debi’s Design Diary DIY Golden Ticket for just the right touch of shimmer. ✨

My goal was to create the look of vintage wallpaper, and I love how the layers of color and texture came together!

Finally, I protected the entire piece with two coats of Wise Owl Matte Clear Coat.

And, of course, this project is about more than paint and furniture. As I finish this chapter, this verse reminds me that faith means believing even when we can’t yet see the finished picture.

Romans 4:20–21 (KJV)
“And he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”

Proverbs 27:17 🩵

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

This piece is dedicated to my Cape Coral re:MADE family. ❤️

Just as two pieces of iron rub together to remove dullness and become sharp, people sharpen and improve one another through close connection, encouragement, and fellowship. I’m so thankful for the people God has placed in my life who challenge me, encourage me, inspire me, and help me grow!

For this piece, I had so much fun layering color and texture! 🎨

✨ I used all Debi’s Design Diary DIY Clay Paint, purchased from Pineapple Picasso

The layers:
🌸 First coat — Petal Pusher
🤍 Second color — Vintage Linen
❤️ Third color — Marquee
💙 Then I covered all those beautiful colors with Hey Sailor

I added Sea Spray Texture Additive, purchased from Cape Coral re:MADE to all the paint colors to create that amazing texture.

Then came the fun part! I added Numbered Decoupage Paper, purchased from Roses Untold Stories at Thrifty Turtle.

And to protect it all, I finished the piece with Wise Owl Top Coat, also purchased from .

But wait until you see what happened when I brought out the carbide scraper! 😍

By gently scraping back the textured layers, I was able to reveal all those gorgeous colors hiding underneath. Each layer peeking through tells its own little story—just like the people who sharpen and shape us along the way. 💙❤️🤍🌸

I love how this piece turned out, and I love that it carries a message of faith, friendship, creativity, and community.

This one will be available for purchase at Cape Coral re:MADE! 🏡✨
