Joy to the World !
Happy 2022! Here’s to a year filled with peace, love,
butterflies, twinkling stars, sunbeams and everything bright
and colorful. Make it a joyful year! To kick it off, today we’re featuring a fun whimsical novelty side
chest that is sure to give you a smile:
What do you do with an odd piece of furniture
that’s great for storage and can fit into any space but lacks pizazz? Make it whimsical! This occasional side chest
started out as basic creamy vanilla. The homeowner thought of tossing it out
but loved the size since it could fit into almost any room in their home. It’s
basic no more! It’s now a conversation piece featuring colorful quirky
underwater creatures
Sea Turtles are one of the most beloved creatures here in SW Florida. The edges are painted in a black and white pattern to tie in with other art pieces and dishes in the home:
Colorful jellyfish float along one side of the cabinet. Each foot and trim section is painted in happy colors:
The opposite side of the chest features this cute little guy ( he was inspired by my pet fish, Oscar ) The green seaweed is painted onto all sections including over the feet and trim pieces to give it a comprehensive feel.
Sweet seahorses grace the front doors of the side chest. The top drawer was inspired by an art piece in the home and gives the chest additional whimsy.
There are several wall hung storage cabinets to be hung, This is the first one completed. Each one will be a different color scheme based on which room and are it will be hung. Each one will be bursting with color:
For the knobs on both the side chest and wall cabinet, it was an added bonus that one of the homeowner's hobbies is collecting knobs. That was a delightful discovery! The knobs on the side chest are from her collection. For the knobs on the wall cabinet I painted the knobs and then painted and glued on starfish pieces I found among the knobs:
There are more pieces coming from this fun colorful home. Hopefully the pieces will inspire you to bring some whimsy and quirkiness into your home. Make 2022 burst with color and joy !
