New and Improved!

Nope, not my furniture as seen in yesterday's post! It's makeup. My mom is here helping me get the Lisha Lynn supply restocked and everytime I have to fill my supply, I can't help but play around with the colors. I haven't had any complaints in 6 years of business, so I guess everyone agrees with me, an improvement is an improvement!
I started with Dark Plum eyeshadow and it is basically the same, just brighter and sparklier. More plummy!
Then I did Brown Shimmer Blush, I actually have pics of this one! The old one I was never excited about

(pic of it on the bowl) and today I threw a little of this and a little of that into it, and voila, it was BETTER. So I added some bronze, brown micas with lots of interference (gold, bronze, copper undertones) and then on a whim threw in a baby pink interference color which was amazing! So, the color on the left is the old, the one on the right is the new! The old is yellowish undertone and the new is more cool undertones and has blues and pinks which brighten anyone's complexion!

I'm still working on getting better pics. I can only do so much people!!! Typing this up while Rylan is feeding. Poor baby, his head bobs on my arm as I type. LOL
The wonders of multitasking!

Before and During - my first furniture ReDo!

So, I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head!! Knowing that things never go as planned (or at least with my husband's projects), I told him to give me about a week to get the table sanded, primed and painted. He thought it would take a couple of days. But, we didn't take humidity, stupidity (my total ignorance on this subject) into consideration. So, it's been over a week and I've sanded and painted almost everyday ;) and the table is no closer to being done that it was a day after I started. uh huh I'm a pro.

I don't have a current pic, but the table is a smudged up mess of white enamel. Evidently painting in the garage wasn't a great idea. It's inside now and at the risk of being a real hoosier, I'm thinking of just using as is, rough up the edges, give it the distressed look and call it a learning experience. But, I know me. That won't happen. I won't be able to stand to look at the uneven dried paint and would be sanding the table in the middle of the living room one day because it got on my nerves. Now I have to decide whether to grind it down and start over or sand and spray the thing instead of brushing it! It just feels like cheating if I don't paint it by hand. Oh well!

New Blog!!

I'm changing the name of my blog to Lish's Dish. I've changed alot in the last couple of years and it's high time I get back in the swing of things with a shiny new blog! My husband says it's too bright. Well, he actually said I could try something "more subtle." But, I'm a very subtle person in real life and if I can't have bold color on a blog, than where else can I have it??? It's not like I painted the walls bright blue..............
