~*It's Chippy Paint Friday*~

This is the 6th segment of Chippy Paint Fridays !!
Make sure you visit Mary here. She's my sweet partner for these segments and she has a lovely blog with lots of pretty things to drool over!
Today I'm showing a faded chippy paint pink wooden pedestal, yep, that's right. I've had this pedestal for years and is so much fun to decorate with.



Can you see the pink chippy paint on the corner pieces? Beautiful patina!

Made of solid wood with deep decorative carvings in the wood.


As you can see there are cracks in the wood but does not interfere with it's stability.


The only pink paint that remains are on the top, bottom and corner pieces. The paint has naturally worn off the sides and is now the color of creamy beige, love the color. It blends in perfectly with our home decor.



Never stays in one place for very long, I move it it around from room to room. This pink pedestal is very heavy. I never pick it up to move, I push and shove it making grunting noises as I do it.:))

Today, me and my mom are going to California for three days. So excited!! We'll be hitting some flea markets and checking out some stores we have never been to before. I'll have my camera with me and I'll be snapping some pictures to share with all of you when we return.


I thank each and every one of you who has left me a comment, it truly means the world to me!! I sent an email to every person who left me a comment but something tells me that the email never went through. Can you please leave me a comment to let me know if you ever received an email from me as I need to try and find a solution to the problem if there is one.

Make it a great weekend, Janice

I love that pedestal, Janice! I don't know how you make something almost falling apart look so amazing! Okay, it's not falling apart to you, but that's the way I USED to look at these chippy things - but not anymore! LOL! And I love the pretty pitcher as well - it's perfect on the pedestal! Have a great time in California! I wish you come up here to see me, but I know it's too far. Email me and tell me where all you're going! Hugs, Mary
