Easter time is a great time to celebrate the whimsical pastels such as this French Lilac from Painter's Touch 2X!  This is a wooden old fruit stand which I quickly turned into a spirngtime center piece!  Added a few friendly chicks along with maiden grass and we are now ready to celelbrate spring and Easter.  With Painter's Touch 2X, even if  you find the right piece but not the exact color you had in mind you can simply spray paint your piece and enjoy the perfect color for your project!

As you can see the deep cherrywood needed to be sealed and with Zinner's BIN Primer it was quick and easy.  I did wipe the bowl down with paint thinner and allowed it to fully dry.  Spray two light coats of the primer and saw that the deep red cherrywood was bleeding through the first coating.  By the second coating, the primer had done it's job and sealed it in.  No bleeding.  Here is how the process went along:

With one last final coat - It was easy to dress up the bowl and have displayed the napkin holder with greens and closer to Easter I will place whmsical "real" eggs in them!  Happy Spring.

Angie's philosophy is simple: take on projects that are affordable and easily achievable. Look for inspiration in magazines and make the projects your own. Hers are real projects for real people and they don't require you to have a background in art. Test
