One more Ore...

We have quite the selection of coastal décor in our home, one might think we actually live at the beach instead of Richmond.  Not yet!  I had purchased an ore some years back that I left a dark wood color that had rope around the neck.  It's hanging on our wall and I decided we needed one with some color!  I purchased an ore off of amazon for about $12 and here's the pic of the one I chose....

 

It actually was much lighter, a pine color, when it arrived.  I decided to paint it white as a base color so I sanded the surface to get it ready.  Here's what it looked like....

 

 

 

I taped off the areas I wanted to paint and chose a blue and yellow.  I had to make sure that all the tape was in a straight line all the way around the rounded part of the ore.  That was tricky but I made it work.  Here's the finished product.....

 

 

 

I sanded the edges and It turned out great.  In fact, I saved myself about $30-$40.  The ones I found on the internet that were  3-4ft in size were more than I wanted to spend.  So my solution, get creative and make it yourself!  I just love my new painted Ore!
