The other day I was sitting on my couch perusing through a catalog when I flipped to a page that made me stop in my tracks. OK, so I know you don't really make tracks when you're sitting on the couch eating a cookie, but I liked the dramatic effect that sentence added : ) Anyhoo... Gracing this page was the most beautiful figure I've seen in a long time. Curvacious and AMAZINGLY toned. I stared at it... It stared back... For what seemed like forever (actual time: 5 minutes) I sat there staring... contemplating... Was it even at all possible for me to achieve a figure as beautiful as this?!? Motivation struck! I set down my cookie (OK, so I stuffed the rest of it in my mouth as though it was the last cookie I would ever have in my whole entire life - please don't judge me:) ), I got up and changed my clothes, and then I got to work. With a little bending, some stretching, and a whole lot of perspiring this is how my figure looks now...
Isn't she lovely?!?
Here's what she looked like before...
A little too pale & gold for my taste. This was a lamp I inherited from my Nana about 2 years ago. I loved the lines but the color left much to be desired. I thought about painting it a million times but I was trigger shy PLUS I didn't want to harbor the guilt of ruining yet another one of Nana's treasured possessions - why did I paint that perfectly good mirror?!?
Here's the picture that motivated me to grab my ORB spray paint...

I LOVE the dramatic curves and the bronzish/goldish/ironish tone!
Here's one more look at my curvacious figure : )
Well worth the
10 minutes of hard work!
Happy Friday!
Until next time...
