Last time I blogged I was still trying to figure out how the heck to paint a perfect circle on the wall behind the stove. This problem plagued me for three full days until I realized the top of one of those very cheap three legged tables was the exact size I needed- and I just happened to have an extra one on hand! So, I’d solved the first part of the problem, but still wanted a lime green circle in the middle of the bigger circle. Same problem, different color!
It really all comes down to using the right search terms in Google- “paint a circle on a wall” brought me lots of tips on how to draw a circle on a wall but not how to actually paint a perfect circle- which was the search term I really needed. It brought me to a blog entry by a company called Chroma Lab, which sells vintage furniture that’s been revitalized with fresh & funky paint patterns. Jackpot! ( Except for the part where I had to run all over town to auto parts stores trying to find the pinstriping tape required for the project!)
Here are some shots of the circle painting in progress…

The tape worked really well, but I still had to go back and make some fine corrections by hand. Still, I am very happy with the outcome! Problem solved!
I’m thinking I might put a glossy finish on it.
So here’s where we are now… almost done with repainting the checkerboard floor, and after looking at some of their projects, my mind was whirring with ideas for more projects of my own. I decided to have some fun with that table & stool- Chroma Lab style! I’ll be sure to share the photos when it’s done!
