Retro Bedsides - Ombre / Colour Block, Call it what you like!

A few weeks ago I picked up these great bedside tables at my local op shop...

I seem to be attracted to orange furniture :) It is just every where round me, op shops, on  the road side... even in my home! Anyway, I loved the shape of the draws and new they'd perfect for an ombre kind of treatment, but with a little twist.

I have to tell you that I was originally planning to use the blue as the bottom colour and graduate the colour up. But when I painted it that first draw I wasn't convinced. So then I painted the grey, and the same thing happened. I was kind of annoyed when I painted the black one, but when I put them together it worked! Happy accident I guess!

These say boys room to me, but of course you could use them anywhere. I'm really tempted to sell one and keep the other for Harry, given my little man doesn't have a whole lot going on in his bedroom just yet (in case you're wondering, he's 2. I know, he will have some kind of decorated room by the time he's 5, promise!)

I have another ombre project on the go at the moment, I'm on a bit of a roll wit it ;)

Thanks for stopping by,
