Hammered Rosemary


Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint, wooden boxes, metallic finish
There's a new racy dame in town.


Her name is Hammered Rosemary.

I am not cheating on Sweet Pea.



Hammered Rosemary is the opposite of pink.

A metallic green.

With a hammered look.

After using her for a few projects, I might just forgive Rust-Oleum for throwing Sweet Pea to the curb.

Read about Sweet Pea here  and here.






I always buy wooden boxes - no matter the size.

Usually distress them.

Usually stamp them or stencil them or decoupage them.


But this time I spray painted them.


With Hammered Rosemary.

I love her name.

It sort of makes me thirsty for a cold cocktail of lemon vodka with crushed rosemary.

Except it has been years since I drank anything.

The drink would probably hammer me.







One box hammered by Rosemary.











 


Next up - a divided box.


















Two boxes hammered by rosemary.

This went on for awhile.

I'll just show you three boxes.

For now.












A closer look.




















I am loving Rosemary.















Such a beautiful finish.


















No distressing required.










I have chosen something besides the boxes to hammer with Rosemary.

I hope to finish this week.

Go get hammered with Rosemary.

She can be addicting.

See y'all!

  8. OOO -- she IS pretty!! :)

    Maybe you could petition Rust-o-leum on their Facebook page to bring Sweet Pea back. Sorry I didn't find any for you - I asked. The paint folks said they could try matching it.

  11. I know it's not a replacement for your Sweet Pea....but it really is a yummy color. Love the texture it brings to a piece. Guess I will be on the lookout for some Hammered Rosemary myself. Might need to buy stock in the paint, cause all us girls are going to be buying it. :)

  13. I can't pass wood boxes up either, especially divided ones like these. I haven't used a hammered metal paint in a while. You got great results with it! Thank you for sharing this and your pretty tray and bookstore trip at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a great week!

    Blessings,
    Deborah
