Marsala Makeover

Ok, I admit it, I was a Marsala hater when I first found out it was the Color of the Year. Reds aren’t usually my jam and I never planned on using it. That is until Porch and Valspar asked if I wanted to participate in their 10 Days of Valentines and I just couldn’t say no!
Valspar sent us a GALLON of Marsala. I seriously don’t know what I’m going to do with the rest of this paint. And Porch sent us a mystery object which ended up being a stencil.
I really wanted to do some sort of cute Valentine’s Day craft but I just couldn’t think of one. And I mean, come on, I had a GALLON of paint. So I painted some furniture :)
I started out by giving the piece a light sanding and then applying a couple coats of primer. I followed that with about 4 coats of Marsala to get good, even coverage and the whole piece was sealed using General Finishes Satin Topcoat.
Using my little mini plunger, as I like to call it, I used some more Marsala to apply this fun stencil to the inside.
I'm so glad I got to be a part of this challenge and discover how beautiful Marsala can be! What do you think about the 2015 Color of the Year?
