Coral is such a pretty shade. I would describe it as kind of an orangey pink, which is funny because actual coral, like from the bottom of the ocean, comes in trabillions of colors. That would be like taking a particular shade of yellow and naming it “Rainbow.” I have a piece of coral from the Bahamas. It’s black and looks like a dead weed. I don’t know where I’m going with this other than to say, hey look! Here are some coral-colored makeovers for you today!
Up first is this dresser from Stephanie, which she painted … you guessed it … coral. Coral coral, not dead weed colored coral. I love the simple new pulls, gold and coral together are always a sure bet!
See it at The Styled Soul.
And speaking of gold, if you need a place to easily store yours, why not use this wild-wild-west-themed shelf? I sense your stares of dubiousness, but scroll onward and you will see how Kelly sent the cowboys riding off into the sunset by flipping it upside down and covering the mirror with fabric and chicken wire. She added paint and mini tart-pans, and faster than you can say ‘get along little doggies,’ it’s a jewelry storage system! Yeehaw!

May 21, 2015 at 5:07 PMMy funny coral story: I was snorkeling in St. Kitts, and my vision is really, really bad without my glasses. I had purchased a waterproof bag for my camera, and I was trying to take pictures, but I couldn’t really tell what I was photographing. Most of the fish I could see were swimming away before I could get the shot, but there was this one fish that stayed put, so I was able to get lots of pictures. Later, when I looked back at my photos, I realized that the “fish” was actually a small piece of white fan coral. :-/
That dresser makeover is amazing. It’s hard to believe that’s the same dresser.
