Think Pink Monday: Mel from Mellywood’s Mansion
If you’ve been following me for awhile you know that pink is my favourite colour, so while I take a bit of a break I asked a few bloggy friends if they would do some pink guest posts. Let’s just call them the Pink Ladies.
Pink is the word… is the word… is the word.
It’s got groove… it’s got meaning.
This week’s Pink Lady is Mel from Mellywood’s Mansion.
***************************
I only needed two of them for my craft room so I gave them a couple of coats of chalk paint. They need something else, I was thinking grain sack, but for the life of me I could not get them to line up and it was peeling the paint. So I left them white until further inspiration hits and the paint cures.
Then Tuula invited me to play, inspiration hit and I got the paint out again, TADA pink seats, but even better that, the stools inspired something else that caused my very mild mannered husband Jules to freak out!!
I’ll be posting that down the track, so if you want to find out what horrified him you’ll need to follow along at any of these fine places
Or hop over to the blog and check out what else is happening in my new craft room makeover like my fold out workspace. (just click the pictures)
Or try your hand at some knitting.
Thanks for having me Tuula and thanks to you guys for reading.

Thanks a million Mel. What a fabulous makeover! I just love your pink stools… and how awesome that they were freebies. I still adore those pink boots.

If you don’t know Mel you should really pop over to Mellywood’s Mansion and check it out. Be sure to say hi from me. She’s loads of fun and very talented too.
Please come back next Monday to see who the next Pink Lady is.
In the meantime…. Think Pink!
I'm still in love with those boots Mel – but those stools turned out gorgeous ( look at you go with a paintbrush in your hands!!! – so proud of you! )

Ha! Leave it to Mel to show up at the Thrifty Rebel in her Rebel Pink boots!! Nice job on those stools and what a find. I need neighbors like that!!
Seriously! I think your neighbors might be your fairy godmother! How awesome are those stools! Love the splash of pink Mel! Great post too!
Those stools are adorable!! Love the boots, Mel!
Hmm, I think you should have posted a picture of you in those awesome pink boots! Love the stools and can't wait to see what caused your hubby to freak out a bit.
You do find the best stuff Mel!! I think it's those pink boots. They must hold some mystical powers!
You tease! Not telling on your husband. I knew the boots would have to appear in Tuula's PINK guest posts. Love the stools. Fun guest post, Tuula!
It is a compliment to know that your neighbors will expect you to come and get the good stuff. Some of us are very refined in our curb picking tastes. The stools were a total score, and look so lovely with their new paint jobs.
You've done a lot of great posts, the Sesame Street room was always and still is one of my faves. I love that room!!
And LOL about the neighbors. 🙂
The stools look great and I love love the pink boots. Too sweet!!!!

How fun! Love the pink post idea! I am anxious to see what Mel is going to do with the stools! They are so cute already.
Blessings, Vicky
Those stools are darling in pink. Wish my neighbors left out trash like that. I think Mel might need to mount those pink boots on her wall in her new room!!
The stools turned out great ! Awesome addition to your craftroom, Mel !
Love them! I had been waiting to see your cute bars tools. What a cool neighbor, too!
Thanks for having me Tuula, obviously being Australian I must be Sandy, so I'm just going to grab a black cat suit to change into 😉
How fun to see 2 of my favorite people in the same place. I LOVE the bar stool transformation. Don't let your neighbors see, they might want them back :). Though the pink made Jules freak out, it was TOTALLY worth it 🙂
Love you Mel! You are so amazing and crafty never cease to amaze me with your projects. Congrats on your guest post 🙂
So great that your neighbors not only know what you'll want but have then ready for you. LOVE your pink stools.
With those boots on, you will always do something unexpected! Nice rework of the stools and the price is sure right.
