When I adopted her, she was a sad thing but had tons of potential. TONS.
I couldn't sleep for days {if i'm lyin', i'm dyin'!) because I was SO excited to see Stella's transformation. It was too late the first day I bought her, then the next 2 days it rained, then the 4th day I had to go to class all day {bummer}, so it was a lot of waiting. I hate waiting for projects!
Ordy Boy, being the sweetheart that he is, totally knowing his Joon Bug and her antsy-ness, started the project without even being asked. We discussed color options and of COURSE I wanted white, but he
I had a choice of three different Krylon yellows, but ultimately went with the "Bright Idea" and I am super happy I did! It. is. perfect.
he sent me these pictures while i was in class, and my responses to his texts where less than enthusiastic. I was notttt feeling the color. I regretted my decision and felt too bad to tell him to go white. plus i didn't know if it was even possible after his 5 coats of yellow and shine... ugh. regret.
BUT THEN I SAW HER IN PERSON. she was the most BEAUTIFUL shade of sunshine yellow! I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to take her home and hang her up! Alright, here she is in her new home!
she is so me!!
Love her!
