Good morning, sunshine! So yesterday was a blistering 97 degrees here in Northern Virginia, and most normal people were in the AC, but I, of course, was outside painting! Well, the deal is I don’t have an air-conditioned work area, and I have an outdoor market coming up on Saturday, so it was either suck it up outside or don’t have additional inventory… so I sucked it up like a big girl:-)
I used my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, which was great b/c I could just start painting, no need for a layer of primer! I learned about this paint from Miss Mustard Seed; she does amazing stuff! I ended up doing a coffee table in Old Violet, two chairs in Louis Blue (not sure if I love them yet), and two dressers in Old Ochre. Here is a little sneak peek…they are not finished but halfway there…
I LOVE this color!
This is in process or before & after. I painted both chairs last night now it’s time for wax.
This puppy needs a little distressing and some cool knobs and it will be ready to go!
This is my favorite. I might be tempted to keep this sucker! I kept the original wood color on the top. It needs a little paint touch-up and minor distressing... then with a coat of wax it’s going to be gorgeous! And it has the original hardware, which is awesome too!
I had a girlfriend come over yesterday, and she saw all of my goodies and loved them. It made me feel good. I buy what I like, and so it’s fun when someone else appreciates it as well:-)
