AS Chalk Paint Hutch

 Found this piece at an estate sale...has such great bones...and great detail!

 The top....turned upside down

 I used Annie Sloan Old Ochre and a touch of Old White....just love that paint!

Finished and for sale!!  Surely wanted to keep this one!!

Hope Chest

 This is my hope chest that my Mom bought me when I was a teenager...

I've always loved it!  But...time for a makeover!

(I'd given it to my daughter..she decided she didn't want it anymore)

 Filling in all the holes from the cushion that was on top...

almost there....

Whala~! I love it! and yep....she wants it back now! Ha!

Shabby "Country French" Night Stand

This nightstand was a gift from my friend "Debbie"...thank you!

Got it home...sanded lightly all over...

Painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint "Old White" and distressed all over..turned out too cute...but I thought maybe I could add one more thing...so...

I decided to stencil some detail around the edges...I hope you can see this...

also did this all around the top of the night stand...(sorry forgot to take that pic..ugh)..

the handles are from my fav Hobby Lobby...

Hope you like it too!!

My take on a Shabby Modern Dresser

This is the dresser that matched the metallic nightstand I did earlier...I just couldn't bring myself to paint with metallic paint again...maybe I can blame it on the Heat?!

It's rather difficult for me to not "shabby" a piece of furniture...so the edges are very slightly distressed. It is really pretty...hope someone likes it soon. 

I painted this with "Old White" Annie Sloan Chalk Paint..slightly sanded then added Old White mixed with Valspar Glaze...let that dry over night...then used Howard's Wax...Love love love that stuff! 

My Very First Table and Chairs

I bought this table before I knew anything about much...especially blogging.  Had lots of wood filler added to the damaged top...but such cool detail.

Check out the claw feet...yum!

Yes Yes...these are the chairs.....I know...

I had to break out the 409 and the scrub brush...can you believe how dirty?! 

Lots of love went into these pieces

I didn't get a pic of all the chairs...Had 2 of each...

they were the kind of chairs you don't find every day...very sturdy!

 I was so proud of this piece...so many hours spent on it while learning..

I only pray the people who bought this love it as much as I did.

If you click on the pic it will appear bigger so you can see more.

Hope you like it too!

You can tell my booth was brand new...not a whole lot of stuff yet..ha!

Chalk Paint "Antibes Green" Desk

Bought this lovely piece at my local thrift store...had to do some small repairs...

Had bought this chair at a garage sale...thought they looked great together...

very shabby

Chalk Paint Dresser
