White Desk


I found this desk at Goodwill and immediately fell in love with the hardware and molding on the top edge.



I stripped the top and stained it in Minwax Dark Walnut.


I painted the desk with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White and used the clear wax.


The drawer was painted with ASCP in Duck Egg Blue.



Smokey Bear gives his approval.

Kevin Costner, Kate from Centsational Girl and Wildwood Creek

What does Kevin Costner, Kate from Centsational Girl and Wildwood Creek have in common? Read on.




I was reading an inspiring and entertaining blog post today from The Yellow Cape Cod.  While reading and scrolling down to view the design board, the above photo took my breath away.  That is my dresser I painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Aubusson Blue--oh my!



You must read this adventurous post from The Yellow Cape Cod.  Hint:  it includes Kate from Centsational Girl and Kevin Costner from Robin Hood.



This dresser was my second painted project on my new blog a year ago. 



I don't think the original photos were even edited.  At that point I didn't know much about blogging; I was just happy I could figure out how to publish a post.
 
 
I still feel like I'm learning so much from blogging, but looking back, I've come a long way.

Thank you The Yellow Cape Cod for featuring my dresser in your design board!

White & Duck Egg Blue Hutch


 I painted this hutch with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in White and Duck Egg Blue.


The top was stripped and stained with Minwax Dark Walnut.  I used the soft wax as the final step.

I'm not sure if I'm going to put the doors back on the hutch or not.  For now I like the open look without the doors.



My assistant, Smokey, insisted that the vignette be adjusted.



This is a look at the before.

Rustic Perfection


I painted this rustic cabinet and took it to the shop to sell.  I couldn't get it out of my mind.  I decided to go back to the shop and bring it home.


 I love the shape and color of this cabinet.


I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in a mix of Louis Blue, Provence and Duck Egg Blue.  These three colors mixed to a beautiful turquoise.


The color of the cabinet is about two shades darker than my walls, which I recently painted in Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams.


It's an imperfect, rustic cabinet, which fits perfectly in this corner of my kitchen.

Habitat Heros Thank You and a Winner


For the past month I have been a co-host along with Julia from 551 East Furniture Design, Cassie from Primitive and Proper and Jacqueline from Simple Home Life for the Habitat Heros link party.  As the hosts of Habitat Heros, we sincerely thank everyone that has linked up your beautiful restored furniture and for your generous donations to a cause of your choice.

You can see all of the fabulous furniture submitted here.

And since it's better to give than to receive, via random.org the winner of the gift card package is Brooke from Spruce Your Nest!
Brooke submitted this beautiful hutch with the proceeds from its sale going to Restore Innocence, a group dedicated to helping child victims of sex trafficking. 



Thank you, again, to every one that participated in Habitat Heros!

Drum Table


I painted this drum table with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White and finished with the Soft Wax in Clear.  It has been so dark and cloudy, I'm tempted to paint more of my furniture in white just to lighten things up.


The top was stained with Minwax in Dark Walnut.  The hardware was buffed with steel wool.



Love the pop of color in the drawer.


Before.


After.  It was so cloudy, I had a hard time getting decent photos.

Thanks for visiting!

Dresser for Habitat Heros


This dresser will be donated to Goodwill as my contribution to the Habitat Heros challenge to donate a refinished piece of furniture to charity.


I painted this dresser in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  The first coat was painted with a custom mix of blues; I wanted the blue to show through the distressing.  The second coat was painted with Paris Grey.  The final step was a coat of  the soft wax in clear.  The hardware was sprayed with a light coat of Rustoleum Satin Nickel.


The dresser before.  I did sand portions of the dresser because there were a ton of stickers on the sides.  Let's finish with another photo of the after.


Reminder:  You can still link up to Habitat Heros until November 20.  On November 21 one lucky participant will be randomly selected to win the following:

Anthropologie $30 gift card
Fabric.com $25 gift card
Hobby Lobby $30 gift card

She's Got Legs


This side table was painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg Blue then Napoleon Blue, waxed with the clear and dark wax, and lightly distressed.  I wanted a contrasting color to show when distressed; therefore, the first coat was painted in the Duck Egg Blue.


The top was stained in Minwax Dark Walnut and waxed.  There table top has beautiful grain.


Love those legs and dainty feet.  I didn't realize how pretty the legs were until I started cleaning her up.


I thought it would be interesting to see the difference in hue between Aubusson Blue and Napoleon Blue.  The Aubusson Blue on the left was waxed with the clear, and the Napoleon Blue on the right was waxed with clear and dark.  I love both colors, but if you want more of a navy blue, Napoleon is the way to go.


The before of this side table is on the right.  Knowing that our nice days are going to be sporadic, I did a marathon where I stripped the tops of several pieces.  You're getting a preview of some items I'll be working on.

Thanks for visiting!
