Pop!!!!!!

Oh yeah!!!  It's here!!!!!!!

Annie Sloan is in my house...well, her paint is!!

 

 

I've already cracked it open and started on the bedroom suite that's been taking up space in my dining room for 6 months.  It's soooo smooth! I'm pretty sure this whole 5 piece set isn't going to take any time at all to complete...here's a sneak peek!!

 

I am off to apply another coat...sooo fun!!! 

 

Happy Refreshing,

Julie

Nightstand and a pretty cute kitty!

 

 

First coat applied...sa-weet!!

SOLD!!

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here or not but I sold my very first piece a couple weeks ago and you wouldn't believe how happy and excited I am!!!  I took full advantage of Kijiji and listed a couple pieces and within a day I had requests for 2 of them.  Sadly one didn't pan out but the Sofa Table did...I hope she's very happy in her new home, I will miss her!

 

 

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Virginity Pop!!!

...will commence tomorrow night!!!!  :) :)

 

A week ago Friday I ordered my first can of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint from my local Stockist Malenka Originals and had it shipped to my office so I wouldn't have to worry about missing the post office here in my little village...then I proceeded to get sick with the flu for a week, even took time off work which I never do so that sweet little package has been sitting on my desk patiently waiting for me since Monday afternoon, right after I left for home.  Big Sigh!!  Just my luck I guess but good things come to those who wait, right?   

 

I've used Annie's Soft Wax's, clear and dark almost since the beginning but I've been making my own DIY chalk paint out of paint that matches my décor (leftover trim paint, etc.) and it's worked perfectly for the pieces I wanted to do for own home.  I also love working with Martha Stewart and Americana Decor's chalk paints for smalls like bottles, frames, little tables, etc. but I've been itching to try the world renowned paint from the master!  Tomorrow I'm going to get that chance!!!

 

I ordered a quart of Old Ochre, and a sample pot 8oz of both French Linen and Coco...plus a new can of Annie Sloan's Clear Wax since I'm almost out!  It's going to adorn a beautiful bedroom suite that I acquired from my brother with lots of fun detail that's been sitting in my dining room since last summer...I can hardly wait to get started and get that gorgeous set to a new home for someone to relove in their own way!! 

 

Happy Refreshing!
