This post is one of many firsts. First Blog. First Post. First run with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
I can honestly say I am more comfortable painting and restoring
than figuring out this blogging business.
Thanks to my mom for scouting several great finds at her neighborhood garage sale. I came away with a great little armoir and two side tables. I was compelled to start with the armoir and for some reason compelled to jump right into using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Wax.
I am so glad I did!
Before - She was cute, but dated.
As with many of my projects, I researched and watched tutorials AFTER starting the armoir makeover. Thankfully, I had a good teacher (Thanks Steve!) and my prep-work and novice, know-how paid off. Even though Annie Sloan Chalk Paint does not require much prep-work before application, I went ahead. It's in my blood.

After the prep-work, I used all Annie Sloan products.
Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint
Clear Soft Wax
Dark Soft Wax
The hardware needed a face lift too.
The handles and pulls are painted in hammered silver and aged with the dark wax.
I just love how this turned out!
Stay tuned for the next project.
Those tables are calling me.
Looks great! You did an awesome job (on the blog and the armoir)!
ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYou now have other priorities, so I will get straight to my question. I have a bench that is painted blue. I also have a children's table and two chairs that have been painted light green. I am new at all this DIY and like the appearance of your pieces on which you used AS paint. What do you think of AS for my projects?
