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.
