My first project with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint hereafter known as (ASCP)

ugly table, help me!









.......and it won't be the last.  In fact it's the beginning of a time line before ASCP and after ASCP.  I have been saving this ugly little table until I got my paint brust in some ASCP. It was so shinny that the flash bounced off the top and the front was laminate, ugg. Otherwise it was a solid wood very sturdy piece and I loved the harlequin pattern on the top and the detail on the legs.  I painted it Chateau grey which is more of a green.  No sanding first, honest. Then I glazed it with a cream and distressed it.  What do you think ? Tres Francais, n'est pas? I have added it to my space at the Corner Store Antiques and more in Little Mountain,SC.  Check us out on facebook.  I will post more pictures of my space there. Thanks for reading and bye for now.

So many projects, so little time

Yesterday was a productive day. I started a blog, goaded Amy into finally doing hers (now I'm irritated because her's is better than mine), started a slipcover, primed a china cabinet,sorted through my yard sale finds from Saturday and finished this pretty shelf. Here she is in all her pinkness. Sorry I forgot to take a before, but she was just drab and brown. She looks like a princess now and is going to my space at The Corner Store Antiques and More.

Just do it !

Paint a piece of furniture, sew a slipcover, create something beautiful, start a blog. Did I just say that? Well here goes.......... Stay tuned more to come. I am still learning how to do this blog thing. Next need to know thing is load pictures of some projects.  In the meantime I need to thank all the creative women out there in blog land who have inspired and challenged me.  It, being my desire to write about my little "projects", started with my friend and co-worker Amy.  She is creative and smart, loves picking for things that are rusty and discarded and making them loved again. Amy sent me a link to Miss Mustard Seed and I was hooked; spent the next few hours going from blog to blog.  If you are reading this then you know what I mean.  I look forward to sharing ideas and encouragement!
