Annie Sloan Shelf Makeover....

With my furniture sale approaching I am on the hunt for different sizes and styles of  furniture pieces....

I picked this little shelf up at an auction....

She was a little rough...VERY ROUGH......

I did a bit of repair work 

and decided to remove the back off the bottom shelf...too damaged to repair... 

this left the bottom open for the perfect basket......

I sanded and decided because of the old red paint I wanted to prime this piece...

I had an idea in the back of my mind on how I wanted this piece to look....Like the one Shaunna from Perfectly Imperfect and Layla from The Lettered Cottage worked on in this post

I LOVED their "after"......

and here is mine..

I used ASCP Duck Egg Blue and Old White and used a clear wax to bring out the colors.... 

Time to put a price tag on her!!
