One more piece for the sale!!

i LOVE vintage washstands...placed either in entry way, dining room, hall or family room...they just fit.......I will have a few at my June 2nd sale...here is one I finished up this weekend....I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint--Old White with light colored wax and distressed with a 400 grit sandpaper because the chalk paint sands so easily...I left the original hardware........

and then I moved on to some great old wooden boxes that needed some attention before the sale....Will share some pics tomorrow...........Hope your Mother's Day weekend was filled with many smiles...and some paint!

One of the first blogs I started following was Gail's at "My Repurposed Life"...Gail has been a friend ever since...She is creative, inventive and always has a project  that she is in the middle of--so when she was looking for guest posts at her "place" I jumped right in!  Hop on over and check out my guest post--and then check out her projects.....and be SURE to stop in at Gail's on Thursday's and check out her "Catch  as Catch Can" Linky Party--You will find GREAT DIY projects!

See you there!

Chalk Paint & Chalk Board Paint

What a busy weekend...

Getting ready for the June 2nd sale! 

Here are some shots of the chalkboards I have been busy with the last couple of days....

love the old wood on these.....

I actually have 2 of them....they look like they were doors to a built in at one point....

This next chalkboard was a very large picture frame....

I painted it in ASCP Old White and distressed it--and added some light and dark wax.....

love the distressed details on this one....

and one more.....

This one I painted with ASCP Paris Grey, and highlighted with some Old White and light and dark wax................

 & 

the next project..........here is a peek....

 

Love the curves............

 

and after that...........

Oh....take your pick......
