She Is Finally Done
With the heat & then winds it took awhile to finish but
she is done & ready for a new home
she is done & ready for a new home
This was my first attempt at painting what I call a "messy look", meaning it's not painted solid white, the paint is heavier is some spots than others. I know there is probably a correct name for this look but I am not too sure what it is lol..
The color is Magnolia by La Craie paint (purchased at Fox Hollow Cottage) & Annie Sloan clear wax. The Aqua is a mixture of a few colors I had on hand.
I just love the fact that I do not have to sand, strip or prime the furniture prior to painting when using the La Craie chalk paint. Saves me soooo much time ;)
Please be kind with your words, I am still new to refinishing furniture & learning as I go. Constructive Critisism welcome. Mean words are not ;(
La Craie paint can be purchased at
Thanks for Looking

It turned out so pretty Nicole. The color on the drawer fronts is perfect. I like seeing it in the daylight. It really shines :)

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Claire ;)
DeleteI love the new paint colors. Great job. I also have been looking into painting old furniture and bringing it back to life. Going to be starting out small helping my daughter paint a chest of drawers she bought for $20.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. xo
Hi thank you so much ;) I started out small also, I bought a $20 piece from salvation army and just went from there. I was surprised at how much I am enjoying it. I just wish I could find some more vintage type pieces to do. all our thrift stores pretty much have the same types of furniture. Good luck, post a picture of your projects when they are done ;)
DeleteYou have a great weekend also xo
