CHALK PAINT PROJECT - BEFORE

Here's what I'll be working on this weekend.  IF it turns out good, I'll post pics the first of the week.  Sophie managed to get in the picture.  I'm amazed that that tail isn't pink and turquoise.


Yes, that's my homemade chalk paint mixture.  Add, you guessed it.......TURQUOISE will be my color of choice.  For some reason, I just can't stop painting things turquoise.


A screw driver to remove the hardware, one of my favorite brushes, and I'm ready to paint.  (Notice Sophie again checkin out the price tag.  Too bad she can't paint.)


That's because using chalk paint, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY PREP WORK!!!


Is ANYONE else out there as messy as I am with paint???  Look, I've already gotten paint on the top, and I don't think I wanna paint the TOP!!!

Okay folks, I'll see ya back here next week with pics of the finished piece.

  5. Hey there Candy,
    I'm so excited about following your blog, I love to paint and upscale things, I just don't have time these days. Maybe I can live vicariously (might be spelled wrong, I'm a terrible speller) through your blog. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and visiting mine. It seems these days I,m reading more blogs than posting on my own(that time thing again). I'll be back for a visit soon. Have a great night.
