I think it is really easy to use and love the way it looks and feels. Makes me want to do another project:)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297211863097389178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-86618984108134580622015-02-11T00:12:40.196-05:002015-02-11T00:12:40.196-05:00It's all looking so delightful!

You have made your room such a lovely place to retreat. <br /><br />I am also taking note of jAne's pointers as I have a large piece of furniture that I am considering painting. It is a little daunting and I need all the advice I can get.

It reminds me very much of French Provencal color combos. ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-22220348875039895132015-02-09T15:23:53.590-05:002015-02-09T15:23:53.590-05:00Thank you jAne!

I did it after to get a really smooth finish, wasn't looking to distress it. But that is a great tip for the pieces I do intend to distress! I so love chalk paint! Knowing the colors of my home, what other Annie Sloan colors do you think would look nice? I was thinking of Paris Grey, Old Ochre, French Linen. I have living room side table to do, and I have a dry sink the would look great painted as well! Bring on the advice!<br /><br />And I think it is darling too, so I don't think Tim will mind you saying it either! <br />Deanna Rabe - Creekside Cottage Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-88255593076873466172015-02-09T15:08:17.646-05:002015-02-09T15:08:17.646-05:00beautiful job on that darling (i hope your hub'...beautiful job on that darling (i hope your hub's okay with me calling his cabinet darling) cabinet! love that it ties in perfectly with your own bedside cabinet. :) little tips: no pre-sanding needed, and when you're ready to distress your piece don't use sand paper. nope. after your piece is dry (after painting) use a wrung out wet sponge that has a rough side. go lightly of the areas you want distressed. cuts WAY down on any chalky film - to near zero. then wax. and buff. <br /><br />i love how your room looks..sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869744622519612793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-43730065895672417332015-02-09T14:53:33.861-05:002015-02-09T14:53:33.861-05:00Looks great!
