Old White Annie Sloan Chalk Painting Continues...

In my quest for a light, neutral environment,

I'm painting often. As much as I've painted

in this past year, it never ceases to amaze

and please me when I see the effects of a 

coat of fresh paint on an object - large or small. 

My oldest son, Ethan, gave me this little 

metal rose candle holder when he was a boy.

It is one of those items I will keep forever.

But I had it tucked away in my garage.

Until I thought of painting it with ASCP.

Now, I love it even more. And I am excited

about finding the right place to put it.

I bought this piece last year, but only now 

have I gotten around to painting it. 

Here is what it looked like before:

And here it is after a coat of ASCP Old White:

This piece is crying out for some embellishment!

And plain Jane that I am, I can surely

commit to a trendy treatment for this

small cabinet. I'd like to try a transfer.

I sort of messed up on this piece...

I should have painted it another

color first - or primed it with gray.

Because when I distressed it, of course

the blue came through. No bare wood, just blue.

I think this one is going to get a 

touch up coat of ASCP to cover

the blue. It's just not my thing.

These signs were tweaked with ASCP trim. 

It's a subtle change, but better.

After:

Sorry about the bad photos. Light was fading 

and night was coming. The end of a productive day...

Word for the Day:

Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; 

his mercies never come to an end; 

they are new every morning; 

great is your faithfulness.
