Annie Sloan Changes Old to Fresh
I admit it. I'm a paint addict. Some of my friends think I'm a bit strange (Luanne!) and maybe it's from the paint fumes. I was searching out fun decorating blogs and came across Susie Harris's blog(check out her site! So much fun stuff!) extolling the joys of Annie Sloan Chalk paint.
I was so excited I asked my friend (Luanne) if she wanted the link. She politely declined. I'll convert her to loving paint one of these days.
I have several pieces try out this paint and after tracking it down at New Art Legacies I was ready to start.

I'm working on few more pieces too, but I'm not ready to show those yet. I'm also trying to decide if I want to add the wax.
Have you ever painted with chalk paint? Will you?

Writing goals took a fun twist this week when I was asked to write an article. So I put away my other writing this week until I finished with that.
Finished reading Rob Eager's book on marketing. I have lots to do but I did work on my about me page. Still needs more work!
As you can see I did a project--just not a sewing one.
The house --well, it's over 100 degrees I'm pretty sure dust and dirt don't accumulate in that kind of temperature.
What was the article you wrote this week about? Good job on the nightstand, it looks very nice! Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a great writing week!
ReplyDeleteEM, the article is about blended families. Thanks for stopping by.

Excellent paint job, wonderfully done. Congrats on the article. I'm fairly certain you are correct about dust not accumulating during heat and humidity, except on the grill of the many and varied fans *grins*
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week, Diana
Thanks Gene. uhm, dirt on the grill and fans? Must be invisible. *grins*

I love your handiwoman abilities! I look at things and think, "Wow, that could be..." and then don't do them. I've never been super crafty. But I can admire other people's crafts!

Admire away, Angie because that's like getting a good review on a book. Feels so wonderful!
DeleteAwesome job on the night stand. I love going to flea markets and sometimes you don't want to scrap down old things.
ReplyDeleteWill give this a try. I adore paint. Did two of my girls rooms two weeks ago. Will check out the paint site.
Thanks Diana.

Thank you Cora! Nice to meet another paint person. I'm tackling a ceiling this week, then the walls.
