Inspiration!! Check it out

I just found this blog by looking around Pintrest for painted table ideas and came across this talented lady's work. 

Shabby 2 Uniquely Chic

I love old furniture, I love it's character and charm. If it has dents, dings and scratches it means that is has been loved and part of someones life. My desire is to give it new purpose, new life, and a new home. Even though this is a messy job and I am left with a backache, I get so excited for each new piece that comes my way. I can do custom pieces if you have a piece in your own home that needs a little TLC. You can also find me at https://www.facebook.com/Shabby2UniquelyChic

Today I'm in bed from asthma and trying not to be depressed from this set back. I have interesting JFK work that is just sitting, waiting. So, I'm looking for something to cheer me up!!

I'm always looking for inspiration to freshen up rooms. Here are 25 ideas for accessorizing console tables that you'll love!

Another project with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

Another project with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

Full disclosure!!! The family pets and children scratched and cracked the paint. I kept painting over it until it had too many layers. See new post for part 2.

I don't have a "before" picture handy but here is our black vinyl footstool after a first coat of Old White chalk paint. I took my time reading about painting vinyl with this paint and was so happy to see many examples of chairs, stools and cushions, etc.  knowing how strong the chalk paint holds up, I took a chance. 

I used a small roller to apply lightly, just making a base coat.

This is after three coats with a wide foam brush. I did sand but the cat jumped up on it and I had to do a quick coat over that so i didn't sand it again. 

I applied Annie Sloan wax to seal the paint and have a nice gloss.

Here it is!! beautiful, shiny and not BLACK!

It adds a lighter tone to the room along with the white shag rug.

I love it!!

This project helped me from having the blues as I've been so sick the last two weeks. As of yesterday I am feeling so much better! I sound like myself when I talk!! Not sure what is next. Maybe that Lowboy in the foyer...

Follow me on Pinterest!

 When I'm having to lay around I find myself looking for brain activities. I started "a few" boards on Pintrest to save favorite photos of places, rooms, clothes and lots of things. It's not surprising that people all over the world are happily doing this too. I see patterns with the content of their boards, like mine, but I've also found some of the most imaginative groups of photos that blow my mind! Go check it out!! (I'm Debra Conway there)

Many inspirations for your wardrobe!
