Telehone table redo
This little old table was in desperate need of a redo so I painted it with Annie Sloan chalk paint in Duck Egg Blue, lightly sanded it to age it a little bit, and added a coat of furniture wax. I added a new drawer pull and I think this table is a real beauty now, don't you?

My Grandfather's table
I painted this cute little table some time ago with Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Old White. This little table belonged to my deceased grandfather. I finally got around to adding some French Graphics I found on Karen the Graphics Fairy's website http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/. I printed out the graphics then used carbon paper to transfer the image outline with my stylus. I then handpainted the image with black acrylic craft paint.

Antique hutch
I really should post before and after pictures. This old hutch dates to 1929 and it was stained very, very dark. My hubby picked it up at a second-hand furniture store about 10 years ago and he was going to refinish it, but never got around to it. Well, this piece of furniture ended up in My Happy Place and I just finished it today. I love the way it turned out! Of course, I used Annie Sloan chalk paint - Old White on the inside and Duck Egg Blue on the outside. Two coats of paint and a couple of coats of furniture paste wax and it's beautiful. I love giving new life to old, worn pieces of furniture. It's funny - my girls never took an interest in any of the old pieces of furniture I had laying around until I painted them and made them beautiful. Now they want them! Sorry girls, I'm keeping this one.
