latest project

Here is my latest project  a sideboard/buffet/whatever you want it to be.  Underneath one of the drawers it was stamped August 19, 1959.  It looks like it has 16 small drawers but it only has four!! I decided to mix some turquoise latex paint I had with some Annie Sloan Old White chalk paint. I mixed in some chocolate glaze with the AS clear wax and wah lah......

I still have to put the knobs back after a coat of oil rubbed bronze paint.  This piece is already spoken for.....(sniff, sniff) Let me know what ya think!!! Peace my friends....

I broke

Yes I finally did it!! I broke down and bought the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint that everyone is raving about.  I decided on the Emperor's Silk and Old White.  Now this next part may sound crazy but I can justify crazy. I found a very cheap side table. (VERY)  I decide to use the high dolla' paint on the cheap table.  (Let's just say if I took an empty quart can to the scrap yard I would get more for it than I had to spend on the table...K???) I figured it was small and if I screwed it up I hadn't wasted that much of the precious paint!  I am not sure if I have gotten the waxing method down yet, but here she is.......

(remembered to take a pic after I had painted the legs)

Whatda ya think?
