Green Chair

Getting ready for Spring Market Days at Chartreuse!  Painted this chair with Annie Sloan chalk paint (White, then Antibes Green); distressed it; and a coat of clear wax.  Re-covered the chair in a fun modern polka dot.

 

Pizza Peel Sign

I took a long break from the blog...too much life going on!

I've got some great stuff to share....starting with this trash-to-treasure!

I took this very used pizza peel (destined for the dumpster) and turned it into a very cool sign.

Pretty Scrolled Table

Next weekend is Chartreuse's Spring Market Days.  I've been a busy bee and been painting like Van Gogh's painting frenzy in Arles. (I still have both ears!)

Just finished this table this morning:

Red Rooster Stool

Winter's snow and frigid temperatures kept me indoors.  Lots of baking and refurbishing thrift finds kept me from doing the iconic scene in "The Shining" (think "Here's Johnny!")

When I saw this stool, it was not pretty, but underneath all the dirt and grime, I could see red.  I decided to paint the wooden seat black.  I ran out of Annie Sloan charcoal chalk paint, and decided to wing it and used an old can of black chalkboard paint.  And guess what?! It worked like a charm!!

Lyre Back Chairs

2 blah chairs.  2 coats Black chalk paint, ASCP clear wax.  Reupholstered the cushions with Italian linen fabric...  et voila!
