New Passion

Hi friends,
How are you faring this June? For some crazy reason I've found a new weekend hobby that involves me hanging out all day in our stinking hot, like 100+ degrees, very hot, garage. This past time has me sweating. Sweating so much my head is sweating. The kind of sweat that pours into your eyes. Ok, enough of those details. I've discovered the joy in finding sad old furniture that no one but me wants and the pleasure of choosing a fabulous chalk paint  to give my new little friend a make over. Oh and I blast disco music too while I'm working. Can you see that picture? Heaven for me minus the heat.

Here are several projects I've tackled lately:

Details on the projects:

Writing Desk- I painted in French Linen chalk paint with black wax for distressed look then clear wax on top.

Cane Back Chair- Painted Old White chalk paint with clear wax on top plus light sanding on edges for distressed look plus new blue paisley fabric to cover seat and matching two-sided pom pom pillow.

Headboard- Double/full wood headboard painted with Paris Gray chalk paint with black wax applied for distressed look and sealed with clear wax.

Two Conversational Chairs- Wood and fabric covered with Paris Gray chalk paint then light application of black wax and clear wax on top.

I plan on working on more projects this upcoming weekend, thankfully the heat will be less which I'm soooo grateful for.

Happy decorating to you friends,
Megan
