WRITE YOUR OWN STORY

 up-cycled desk/vanity i picked up this past spring. it was the first piece i painted with annie sloan's chalk paint. the new color kick i seem to be on is GRAYish. this color was created with old white and graphite. take a look at my previous post. i used the same mixture on the mirror. i also use a clear wax and a glaze. but, they aren't annies products. i sprayed the pulls with a nickel finish. i'm lovin' the transformation. i'll post a few more projects i did with the chalk paint. then i'm gonna start packing up. i'm going to be moving. the new season has begun.

hello
i'm still around. holding on by a thin thread. there has been so much upsetment in my life for a very long time. i'm so DONE. a new season is coming! i try to stay creative. it's the best therapy!!! i'm sharing a simple re-do with you today. this mirror is plastic. very 1970's when i found it at the thrift shop. i used annie sloan paint. a little graphite and old white. dry brush!! saved time on the distressing areas. i really like annie's paint and i have a stockist only 30 mins from where i live which makes it very easy for picking up my supplies.
enjoy
