Blue Chanty Water on my Mind

 

before and boring

 

nice texture though

 

homemade chalk paint

 

two colours of blue and teal

 

love the texture as it dries, thick

 

oh no! my good Pyrex measuring cup! lol

 

love the two different shades, I used a very small brush this time, I really had to "make" something, to craft, you know, so I took my time and so enjoyed the afternoon in the sun!

 

 

almost done, I just had to see how it looked hung up!

 

I think I like it!

 

oh enough staring, lets get this thing done! Hut hut hut!

 

used Ace paint and a tester paint of a pretty sky blue colour

 

 

ta da! :) I am SO happy with it!

 

this is where I will be sittin this week with

 

 A cool iced tea in my tall Ball canning jar!

 

Happy Monday everyone!

Hi! Here are some pictures of my latest project!

It seems I never do only one thing at a time, who knew, so I have taken on three little pieces to up cycle and will be using in my home.

I said I would never paint in the heat again, but here I go again! Trying to get these pieces done before the heat arrives! Last week 100 degrees and it is only May!

The first is tall standard sewing machine table, the second is an end table and the third is the larger sewing cabinet.

The standard sewing machine table and the end table will be stacked, will take pics of that when in place. I have a third piece, already white, that will be the top of the two tables. They will fit in a small corner of my studio office. I can't wait to show you how this will fit!

The larger sewing cabinet will be for my new "where I create" area!

These pieces shown are the before and during. The final pics will be posted later today.

I paint with my own recipe of chalk paint, sand and seal with furniture or paste wax. Will link to the products as well.

I got so excited yesterday, the weather was nice, not too hot so I could get these done, I let them dry completely overnight and I'm getting ready to go out back and sand and wax.

......to be continued.....................................:)


Hi there! I finished, in the wind! Oh my allergies! but, I am so very happy with the outcome! Here are some final pictures and the paste wax and sander I utilized, I highly recommend them!

And from Lowes, Porter cable hand sander!
