More Chalk Paint Projects!

Yep, still working away with that amazing product, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, here at Relish. Last week I finished a couple of vintage chairs (which looks amazing painted, by the way) and a little girl's vanity with a flip-up mirror.

Here are a few pics of the work as it progresses on the vintage kid's chair...

Just look at this amazing Antibes Green colour! I mixed it with the Pure White to get this nice muted bright green for the kid's chair.

Stay tuned for more projects and products here at Relish!

Project #1 Finished!

Well last week I mentioned that I had a few projects on the go - I was foolishly optimistic enough to think I'd actually have them finished last week. Yeah right! But I have now finished one of the three that I had on the go, so now I can share it with you....

Stage 1 - Beginning: freshly salvaged. I haven't started a thing yet.

Stage 2 - I finally got the whole thing sanded down, and have just put the first coat of lime green paint on the legs and apron.

Stage 3 - Four coats of paint later (and just look how beautiful that green is!), the legs and apron are finally finished, the table is reassembled, and I'm about to start staining the top.

Stage 4 - Finished! Three coats of stain and three coats of urethane later, this kitchen table is finished, and looking amazing!!!

Just one more look at how beautifully that walnut stain takes to the wood.....

Moving Stuff

Exciting furniture re-arranging news: a dresser that I had refinished using Japanese paper has finally found a new home, so now I have a new dresser! Well not new, but new to the bedroom. That's one of the great things about re-arranging furniture, right?

This dresser used to be in the dining room, but I have to say it looks super great in the bedroom with those yellow walls. And now I have the perfect excuse to shop for a new table or something to use in the dining room to replace it. Yes!
