The Vintage Street Faire, summer's end, the return of the rainy season and back to school for my little guys...it all took me a little bit by surprise! It just happened so quickly that I feel like I barely had time to catch my breath! And for that reason, I am very behind on blog posting, emails, and visits to my dear blog friends! I lost my momentum and ended up in a weird, unorganized fog. But I think I've finally snapped out of it and am ready to return to sanity! Ready for Autumn!
Last week I managed to get a couple of small things painted for the shop. This chair had such a sad finish on it, if I had used anything other than Chalk Paint® Decorative Paint by Annie Sloan I would have had to spend hours tediously sanding and priming before ever getting to the fun part! All I did was dust off the dirt and cobwebs with a wet wipe, opened up my Chalk Paint® cans and went straight to work!
I used combinations of French Linen, Pure White and Old White to achieve this mottled grey followed by clear and dark wax. I love how authentically old the finish looks and feels.
Colors were layered, then wiped away while still wet. I honestly didn't know which way I was going with it when I first got started but once I found the look I liked, it was effortless, really!
I love grey in any season and I think it's particularly pretty layered with the Autumn inspired accents!
Happy Autumn to you! Thank you for your sweet visit today! I hope you have a very lovely week!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
