Well! It's been some time since I have stopped by to visit, but I have been busy...VERY BUSY!! I had no idea that becoming a stockist for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint would turn my life up side down. It has and it's been great! Every day I get to meet and talk to new people that have been " turned on " to this amazing paint. If there are any of you out there reading this and need to purchase Chalk Paint please check out www.anniesloanunfolded.com. which gives you a list for the stockist closest to you. So todays post is about the projects that never get their pictures taken as "befores". I only have the "afters". They are the ones that I couldn't wait to get started on and forgot to snap the picture to show how awful they looked before the transformation. So here we go with a little AFTER show and tell.

| sweet little table |

| a bit of gold trim |
This pretty little table was painted with Aubusson Blue, then a light wash of Paris Grey. Gold gilding wax was used to highlight some of the raised detail.

| happy trio |
This was a custom job I completed for a Sorority house on the LSU campus. They chose Scandinavian Pink. I finished them up with one coat of clear wax and two coats of dark wax. This picture does not do these pieces justice. I had some happy clients!

| my french beauty |
This was a sad looking piece of French provincial furniture when I found it at a garage sale. It had that icky laminate top. The Duck Egg Blue covered it like a dream. I used a mixture of clear and dark wax, to give that antique look then again used my gold gilding wax to add a little interest, on hardware and details. I may have to keep this one if it doesn't sell soon! I am really trying to get better with the picture taking so for my next show and tell I plan to have Befores and Afters
