old violet

Y'all are so funny about my crooked pictures post :)

I had fun with this one.  I painted it in Old Violet Chalk paint and went to town with the dark wax.

Before, it was pretty blah.  Even with a bicycle helmet on, it was blah :)

I went sparingly with the wax at first, but then stepped it up.

Now remember, when you see this "after" shot, I'm no longer able to move furniture around by myself (wimpy old broken right arm!) so I can't get a really good staged after shot :(

I am tickled with it!  And, it is already sold :)  Makes my day!  Happy Tuesday, everyone!
