floral horrors


This 'before' shot needs no explanation…


I painted it in Old Violet ~ and I love that the result was really different than the last time I used Old Violet.  Have I mentioned that chalk paint fascinates me?







I LOVE it!!  I sanded it lightly and waxed it with clear wax.  Happy, happy!

This is what I feel like doing today…


How about you?

Thanks for stopping by!
