chalk paint – Page 5

Now that I have started painting and revamping furniture…I can’t seem to stop myself.
(My husband has started calling me Sir Paints A Lot. Adorable, eh?)

Here lies my boring old buffet (R.I.P) in good ole black laminate. This was the first piece of furniture my husband and I bought together; we needed more storage for all the kitchen ~~crap~~ wares we registered for. She has been a good girl, served her purpose well, but it was time for a rebirth!

Yup, you guessed it! It wouldn’t be a post these days without the help of our chalk paint!
Two quick coats turned this black laminate silky white in 1 hour!

For the frame I used Old White. For the doors, Duck Egg.

I did the lightest of light distressing on this one. I just can’t have it too “finished” looking. Not my style.

Helloooo, gorgeous! Once this gal was done, I just couldn’t stop staring at her. So I did what any great decorator would do: moved it into the darkest, dreariest hallway in America.
(With terrible lighting to boot! Thank God we are moving in days!!)

I cannot wait to find just the right spot for this piece in the new digs!

About 8 or 9 years ago, before I discovered the wonders of thrift stores, I purchased a pair of “scratch and dent” dining chairs at the Rooms to Go Outlet store. I can’t remember how much I paid for them, but I am pretty sure it was about $100 for the pair (GASP!)

I reupholstered the chairs, and set them out in my living room as extra seating. When we moved to our next house, they ended up as desk and vanity chairs. With this current move, I only have room for one of the chairs as seating for the built-in desk in my super-sweet kitchen.

I had a can of Annie Sloan Old White Chalk Paint that I purchased on my visit to Robyn Story Designs in Tampa that was screaming to be used. This chair was the perfect candidate:
