CHALK PAINT PROJECT No.3

My latest Chalk paint project is finished!  I purchased this old dresser which had it's four legs torn off.  I just knew that I could do something really beautiful with it and give it a new life.  The poor dresser was in the shop's basement waiting for me.  I loaded the dresser in my truck, brought it home, made a few calls and found someone who had the skills to repair the legs.  I knew that I wanted to paint it black (just like the Rolling Stones...) and opted for Annie Sloan's chalk paint in the color Graphite.  After two coats of paint, I applied Annie Sloan's Dark wax to make the color stand out.  The result is just splendid and this dresser will now remain in our house where it belongs.  I love it!

SAMANA

After such a horrible winter, my daughter and I packed our things and left without remorse for the easter holidays... Why not just escape to the beach and enjoy the warmth of the sun?  It was wonderful to return to such a beautiful place!

MY SANCTUARY

It is finally completely finished! 
For the last three months we have been witnesses to the transformation of our dated bathroom. Like the ugly duckling, it has become a beautiful swan, my own perfect sanctuary.  I am more than happy with the result which is exactly what I had envisioned at the start of this project.  A stand alone tub inside a walk-in shower... Perfect! A modern room with a classic feel: heated marble floor, freestanding rectangular sink on marble counter, towel warmer, rain shower head, oversized mirror... I love it!
