So I decided to do it in my dining room. Wood Icing Gallery, where I sell my colored pencil paintings, also sells wood refinishing products. I decided to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Everything I've heard about it is true, I didn't sand or prime (I did wipe it down, but that just took a minute). I did the first coat in about an hour.
I'm on to the second coat today, then the wax. I'll show you the finished dining room next week.
I also did a house portrait, a lovely home with spring plantings. I enjoy doing these house portraits! If you're interested in having one done of your house or a special place (maybe the church where you were married or the your childhood school), you can order one here:

You are so brave. I love your decorating, but I am such a chicken when it comes to painting furniture. (And my husband would be standing there saying, "I don't know about this . . .") What a lovely house portrait!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sweet Posy Dreams! I'm not brave - my furniture begged to be redone. You have to know me, though, I'm always painting something! I probably change wall color every 2 yrs.!
