Updating and outdated headboard in a day.

Good Morning...its been a while.....since I've posted anything....all is good in case you missed me....or not!  Here is an update.... We moved in to temporary housing until November.....My husband set up my new workshop and put my paints in  Alphabetical order...I don't work that way....but Thank You ,,,,  I lost 7.8 pounds on a new program that I am following called IsAgenix and I'm back to the gym and yoga full time...  Ahhhh but you wanted to see the head board... I have to do this fast as I'm delivering it at 8:30 and its 7:36...here goes

My temporary work shop

Blah 1990's white wash Head Board
I painted the first coat in Annie Sloan Versailles .  Then added tape strips
 
I took every other strip of tape off and made sure the remaining were nice an smoothly attached.

I added Annie Sloan Old White to the area's where I removed the tape


Removed the tape and you have perfect stripes

Added wax and a white wash...a bit of sanding and here is the beach look we were going for.

Love it!  Okay now to deliver it..
Oh did I mention that this piece is going to the Sandy devastated area of Ortley Beach NJ....I love helping the folks at the beach still trying to put their lives back together....
