Adding new life to furniture with a coat of Annie Sloan's Paint

I was commissioned by a lovely client that so wanted to keep her childhood furniture alive and well.  The furniture it self was in great condition, it just needed some updating,    It was a stressful situation for my client as she wanted to make sure it was going to be the perfect color.  

She decided on Annie Sloan's Paloma as the base with an Annie Sloan's Old Violet Wash, finished with a clear wax for durability.  Today is delivery day and I am so very excited for my client and her husband.

Does Your Home Business Look Like This?

I started Shore Chicy Designs last year and it is taking off which is a good thing!!!  The bad thing is that I am running out of space .....I am working out of my home both indoors and outdoor depending on the current weather conditions.  I am fortunate at this point to also have a small cottage that has a garage for which I am storing furniture to be done.....

However, I haven't gotten to the "to be done" part in a while...


This is my current project that I am working on that is now taking over my living area....

A four piece bedroom set completed in Annie Sloan Paloma with a Old Violet Wash

Wasn't sure what to do with the pulls, but  silver looks great...

Almost done....and then on to next project.

The Tall Boy Comes Back To Life

Here he is a bit shy hiding among the others notice his colors

I am currently working with this client that has inherited lots of furniture all in various stages of life.

This pass week we brought this Tall Boy back from being painted as a zebra in black and white with some spread of garage mold to a handsome useful proud chest of drawers.  He was pretty banged up with lots of drip paint and chips galore.....but he hung in there...

Brought him outside for some clean up

He is gleaming with his fresh new look

He is waiting to come in doors after his final coating of wax

Here he stands proudly with his new colors

He looks great in his Annie Sloan Paloma Base and his Old Violet wash with a hint of Verailles and Anibes 

We are hoping he can head home this week.....He will need the rest after the week that he had....
