I’ve been working on a few projects this week to take into the shop. Boy it feels good to get projects done, right? Hubby will be happy for that being as the house looks more orderly. (smile, hubbers…I know you are reading this!)
The first project up my sleeve was to un-funky-fy an old handmade wood side table. Pretty homely in its original state, I must say. I painted the table with Annie Sloan Chalkpaint – in Duck Egg & Old White. I stenciled numbers along the edges using pure black stencil paint. Next, I applied one application of a medium stain paste wax, a little light sanding along the edges and, lastly, a final application of a plain paste wax. Allow to dry and give it a light polish with a clean cotton towel.
Project one, done. Check.
Yes, Miss Fiona, that is Annie Sloan’s Old White that you are looking at AND it is NOT edible. Sorry girlfriend.
Project two, done. Check.
A really ugly pair of shutters with green and white paint got a free make-over from the make-up artist (moi). The color palate, once again, Duck Egg and Old White. A little roughing up the edges and we have a pretty little pair of shutters all fresh and ready to adorn someone’s home.
Project three, done. Check.
Plenty.
Someone once ask me if I ever get bored.
My answer: n.e.v.e.r.
Check.

What fun! They look amazing!! I so have to give this paint a try. I have heard wonderful things about it.
Miss Fiona is such a cutie wanting to help ;0)
The numbers table and red trunk... I want it all. sosooososos cute.
Everything looks great! And I must agree I NEVER get bored! Hugs, Diane
These all look great but I love the shutters best. Great job!
I'm still trying to find an Annie Sloan dealer in my corner. I can travel a hundred miles to find one and it's starting to look better to me once spring arrives. Anything to avoid shipping fees. Love the colors you selected...looks wonderful. Hope that they sell real quick.
Looks wonderful! I love that table, heck I love everything you do! Me too, bored? What does that word mean...LOL Kit
Very cute!
That is a great box.
You have been very industrious! Love the old wooden box! (and Fiona)
Gotta get me some of that Chalkpaint. Your projects are wonderful! Thanks for following me:)
I love that the lid of the box can be used as a display piece-very unusual feature!
You and I have both been very busy gals!!! Love your projects!!!
Now Becky Fiona is looking at you like "hey, REALLY, there is no food inside". She is so pitiful...poor baby. Love your projects, that box is neat and gave me an idea about my dad's old fishing tackle box he made. I might could use it for something else..hmmm...lets see what I could do with it. The funny thing is if I don't write down my idea I will forget it by the time I get to play with my junk. LOL. Do some more projects and maybe it will strike another cord in this old brain. Thanks.
Hi sweet Becky! Your projects turned out GORGEOUS! I bet they all sell like hotcakes out of your booth...I'm in love with that little trunk ~ wish I could poke around in your space! Thanks so much for visiting me ~ hugs and love, Dawn
You are brilliant finishing off those projects the way you did. Love it. I'd love to see this shop that they are all in.
I'd love to have the little wood box !!
How could you be bored...you have creative juices flowing in your veins.
I never would've thought of doing what you did to your coffee table.
Very cute.
And the old box would be great for
display, for sure.
Lady Fiona is sweet, as always!
I love all your projects! The table is just great and I love the numbers you stenciled on it! The shutters look wonderful in two colors. I have been on the lookout for a pair to put over my fireplace, but I've been finding them too big or too small.
Becky saw all the new items at the boutique yesterday! So glad you're back...makes it easier to get my "bex fix"

Ps those who get bored either have little imagination or no projects waiting in the wings (ie; my 3 car garage without room for 1 car...hehe)
