    Can't wait to see what color you paint it. I have a thrifted mirror I want to paint but can't decide what color.
    It'll probably be off-white. :)

    Hi Linda,
    Ooh I love your mirror and can't wait to see it painted. You are probably going to paint it the old white.

    We have a shop in my area that sells AS chalk paint and I'm doing a post about it Sunday night. She also ships it at a really low price.
    I'll be telling all on Saturday or Sunday.

    hugs
    Sissie

    I can't wait to see how it turns out! And my coffee table has been begging me to paint it for a long time now...maybe I should listen up and just do it! ;-)

    Linda you are a perfect dealer for Annie Sloan Paint, I think you would sell tons of it with all of your examples. I would say Louis Blue!

    Grey for a Scandinavian look or white for a beach cottage feel.
    Good luck!

    Hmm, maybe the duck egg blue! It will be gorgeous no matter what you do to it. I'm really looking forward to receiving my chalk paint...I'm picking out my first candidates already.
