Thank You Annie Sloan...I'm In Love With Your Paint

Oh yes...thank you Annie for making such a wonderful product...this stuff really rocks!!! My first victim was an old vintage mirror (will share her with ya later)...today I'm sharing victim #2...my old sewing machine table. I have had this table for many years now and have used it in several different locations here in my nest...I even let my sister use it for awhile...ahhhh how sweet of me. Since Haley moved out of our cottage and we gave her some of our furniture...I needed something to hold our OLD TV (okay...now don't laugh...we still have some really OLD TV's around here)...no flat screens for us just yet...but I'm thinking really hard on that subject and just maybe in the next few months we will break down and buy one...yippee!! This table is just the right size for our TV...all she needed was a touch up paint job and she was ready to go. Pulled out some paris grey paint...clear wax and dark wax...then 30 minutes later she was all done...fastest paint job ever!!! Mr.CC could hardly believe it...oh my honey...this stuff is awesome...what a beautiful look...he loved it and I do too. If you haven't tried this paint yet...do yourself a favor and try it...it's really neat.
                                        Hope you have a wonderful
                                           weekend and thanks for
                                                   coming by,
                                                       Linda
                              My sweet friend Lauren is having a
                                AS Chalk Paint Giveaway...hop
                                over and enter to win this great
                                               stuff!!
                               Click here...it will take you to her
                                 blog...My Wonderfully Made!

                                   She was getting a tad bit yellow!
                                        Just a little peek of victim #1
                                               in the background.
                              Now look how good she looks up against
                                                 those walls!!!
                                                 Lovin' this look!!!
                                       Maybe one day...she will be
                                      used as an accent table again.

                                            Victim #3...my end tables.
                                             Started them today, but
                                              putting away my paint
                                              brushes until Monday,
                                                 so I can spend the
                                                 weekend in Auburn
                                                 with my baby girl.
                                              Looking forward to our
                                                  mother/daughter
                                                 two night slumber
                                                          party!

    Cute post, and I guess I can assume you are "fond" of ASCP?


    Yup, thought so :)

    Visiting from MMS Linky Party tonight,

    The table looks fantastic! I have an old sewing table that has been ignored for too long. I really need to get my hands on some of that chalk paint. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!

    Hi Linda, your sewing machine table turned out beautifully! Love it. I have my grandmother's old Singer with the machine still inside. Can't decide what to do....hmmmm, lots of inspiration! Linda p.s. We don't have any flat screen TVs either. Yet.

    Nice!
    And I am picking up my very first order of ASCP tonight!! Very exciting...I have a pair of "antique" end tables (that are super old but not fab quality) so I am dying to know if this works as well as everyone says!

    LOVE the sewing table re-do! Half an hour -- that's a record I'm sure for such a beautiful project! We hardly watch T.V. so about a year ago we got just a 19" computer monitor (LCD?)for our living room. Some people think it's weird but first of all, our living room is SMALL so we didn't want the T.V. to be a focal point and second, like I said, we're not big T.V. watchers.
