  1. 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. :)

  2. 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.

  8. 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!

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