Waxes 101
So sorry! I planned to have this video to you last week and I even filmed one, but I was tired and it was half-heartedly done. You deserve better than that, so I made a new one yesterday morning in my very best painting outfit. Believe it or not, I actually go out in that ratty, paint […]
Serendipity – Dresser Before & After
I love happy accidents. This dresser was a happy accident. Someone had left it in an attic or barn or somewhere where it was exposed to heat. This heat made the poly finish bubble and it eventually cooled and hardened, leaving an amazing alligator skin texture. This would be a bad thing to most people. To […]
Colors
I’ve received a lot of questions about the chalk paint colors I used on my corner cabinets, buffet and desk, so I thought I would share (plus I’m stalling a bit until I get my tutorials done!) The corner cabinets are two coats of Louis Blue with an Old White interior and highlights. I distressed […]

Dining Room Cabinets – Before & After
I once posed a question on this blog. Should I paint these corner cabinets? There were people in both camps. It was quite a comment thread to read through. What some figured out is that I already knew the answer to the question. I wanted to paint them…I just wanted a 2nd (or 80th) opinion. The […]
