I finally painted my very first piece of furniture (or two!) and love the results! My husband surprised me a few weeks ago with a gift certificate valid for one quart of Annie Sloan Chalkpaint, and I just about jumped out of my skin from pure joy when I saw the gift certificate! Okay, maybe I didn't jump out of my skin, but I did do the happy dance I tend to do when I get super excited about something. :)
And of course I had to document the exciting moment and share it with all of you. I did a decent amount of research on the different colors, techniques, and finishes before purchasing my first quart of paint. After much thought, I decided to go with Old White as my paint color for the nightstands in our bedroom. I didn't realize it at the time but a little does go along way. After painting both nightstands I realized I had enough paint to give our large bedroom mirror a makeover. All three pieces turned out amazing! The entire process was incredibly easy and I didn't ruin the furniture, that is a win-win for me. The paint may be expensive, but I like the fact that there is very little prep work and the results were incredible. I can't thank my husband enough for such a thoughtful gift. :)
If you would like to see what my first experience was like using Annie Sloan Chalkpaint then check out my video below! I totally see myself painting a few more pieces in the future. :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed weekend!
