So yes I have joined the chalk paint crew- but how satisfying it is!!! This little set of drawers was hidden in a junk shop place looking very sorry for itself- no back and really neglected.
I don't think it has had so much attention since it's been made!!! I did lots of sanding first as very grubby and soaked the little handles in vinager- they came up a treat. One handle was broken so I have threaded black ribbon through it and I like the quirkyness of it!! This is to keep all my little sewing odds and ends in . I have to say I do like the finish- at first I wasn't so sure about chalk paint but with the wax and distressing it comes up beautifully. The first coat is Farrow and Ball French Grey then I used Old Ochre top coat and soft wax to finish. The insides of the drawers is French Grey. Not taken a pic of these though.
Thanks mum for introducing me to Annie Sloan paint- I too am on a frenzy!!!!! What next?............
Lovely and so dainty, told you it was something that you could get obsessive about. So which one next?
