Box Transformation

Hi Everyone,
  I purchased some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  I decided to start out small, so I transformed this box.

I used "Paris Grey" 

It is greyer looking than this photo.

I then put on a thin layer of Annie Sloan "Clear" wax.

I decided not to paint the inside, I liked the way the wood looked against the grey paint. 

After I had applied one coat of wax, I distressed it, added another light application of wax, buffed, and installed a cute little crystal handle.  

I love working with the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and for sure will be doing other projects, and when the budget allows purchasing other colors.  This project took less than 4 hours start to finish and I am very happy with how it turned out and the coverage of the paint.  

I purchased my Annie Sloan Paint from http://trulytattered.blogspot.com/ in Tustin, CA.

I am linking up with The Shabby Chic Cottage for Transformation Thursday.

Hi everyone,

  I updated this little bench with some paint (sorry forgot to take before pictures, as usual).

I am happy with how it turned out.  I am connecting with Kathleen at Faded Charm http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/

Doors of Sutter Creek

Hi,
  While Jackie and I were visiting Sutter Creek, CA -- we snapped a few of the wonderful doors we would find throughout main street--such vintage character.

We also loved this balcony.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Sutter Creek California

Hi Everyone,
  Jackie and I were fortunate enough to travel to Northern California to a sweet little town called Sutter Creek.  We were lucky to arrive there the day before their "Trash to Treasure" event.  It was a great, fun event, with many goodies.  Below are some of the wonderful sites of Sutter Creek---

It seemed that everywhere we turned there was beautiful scenery.   We even met up with our brother and sister-in-law from Oregon.  We all had a wonderful time in a fascinating, beautiful area.
Blessings,
Jeanette
