After searching, I found this great dresser with tons of storage and we decided that that was THE piece. Here she is before her transformation:<br />

Certainly not a bad dresser, but definitely in need of some color and some bling! Here is how she turned out:<br />

I used straight up Annie Sloan Graphite with details highlighted in a Graphite/Old White mix, and the roping in a custom mixed silver. I finished her off with some clear wax and crystal glass knobs and pulls. My client loved it! It complimented her Hollywood Regency style and finished off her room beautifully. I have to say, it was hard to let her go - definitely one of my favorite pieces to date!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02841294460661379093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501598538041550465.post-65946672019081824012013-07-22T17:02:00.001-07:002013-07-24T12:24:31.657-07:00Washed Grey Buffet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This mid-century modern style buffet was crying out for a good old fashioned wash. This was my first attempt at this process and I loved doing it! I used a base of Annie Sloan Paris Grey and let that dry. I then applied a watery mix of Paris Grey and Graphite, wiping off the paint immediately after I applied it leaving this very cool darker grey striations. After that dried I applied some clear and dark wax. After a little distressing she was finished!</div>

I have always wanted an antique Mora clock, but the originals are in the thousands -- way out of my budget. I found this reproduction and was so excited! This is her in the store in all her glory. I have yet to hang her in the house, but will be sure to post when I do!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02841294460661379093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501598538041550465.post-90249465375168042452013-02-13T13:47:00.000-08:002013-02-13T16:45:08.942-08:00First Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Experience<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Still needs a bit of tweaking, but after painting, repainting and painting some more I think I finally found a color combo I can live with. I love the paint. Although it's kind of expensive, that is probably the only negative. You don't have to sand and you can paint practically any surface. It's awesome!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02841294460661379093noreply@blogger.com0
