Remember this....

remember this dandyshandy me and sally found a few weeks ago on our big haul ???

here she is after being french kissed with an Annie Sloan Chalk paint job in "duck egg" blue
I love this paint, I really do ...
I love the details underneath....
I used one coat of spray-on primer, one coat of ASCP - "old white" and one coat of "duck egg"....
I was going to apply the dark stain wax to help bring out the details, but I got lazy and just used polyurethane spray to seal it because the chalk paint is well, chalky looking without top coat of something


Jeff likes it a lot and hung it in the kitchen for a day .... he is crazy fast at taking my lights up and down ..
plus, he doesn't like what I have up there now....
I would love it in the guest bedroom, but it is listed here
might help pay for an airline ticket to see the littles...


here she sits by the door, looking all frenchy-fried


 you like?  I make ....
for you amanda ...

xxoo
