CHALK PAINT VIDEO

Hello Friends:

To add to my series on "How to paint with Chalk Paint"  "Learning from Kate's mistakes"  remember my post two days ago.  Today, I finished the two shelves, tomorow, I will wax and distress.  Watch the pictures.

The important thing on this post, is that  I love Virginia's video so much that I want you to watch it too.  If you do, please, "like" her on facebook, or twitter, also leave a comment on YOU TUBE.  Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwqt8v8aMWI&feature=related

Annie is the Stokist for Annie Sloan.  You can reach her at the Southern Institute of Faux Finishing in Brandon, Missisipi.

Tell me what you think after you watch the video,

Two of these lamps, so industrial they are great for a study.

Great antique quilt in good condition. perfect for the guess bedroom.

A nice little trunk, she wanted too much, I didn't get it.

Hi Stacey: Thanks for your comment, first of all you can get them on line at the two places I post them. Pottery Barn always gets them right but they are from China ha ha. Anyway, I see if I can find you one, there is an antique shop here she sells them for 20.00 let me know and I can get you one.They are all wood, large and white. martha

Great pictures! I love using oars too and I think they are very romantic and unexpected in the bedroom. I have one above the t.v. in my living room and love it there too.
