Oh Oh what you can paint with chalk paint

Everything...
The colors,
 the texture,
the coverage,
the patina with little work!!!
This is the "Adow" blue...so perfect.
It is like a warm Tiffany blue!
Colors:Why not a shell??? 
Aubusson Blue, Duck Egg Blue and Old White

WonderFaux Studio does a 1:1:1 ratio
 with these colors
which just appens to be the
giveaway colors! 

AND


Yes, the shell too.
Do not forget this...

This paint sticks beautifully and changes these lamps from ordinary (or plain yucky as the base colors ranged from horrid gold to metal blahhhh) to lovely.
The colors are so lush.

So...remember to enter my giveaway


for
THREE QUARTS
of chalk paint from

Wonderfaux Studio

Let the chalk paint majic begin!!

    I just did a dresser and have a new piece to post Friday - both with chalk paint. Glad to hear you love it as much as I do! Isn't it amazing. I dont get what the critics say about it being hard to distress - mine was soooo easy

    Those lamps are gorgeous! I've yet to try chalk board paint, but I have a table I'd like to paint and would love to win your giveaway.

    Hi Molly! oh I am so drooling over this paint! The lamp is just gorgeous! The Annie Sloan paints are the most wonderful colors. I want to paint everything in my home LOL.

    Loved your comment on the daisies, and I bet your wedding bouquet was so sweet with just the daisies.

    I had to laugh about adding your 14 yr old to the photo mix, I understand completely! Oh and I hate to say it, but I have caught myself with my hand on my hip LOL I don't know what came over me to post those pictures like that hah

    Have a lovely week!

    Every time I visit here, I can't help but going to your Wax Technique Tutorial and see that dresser !! It's a dream.

    Have you tried the Briwax over the chalk paint?

    The colors on that lamp and shell are gorgeous! Oh how I wish someone would start selling that paint here. Shipping fees are killing me.

    Hi Molly! Nice to see you today! Maybe we could work something out with the signs ! LOL

    Seriously, they are fun to make and I really enjoy playing around with them.

    I really enjoyed looking at your shops and ohhhh the painted furniture ! Such awesomeness and I am sure awesomeness is a work lol I enjoyed listening to the music over there too.

    I'm trying to decide whether to go to the pool today and or stay in and finish painting my kitchen wall. Guess I better finish my wall!

    Have a great day! So wonderful to hear from you!
