Well, I guess I better start on Christmas for my own kids, huh??
Good thing is since they're 1, 3, 3, & 5, they'll be happy with a bunch of $1 toys from the dollar store!! We have pretty big ideas for stuff we want to build, but we'll see if it all happens. ;)
I've been working like mad on custom orders for other folks, but I'm managed to fit in a few new goodies for the shop!
Here's a fun little 4 drawer dresser I painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Coco and then brushed in hints of French Linen & Duck Egg for kicks and giggles.
Also I REALLY have been dying to use the blue crackle knobs I found at Hobby Lobby awhile ago. I painted the top 9 knobs Duck Egg--well in all honesty-- I painted them . . .
Are you ready for this??
First I Brasso'ed them to see if I just wanted to leave them brass colored.
Nope. So I sprayed them . . .
Bronzed Black . . .
Then
Duck Egg . . .
Then Distressed them and too much Duck Egg came off so I had a little black bulls eye in the center.
Then I tried Step two again.
Still had a bull's eye.
so I painted them AGAIN in Duck Egg.
Add a couples steps of Shellac in there.
Yeah. I painted them like 6 times.
Even those of us who paint 10 pieces of furniture a week have those problem pieces.
But here they are in all their Duck Egg Glory!
Thanks for stopping by!!

So, so pretty! Thank you for the visit and the sweet comment @TheDedicatedHouse. It means the world. In answer to you question about how I link up to a ton of parties...it's one of the things I do early in the morning. It takes about 20 min. just to link up. Then in the afternoon, I spend about 30 min...most of the time more than that going back and visiting links. There is so much inspiration out there. Anyhoo, I hope you have a Merry Christmas! Toodles, Kathryn
