Missing in Action

I know much time has passed since my last post.  Believe it or not, I've been quite the busy bee.  My storage room has plenty of things for me to work on so that isn't the problem.  I ran out of Annie Sloan's Old White.  I know . . . why did I let myself get so low on my supply.  When I ordered another can, there was a slight wait.  So I decided to order another color while I was at it . . .


Aubusson Blue is AWESOME!  It is such a beautiful color. 



I painted a couple of things today with it that I will share soon.  Here's a hint:



I know . . . I know . . . it's already beautifully distressed, but it was green.  It looks blue in this picture for some reason, but it was a true green.  This sat in my storage room in its green state for the longest and today I gave it new life.  As I stated before, there will be more on that later.


I also tackled this flea market find (you remember the one with the spiders) with a little help from Old White and Paris Grey.  Here's an old picture to remind you of what I was working with:


Once I removed that flaking stuff off this stool, I was amazed at the beautiful wood underneath. I will share the final results of the makeover I was totally happy with.

The last makeover I completed, was a mirror.  An ugly, green mirror.


I was told that this speckled green mirror sat for several months waiting for someone to see its potential. I loved the design and knew that paint would give it a totally different vibe.  Annie Sloan paid it a visit and brought along some Old White and Paris Grey, but I don't  know if they'll stay or not.
