I do intend to do a couple of posts very soon recording the various projects I have undertaken over the past 6 months. But in the mean time, here is my most recent project, just finished today. I painted these drawers with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Pure White and also a colour that I mixed using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I picked up 3 great chairs on Ebay recently and decided to try my hand at replicating the Swedish Gustavian look.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I managed to pick up this small cabinet this week and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">got to work straight away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First job was removing all the rodent excrement (gag) and giving a good wipe down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next a coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Pure White, then 2 coats</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Graphite.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint French Linen to do the stencils.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have been busy with furniture painting and recovering of chairs. One thing that has really put a lot more fun back into my projects has been the use of Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. How good is this paint?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Here's a lovely desk that I used the Chalk Paint on. I did the base colour in Pure White and the top coat in Paris Gray (my personal favourite).</span><br />

I mulled over what to do with it for some time. I could see it with fresh white woodwork and a navy and white patterned fabric, but decided to stick with the neutrals. I used my new stencil which I love. It was a little time consuming but well worth the effort.</span><br />

Sandy had 3 different fabrics to choose from and I think she got it 100% right with this stripe. I also think her decision to keep the timber natural rather than painting it was spot-on! Isn't it beautiful :)</span><br />

<br />
These 4 balloon-back dining chairs have come up so beautifully. I am having so much fun with my new stencil, although I think it may be time to invest in a new one. Even my kids commented that they are getting bored with this one haha.<br />

Thanks Loi Thai, I needed that! (Visit Loi's great blog <a href="http://www.toneontoneantiques.blogspot.com/">Tone on Tone</a> ).<br />
<br />
I finished off a lovely large chalkboard recently. It has an elegant feel to it. I hope it will find a new home soon.<br />

I have also finished off my French dining chairs with black braid.. I am not sure it was the right choice but am sure it will appeal to someone. I am hoping they will sell soon as I really need to make space for more chairs haha</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They have a lovely cane back and have come up beautifully with a new paint job and new seat covering. I stencilled the fabric on each one prior to upholstering. All that is needed now is double piping to hide all of those staples. I am thinking I will do a contrasting piping, maybe in grey.</span><br />

I picked it up from the Tender Centre yesterday and after a light sand, undercoat and fresh coat of paint and I have to say I love it! I would love to keep it around for a while but seriously have nowhere to put it...I had to move a sofa out of the way just so I could stage it for the photos!! I am going to put some small crystal knobs on to finish it off.<br />

I wasn't sure the timber deck would lend itself to this decorating style and still have my reservations but I am giving it a go. I would like to get a new table and chairs eventually and some sort of mat under the table, although this could be tricky as it would need to be weather-proof (any ideas?)<br />
<br />
For Christmas I was so excited to receive the 2 lovely urns and the buxus balls.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of trying to paint the blue-board wall using a render/texture paint. I am having some success but would like it to go on a little more evenly. I am thinking I may need another coat to give better coverage.<br />

There will be a clipped hedge along the wall either side of the large urn, white pebbles in the platform where the large urn is sitting, possibly an agave in the large urn and some up-lighting so it looks pretty at night :)<br />

We will be celebrating, just the 5 of us, at home. It is times like this that extended family feels so far away, especially knowing they are all getting together for a time of fun and laughter, but we are thankful to have each other and the presence of God in our home :-)<br />

I got this project from a client and after beginning to pull it apart realised that one of the coil springs was broken. As I have no experience with things of that nature I got some advice from an upholsterer friend who recommended pulling all the springs out and replacing them with elasticated webbing, which I did. It was quite the challenge, but have to say, it has come up a treat. <a href="http://www.paintmewhite.com/">Sandy</a> painted the woodwork. She always doea a great job!!<br />
The fabric is a lovely navy and white stripe. (Was fun getting the stripes all lining up!)<br />
<br />

I picked up a couple of MDF mirrors last week at the Tender Centre. I paid $16 each and was pretty happy with that. This mirror is the larger of the two and a really good size with a 160am diameter.<br />
I am really happy with the end result and will be listing this one on ebay soon. My user name is Grootsww if anyone local (Gold Coast) is interested.<br />
