Antique Armoire
Sunday, August 17, 2014
I bought an antique armoire for my anniversary. I have never chalked painted anything. Well blogging friends this was my first! Thanks to my daughter Jessica for helping me and keeping me focused on completing this project. I found a $2 table cloth at Goodwill and loved the color grey. I new this would make a beautiful duvet. So the inspiration color for my antique armoire as you can see in the pics is grey. I even hand painted my anniversary year. I am no artist but love the way it turned out. They say practice makes perfect, well I definitely practiced with some chalk paint. I would love to know what you think. My bedroom is a work in progress now! I have to get to work on the duvet! Thank you for tuning in, more to come.

I started my blog to stay busy through my grief, unemployment and empty nesting. I love making something beautiful again. "Sometimes you may not be picked to join the bouquet, so be your own single beauty". My words, and making the world beautiful one post at a time.

ReplyDeletejust the right shade of grey and love the accents. Beautiful to look at when you're drifting off to sleep.
ReplyDeleteDeb, it's beautiful! I never would have considered gray, but it's gorgeous. You are most definitely an artist with your vision:)

Ooooh! Swooning over this armoire, Debby! It looks just beautiful - great job on your first try with chalk paint! When I see beautiful armoires, I am reminded of my grandmother - who moved into a new house with closets, and was so happy to have closets - that she took her 3 armoires outside to the burn pile and burned them because she didn't need them anymore!!! Can you believe that? Anyway, love the way you transformed this. Hugs, Catherine
