Painted Mirror-Girls Bedroom

Hi Everyone,

So as I mentioned in the previous post, this mirror was way to dark for her bedroom so I painted it a gray to match the general color scheme of her room.

Here was the before..

I used Miss Mustardseed Milk paint and distressed a little around the edges and finished off with Ann Sloan Wax.



Now off to do more DIY projects and finish school projects.

Thanks so much for reading this blog and have a lovely day!

Painted, Distressed Table

Hi Readers,

Hope your weekend was great!  We did a fair amount including visiting Kidzexplore, fun entertainment for the girls, but more of that later.  Today I wanted to share my table makeover, from a honey stained table to a painted piece.  In a earlier post I showed the after, but wanted to share with you all the process.
Here is the Before Picture

I used  two paint colors from Benjamin Moore, Ballet white and a combination of brown  and ballet white for a little depth.  I also added minwax between the paint layers if an area looked too pale. For that added rustic look I chipped the table just a bit on the edges and filled them in with the dark stain minwax.  I used just a paint brush I had on hand, nothing fancy.  After I was satisfied with the overall look I added the Ann Sloan Wax to complete the project.  The wax really makes such a difference in giving a painted piece a great professional look and the application is so effortless.  I give this product excellent reviews!

So there you have it.  This painted piece took me  a couple of hours to complete and I personally love the look.


Just as a quick aside...I recently painted this barstool.  Please check back later for tutorial
