In between the sewing projects I decided that the vintage sewing box that was being used as a side table in Jasmines bedroom needed a make over. She will be pleased to see that I am still referring to it as her room as she has moved 'up north' for university and was convinced that I would either turn it into a full time guest room or auction it off to one of the other children!!
Good ole faithful Annie Sloan to the rescue.
Loved the little draw pull so removed that before painting.
With ASCP (Annie Sloan Chalk Paint) there is no need for sanding or priming so it was straight to the job, didn't even bother to remove it from her room! Hope Mr J doesn't read that bit!!
Decided to paint the draw front 'Louis blue' and then do a wash of 'Old white' over the top. So that when I did a little bit of distressing there would be hints of the blue showing through.
2 Hours later the job was complete.
Didn't need to use any of the dark wax on this one as for some reason there where bit of the old brown seeping through but I didn't mind this just gave it a more aged look. Much more in keeping with the rest of the room now.
God Bless You.x
Looks great Dawn! Oh the wonder of ASCP, how did we manage before that stuff? So great that you can just pop out of the house and pick some up as needed!
