Green with Envy...

Close Up of Antibes

So, once again...Antibes Green from Annie Sloan is screaming greatness scratching the surface of beauty!!! This chair is a true antique, my mother was the one to point that out after I acquired it from my cousin, from her mother, from her mother, from well... you get the point. The great part is, I have two, but only painted one... I will save more greatness for a rainy day!!!

Yummy Details

This chair is a bit on the small side, but now stands tall with it's texture and color. It's always fun to see how each pice of furniture shows a new personality after you start. NEVER FAILS... I start with one color or technique and end in another. From the distressing to the waxing, each piece is unique to itself!

Green w/ Envy in ALL her Glory

Below you will see a chair which we did the imposto (I think that's how you spell it) technique. It's thick and rich... and I am dying to try on an entire piece of furniture!!! I was wanting you to see the difference that one can of paint (and color wax) a can make. Annie Sloan, once again, is rocking the ideas!!!

TWO techniques and styles... ONE color.

  3. so pleased to know I am not the only one who starts with one idea, and somehow ends up in a different direction...funny how the piece "speaks" to you, isn't it? (or how you screw it up enough that you have to adapt...you know, not that I EVER do that...)

  6. Are we supposed to have a plan when we start painting a piece? I never knew that ~ LOL!!!

    I love green. I know it's not everyone's favorite color, but it speaks to me. Along with red...and yellow...and blue!!
