My first Annie Sloan chalk paint makeover

Hi Friends-
I’m pretty excited to share my first Annie Sloan Chalk Paint project with you!
I finished this project on the morning of the fourth and had every intention of sharing this with you last week…..
Nope, that didn’t happen. 
 We finally just brought it up from the garage and placed it in a niche at the top of the stairs.
   I actually have big plans for this space but well, that won’t be happening anytime soon so the armoire gets to stay.
~And the before~
Tomorrow I’ll share with you all the steps I used to achieve this look.  Until then, I mixed Duck egg and old white to attain this  gorgeous color.

                      

I was after this color

Veranda 09-2009
    

I have to say I absolutely love this paint and am thrilled that I was able to test it. 
My mind is swarming with ideas of what I can paint next and yes the bathroom is on that list!
A huge thank you to

Annie Sloan

and of course my awesome sister for giving me the gorgeous piece!
XOXO

    Oh I love it. I am so glad you came by! It looks so lovely. I know you will LOVE the Duck Egg mix. It is absolutely my favorite. I also love a wash of the duck egg over the old white. I just water down duck egg and use as a very light wash…layered yumminess.I am vacationing right now so not too active via my blog. I did want to tell you ow glad I was that you all were OK after your fire scare.

    Love the light, soft color. Glad it’s way lighter than Veranda. Great job!
    To those asking about the price of Annie Sloan, yes it is expensive, but it goes a long way. If it’s unaffordable, there are a ton of other chalk paints on the market, or you can make your own.

    Found this by following Artsy Chick’s post on 8/1. My parents had a piece of furniture EXACTLY like this and for years they called it a silly name. Not sure where they got the name from, but, yeah. Not an appropriate word to type here. 😉 I went looking for some online, and never could find any with the same name… because that wasn’t what they were called! I finally found out, quite by mistake, that they are called ‘chifferobes”. Who knew? I LOVE the way you painted this one… do you still have it?

      Wow, I never knew that, thanks for sharing. Now I’m curious what they called it 🙂 I do still have it upstairs and am still loving it painted!
