Here she is! Excuse the less-than-ideal lighting, it was the best I could do while perched on a step ladder 10 feet in front of my workshop. I need a wide angle lens. News flash: I am spoiled to Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. In gearing up for Fredericksurg Trade Days, I have spent all my money. Well, I have about $4 left. So, everything else I am painting will have to be with what I've got. So this is Behr Pot of Cream left over from my kitchen cabinets, and a blue chalk paint custom mix. Usually with chalk paint I can just start painting. No sanding. No priming. For this, I sanded a little, used 2 coats of Bin Zinzer Primer, then 3 coats of Behr. Then I glazed and waxed. That's a lot of man hours, folks. The most chalk paint I've ever had to use was 3 coats, without primer, and I was painting white over dark wood. Never again will I gripe about the price!
Here is what she used to look like:
LOVE this hardware! And brass is back.
This is a great neutral piece. I tend to like chunky, masculine pieces with a hint of femininity and this fits the bill perfectly. Hope somebody snaps it up!
