Sweet Treats

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Flavors

Primitive FarmHouse Table

Farmhouse tables are very coveted items these days and the vintage ones especially. This is one of the projects I'm currently working on.

It needs some repair, splits, cracks, a loose leg, before any painting can begin. Here is another Farmhouse Table, that I may use as inspiration. I love that the top is left unpainted, while the apron and legs are a beautiful gray with violet undertones. Using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, I would layer Graphite, Old Violet, Paris Grey, and allow the Cream to peak through on the edges, and maybe as a wash on the top.

I like Annie Sloan Chalk Paint  for my craft and furniture projects, but for walls nothing compares to Pure & Original Fresco Lime Paint. I love the natural variations of shades and tones the lime creates within one paint color. You have to see how gorgeous it is! Checkout my most recent interior design make overs with Fresco. It can be purchased online at www.502paint.com

P.S  Pure and Original also makes a chalk based paint called Classico in 140 colors! Its amazing too!

Combining and layering different hues can make your blue complex and interesting. For more blue inspiration, see my posts, Chinese Apothecary Cabinet, Modern Chalk Paint, and  Rococo Commode
