To chalk or not to chalk?

My new obsession is chalk paint! My paintbrush wants to "touch" everything in my house with this incredible paint. Thanks to my fellow blogger, Becca at Adventures in Decorating, I discovered Annie Sloan Chalk paint. And the rest is history!




Our tired bar stools needed a facelift, so this was my first project .....

From this.....




To this.......





Here's a close up of the graphics, courtesy of The Graphics Fairy, that my sons chose to adorn their seats!





It was so easy! A coat of paint (no sanding, of course, beforehand), a little clear wax on the legs, a little bit of sanding to "distress" the edges and corners, and then a coat of wax on the seat. Perfect! Now, I'm off to paint something else!


Have a wonderful, creative day!
