FANCIFUL - FRIDAY
You have to look at this and smile, its a feel good piece. Reminds me of melting sherbet ice cream. My inspiration for this came from Shizzle Design's- Whimsical Patchwork Painted Dresser. I am in love with their work.
I started out painting the whole thing in Louis Blue but those awesome french scroll legs screamed for something more. So any paint I found laying around was used. I didn't follow any particular method, kind-of made it up as I went along. Painted, sanded, and waxed and repeated.

So, I have decided to join the blogging world! I love the exchange of thoughts and ideas, and have been inspired by so many of them. This is one of them.
Yes, I had to try it too, and to my surprise it was not as hard as it looks. Now I'm hooked. Chalk Paint is as awesome as they say. True it is a little pricey but worth it. I ordered my chalk paint from the purple painted lady, she has the step by step instruction on this project.
