Annie Sloan project: a pretty little cabinet


shabby creek cottage
Welcome to Transformation Thursday! It’s the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you’ve been coming around for months (or years), or this is your very first transformation rodeo – everyone is welcome to link up your projects at the bottom of this post.

cabinet
Last week I shared my pretty little cabinet with y’all. She’s a little rough, but after a day at the DIY spa, she’s better than new.

I recently got a package from Michelle at Wonder Faux Studio. She sent me a can of a beautiful blue, Provence. After we chatted on the phone for quite a while, she gave me lots of great tips that I can’t wait to share next week, but for today I’m just going to share my Provence project.

Ain’t she pretty? All gussied up in Provence, it was the perfect choice. Have I told y’all how much I love this paint? No priming, no sanding - just let the magic happen.

provence blue annie sloanJust a little distressing, nothing major. I actually let it sit painted a couple of days before attacking it. I always wait for the piece to “tell me” if it needs it or not.

I did leave the top alone… it was just too pretty to cover up. I did add on some new knobs from my favorite little local hardware store {Brink's for my local peeps!} A pretty little project for a pretty little cabinet.

  18. Wow! That's gorgeous. It's amazing what a coat of chalk paint can do. I've posted a link to my recent chalk paint makeover. I do love the paint. It's perfect for me as I very much dislike sanding. Yuk! Hate it.
