Gray paint rescue!!

Earlier this week I spent the day with my great friend and we got to work on an old entry table that she has had FOREVER but wasn't liking so much anymore....all it took was some gray paint and a little bit of a white glaze and she's feeling the love again!!   We completely forgot to take a before pic...wahhhh...as we were so excited to get painting.  

Picture it as it was in a very light blonde pine!  

 Take a look at it now in its gray glory!!

Now it's ready to be put in place, accessorized and loved again for years to come!!

LOVE our crab apple tree....1st time it's bloomed in 3 years...:)

Have a great day & enjoy this glorious weather!!!

ANNIE SLOAN DUCK EGG BLUE

I'm continuing work on my screen porch and 

Annie Sloan duck egg blue is becoming the key accent color...

take a look at these transformations and come back soon for total porch reveal!!

This table and the pedestal below were recent tag sale finds...

On some of the pieces I used a white glaze on top of the duck egg blue paint...

So don't forget to come back soon to see the entire porch...
