Bathroom Vanity

UPDATE:Painted baskets to match... Needed to warm this up a bit for the bathroom. It went from White White to Old White, a slightly warmer white. Look closely and you can see the slight difference in the color white.

cute shelf

This cute little shelf fits perfectly in my bathroom where I use it to shelve hair product. So convenient and turned out cute. Another “Old White” Annie Sloan creation.

Bathroom cabinets chalk painted "Old White"

Just completed my first bathroom cabinet painting project. I really like how it turned out. The cabinets were not bad to begin with just a bit dated. They were the original honey oak color from when my home was built in 1989. I chose Annie Sloan, Old White chalk paint. I used 2 coats of paint & 2 coats of clear wax. I did not distress at all as I needed a crisper clean look for the bathroom. I had finished painting last week but just got the knobs on today which completed the look I wanted. Check out how it looked before and during the process: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BEFORE _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURING-1st Coat and without knobs: ____ ______________________________________________________ COMPLETE WITH KNOBS:

My first "Duck Egg" projects-this colors a keeper

I really wanted to start in the kitchen with this color. The idea is to add splashes of this color to bring out the similar color in the blinds. I started with 2 small items on the counter that were light wood. I used Annie Sloan "Duck Egg Blue" and then 1 coat of clear & 1 coat of dark wax. Funny thing is I think the color looks green. I like how these turned out and I will be painting a table with this color. Before & After:
