This project has been on my "to do" list for waaaaay too long. Over three years ago now we ripped up the terrible old carpet in my parent's retreat ("retreat" sounds super fancy though it's really just a modest sitting room adjoining their master bedroom) then...
Do you guys remember when I shared some pics of this simple concrete vessel I made a few months back... Well, I received quite a few requests for a tutorial so have spent the past few weeks perfecting my process (and learning more than I will ever need to know about...
I love it when the launch of a new product provides the perfect excuse to tackle a well over-due project. Such was the case with the release of Black Wax by Annie Sloan. Teamed with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Antibes Green" it seemed like the perfect way to jazz-up...
I have a thing for old wire baskets. You? Well, if you do too it seems we're not alone. Have you noticed how pricey they can be at old-wares stores and antique markets nowadays? Man! Anyhoo, after I shared this pic of Charlotte's new bedroom shelves a few weeks...
