I'm just not good at it any more. I like the color you picked with the white but I see why you were not quite happy with the outcome.

I somehow even manage to make a mess of a simple wall a simple color. I can't imagine messing with furniture. It makes me nervous just thinking about it. I know I am hopelessly out of date as everyone is painting, distressing, chalk painting or in some way re-doing furniture these days...everyone. But me? I love most wood in it's natural beauty. My house if full of oak. Soo out of date I know, lol. Good thing I still love it considering my painting abilities. Can't wait to see this finally finished as I KNOW you will have it just as you want it soon, and beautiful!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-28187650381366998212016-07-11T10:26:25.939-05:002016-07-11T10:26:25.939-05:00Hi Linda, you've been waiting to try out chalk...Hi Linda, you've been waiting to try out chalk paint!

You know I painted things in my bath...I hate how it looks. I thought I could live with it for a few months...but come winter...it's getting done again. Who's mixing these paints anyways?? :):) I picked a gray but it's more blue than gray. You need a mouse sander. Makes quick work of that nasty part of painting. I truly liked the distressed white of the drawers the best. Before all the brown. Maybe mix the blue green and the white to lighten it all up...but have some color too. I am thinking of all of you ...you are in my prayers. I love you guys, Blessings, xoxo, SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-40822832655890598402016-07-11T06:57:00.914-05:002016-07-11T06:57:00.914-05:00I hope you find the look that you are looking for ...I hope you find the look that you are looking for soon.

You've got an awful lot of work there and a growing collection of paint. As one who hates to sand and hates painting worse there's no way I would go to the effort you've gone on this table. I'll be interested to see what you try next.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
