Anne Sloan takes on brass, wood and glass

I haven't taken on any big projects since I completed the desk and dresser in my last post. My blood pressure has been really high the last couple of weeks so I have been taking it easy.

 

 I can't just sit around and do nothing all day, so I found a few little projects to keep me busy.

 

If you paint with Anne Sloan chalk paint you know that you can paint almost anything with it.

I have not found anything that it can not improve.

Anne Sloan pure white chalk paint gives these brass candle holders

and dollar store picture frame a new look

A fabulous new look

 

 

 

 

 

Does this gives you some idea of what to do with all of those brass candle stick holders you pass by in the thrift store, turn brass into class

 

 

 

 

This candle holder was at the dollar store and it is plastic, would you have guessed that ?

Anne Sloan chalk paint makes it look incredible

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the thrift stores are full of these old wooden jewelry boxes

You probably pass them up because they are outdated

And the felt inside of them is usually discoloured

but Anne Sloan can paint that too

And look how cute they look painted

 

 

 

 

 

 

Painted with Anne Sloan pure white and Antoinette

And slightly distressed

 

 

 

 

 

 

And you may have seen glass bottles painted with chalk paint

All three of these are liquor bottles

The front one is a crown royal bottle, isn't it gorgeous painted

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cute little tin was ugly in brass but looks cute in chalk paint

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of these items except the liquor bottles were only a few dollars

 

I love the way white looks but you can use any colour of Anne Sloan

Experiment and have fun

 

Don't pass up those thrift store finds anymore

I look at everything so different now that I have become an upcycler

You see something you like but don't like the colour

paint it paint paint it

 

Want to change the look of your room but your on a low budget

shop at thrift stores and paint it paint paint it

 

Thank you Anne Sloan

I don't know what I would have done if I had not discovered your paint

 

Would love to hear how chalk paint has inspired you

Do you do more than paint furniture with it?

would love to hear about your projects

 

I am hoping to get back to bigger projects soon but in the meantime

I am enjoying playing with my thrift store finds

 

hope everyone is having an amazing week

 

happy picking happy painting

 

hugs
