Furniture Painting

Back in the spring, I played with painting some furniture - using chalk paint. I have been wanting to do this for over a year and just hadn't gotten to it. With the majority of my French Country done, I was contemplating this. I bought several colors of Chalk paint from Joann's and pulled out some of the inexpensive furniture I have had for years.

Still in the works, I was experimenting with base colors and sanding, and top colors...I have also purchased some small wood and metal embellishments and have some ideas on adding them and then painting over them. I haven't done that yet....

Third Floor Girl's Bedroom

Once I saw this bed, dresser and vanity, I knew this would be a fru-fru room! Toile and stripe - pink!
There's a Ni-Glo hanging lamp, and a nice rug peeking from the side. The window is also framed out with the actual arch trim that is made for this.

Here's a better view of the rug - punch-needle I think.

This is an interesting shot - almost like the actual neighbor's house across the street.

I have to share how I finished the inside of the arch. I got thin flexible strips of basswood and bent them into the arch.

Second floor bedroom

This room is set to be more gender neutral, not sure if its a boy's room or just a guest room. But it has come together nicely. I snagged another great dressed bed - one that works nicely here. Here's what's interesting about this bed - the paisley duvet is very similar to a real life duvet I had for my own master bedroom!

You will notice flooring done, braided rug, baseboard, and some other furniture from shows and stores.
