More Annie Sloan

My dad made this table for us when I was a little girl. We grew up around this table. We had Brownd tradition steak dinners. We dyed Easter Eggs. We carved pumpkins. We laughed. We cried, well at least Bo did when he was forced to eat green vegetables!! This table is a part of my history. As our family grew, my mom decided she needed a bigger table that would seat more. I couldn't bear to see this table end up on the curb, so I asked if I could have it. It was a little worn and had some paint stains here and there. So, I decided to spruce it up with some Annie Sloan paint! (Which is quickly catching up to hot glue as being my best friend!!) On this table I used Emperor's Silk, then I added some touches of Florence, and covered in dark wax.

My next project was Ty's furniture. None of it matched so I used Graphite and dark wax. I forgot to take a before picture of the dresser, but I did get a before the wax picture!

 Please excuse the picture above the bed, it was centered, then I moved the bed!! 

 Then, I decided to turn Hannah's furniture into Lila's furniture. I used Old White with dark wax.

My last project for now is totally stolen from a friend (I hope you don't mind;)! I took cheap bar stools from Walmart, painted them, and then painted the kids names on the tops! Although not perfect, I think they turned out so cute!! I used Florence with Emperor's Silk letters on Hannah's, Emperor's Silk with Graphite letters on Ty's, and Arles with Florence letters on Lila's!

I cannot wait to get into the new house!!
