<span style="font-size: large;">I love rehabbing chifferobes! I think they are one of my favorite pieces of furniture to do. A little more time consuming but there are so many things a chifferobe can be used for!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This piece was a multi tone wood color before I started.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always look for pieces that are structurally sound because I don't have the time to repair furniture.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a multi-step process on this one. I also paint the entire piece including the inside with this technique!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Step One & Step Two:</b></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Base Coat & Second Coat French Linen </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I like my pieces to have a gray undertone so 2 coats are needed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Step Three:</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Paint Over French Linen With Old White</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I paint on the Old White I paint using a dryer brush, allowing the base coat of the French Linen to show thru. I also paint randomly, crisscrossing, as I go, almost painting an 'x" formation the entire time. This actually gives a lot of depth to the piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Step Four:</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When the Old White has completely dry, I wet sand! I use a wash cloth and a sponge with a rougher side instead of sand paper. I want the grey to be my under coat that shows through, not the wood itself, and sand paper is too harsh for this technique.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wet Sand all of the edges in places that would show wear over the years.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Step Five:</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Age With Cocoa!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I Love the color Cocoa! This is a great color I use to age the piece. Take a small stiff bristled craft brush and dip into the Cocoa paint. Wipe off most of the paint onto a paper towel leaving the brush more dry than wet. Paint the Cocoa onto the edges of the of the piece, corners of the doors, around the knobs, basically any place that will show wear and tear. Then wipe over a bit with a wet cloth. I use a rag off technique where I just push the wet cloth onto the Cocoa paint area and lift off removing most of the paint, but allowing some old brown to be there. Am I making sense? If not...please email me I will walk you through it!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Seal With Clear Wax!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Saturday! It's been a month since my last post! The Summer is flying by! Between long weekends at the beach, gardening and thrifting, it seems like there is never enough time to rehab furniture! I have decided to get back into the swing of things and start refinishing again.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 1.35;">Yesterday before work, I decided to admire my garden that I had worked on all weekend. I was surprised to find 2 of my vintage pots completed turned over with all of the flowers on the ground that I had planted. I looked around to find deer tracks all over the new soil, however I noticed nothing was eaten! Why didn't they eat anything? After a little research I found out I have planted everything deer do not like! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 1.35;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 1.35;">Deer often steer clear of plants that are bitter, spiny, poisonous, fuzzy, coarse, or very aromatic. When designing your cottage garden there are so many plants you can use that fit this category!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; line-height: 1.35; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Here are 10 fragrant and thorny plants that will look wonderful in your cottage garden and that deer will stay away from.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">I just finished another cupboard! I love collecting the 1920's - 1930's pieces! This cupboard was originally a two tone piece that had a glass door with an ornate wood screen. To update this piece I removed the door! Yes, some of you may be cringing but the door distracted a bit from the items placed on the shelves. Now it is a more versatile piece.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Happy Thursday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Today I am going to share a few helpful tips for selling & "Rehabbing Furniture".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Each week, I'm constantly looking through Craigslist ads, antique stores, thrift stores and yard sales to find that perfect piece of furniture to "Rehab".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">My client list is mounding up and I have become addicted to Furniture Rehabbing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Here's some steps to start "Rehabbing" and selling furniture. I use only Annie Sloan chalkpaint, but there are other paints available. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">1) Find your Piece!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Look through Craigslist ads, Ebay, Yardsales and Thrift Shops.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Once you find your piece, make sure the piece is structurally sound and all drawers working properly. Selling a piece of furniture that is falling apart is not good business and will not help your business expand. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">2) Fix anything that is possible wrong with the piece. Veneer chipping? Fill it in with wood putty and sand! Missing or loose screws on door hinges? Fix them! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">3) Wipe down the inside and outside of your piece with a damp cloth to remove dust prior to painting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">4) Choose Your Color Palette</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Make sure it is something that would appeal to a large number of clients. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">5) To paint the top or not to paint? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">If it is real wood, I prefer not to paint. If the top is veneer and cracking or chipped, than painting may be better for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">The original buffet was stained a very outdated orange. I stripped the top of the buffet completely down to the bare wood and stained the top a dark "Kona" color. I choose this color often when refinishing furniture. Then sealed with coat of Poly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">6) To Paint or Not To Paint The Hardware?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"> I NEVER paint over the hardware. I feel in most cases it cheapens the look of the piece of furniture. Once removed, the hardware was cleaned, then repainted a Chestnut color by Rust-oleum.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogAZQFKmPqAcrWNExo73qI9i_9J3NmQ0W1B4U15JTe9S2UrhUfOZpU1FLhbXV4j78tmCTU25xRykXMt4mK7UkhBMD2yilk8BNErTkhpyaX6mSzds51UhbCXlAWOWX-JYJWX75Yt5bKew/s1600/buffet+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogAZQFKmPqAcrWNExo73qI9i_9J3NmQ0W1B4U15JTe9S2UrhUfOZpU1FLhbXV4j78tmCTU25xRykXMt4mK7UkhBMD2yilk8BNErTkhpyaX6mSzds51UhbCXlAWOWX-JYJWX75Yt5bKew/s1600/buffet+4.jpg" height="640" width="416" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Most of my pieces are a 4-5 step color process. Yes, most of the time I use 3 colors, then dry brush with a color and seal. It takes more time but in the end it is so worth it. The multiple layers of colors truly reveal the beauty of the Annie Sloan paint. </span></div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">7) To paint, or not to paint the inside of the the drawers....hmmmmmm that seems to be the question! I do both!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">If the inside of the drawer is scratched up and you are wanting to resell your piece, I would suggest taking the time to paint the inside of the drawer. If the wood is nice inside, then use your own judgement. On this piece I did not paint the inside of the drawers, however I did paint the base of the cabinet only. I wanted the true charm of the French Buffet to show through with the knotty wood that's why I chose not to on this piece:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">8) Staging your piece to sell!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Pictures say a thousand words! Take the time to stage your piece! No matter how nice the piece is, a bad picture won't help sell that piece! An simple ironstone pitcher with flowers is all you really need on top. Try not to over clutter your piece when taking pictures.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">For many of us Furniture Rehabbers, we need to put into account several factors!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">The cost of the piece of furniture.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">The time it takes to go get the piece of furniture and the gas we spend getting there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">The cost of our products needed to refinish each piece:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">You should factor all of this when pricing your piece.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Happy Sunday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">It's been a very busy week here rehabbing furniture for clients. I have to say I am becoming quite addicted. Here is another buffet that I just finished I wanted to share with you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">This piece was originally a dark mahogany in color. I usually love keeping the top a wood finish, however this particular buffet had a lot of veneer damage so I decided to paint the top with my favorite Annie Sloan "French Linen" color. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">I wanted this piece to be more distressed than usual.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">I first needed to fix the top. This time I chose to use Auto Body filler instead of wood filler. If you are going to paint a piece, the Auto Body putting is stronger and will not chip out like the wood putty does.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">As you can see below, there was quite a bit of veneer damage that needed to be fixed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">A little bit of filling in with Auto Body Putty, than once dry sanding a bit with my palm sander and I was ready to start painting!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">I prefer to distress using the "Wet" method instead of using sand paper. You can see more of the colors using the wet sponge, by just rubbing the wet sponge until the next color starts to show through, instead of using sand paper where you go directly to the wood.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">This seems like a lot of steps, but once I figured out the look I wanted, my next piece went pretty fast.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Happy Thursday! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's been a while since I've posted, but I have been so busy on furniture projects for clients! I wanted to share one of them with you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This lovely 1920's Chifferobe Wardrobe..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I found this Chifferobe on Craigslist. Wow...was it beat up! I was not really expecting all of the prep work before I actually started painting this but in the end, a sturdy piece of furniture is key when you are selling! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To fill in all of the broken veneer, I used wood putty then sanded down once dry. You can see the clamps holding a piece in place while some glue was drying:)</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">This piece was going to be done in my favorite color palette, using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. First, I had to make a trip to my favorite Annie Sloan Stockist in Fredericksburg, VA - <a href="http://www.emporiollc.com/">Emporio</a>. They fully stock all of Annie Sloan products. I absolutely love this place and they are always so helpful with questions I may have!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The palette choice will be French Linen as base, Old White as second color, Cocoa as the Wash, followed by a dry brush of Old White, and then clear wax to seal it off.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I first applied these amazing wreath furniture appliques that I found on Ebay with Wood Glue and allowed them to completely dry before painting the piece.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1) First coat - French Linen</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2) Second Coat - Old White</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When I paint the Old White on I use short strokes allowing the French Linen to show through.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3) Third Coat - Cocoa Wash</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4) Lightly Go Over Again With Old White Here and There</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">5) Seal The Piece With Annie Sloan Clear Wax</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I always finish the inside of the piece of furniture with a contrasting color or the same. In this piece I used the Old White for the inside of the entire piece, but the insides of drawers were done the French Linen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I absolutely adore the way it turned out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I always love doing this color combination ~ just in case it does not sell, it will always look lovely in mine:)</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You can see how the Cocoa Wash shows up in all of the corners of the Wardrobe. This was done by dry brushing before sealing with the clear wax.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was so excited to come across this wonderful old wooden Rocking Horse at the Goodwill. The only problem was the rocker was broken in 3 places, and the colors were not in my theme. But, it was marked down to an amazing $12.00 and I love a good bargain...so that here we are!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took the rocker part off and removed the black tail, then the chalking began!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a base coat of French Linen which is a wonderful warm grey color and allowed paint to dry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then brushed the entire horse with a coat of Elmer's Glue and let the glue rest about 15 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then applied a nice coat of Annie Sloan Pure White over the damp glue and allowed the paint to dry thoroughly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When the paint started to dry, the glue underneath started to pull and made the white "crackle". This allowed the grey to show through once the paint was totally dry.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A little bit of sanding, some dry brushing with more French Linen and a new tail out of jute and this horse now has a totally new look.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been working on a new piece that I have recently found in my search for European style furniture. This piece had the most amazing wood detail that it was a no brainer when I saw it posted I had to go check it out. I am ecstatic with the results and hope that you will find this post inspiring for your next chalk paint piece! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I started by cleaning the entire piece both inside and out with Mineral Spirits. I used a toothbrush for all of the detail areas. I usually don't do this, however this piece had a musty smell from sitting in a storage room and after the cleaning....the smell was gone!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a certain look I always do and the majority of my clients love. So we are going to start off by painting the entire piece both inside and out with Annie Sloan French Linen. French Linen is my absolute favorite to use when doing European style furniture. It has a wonderful warm grey tone that I love using as a base coat when painting furniture that have a lot of detail to the wood.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next we are going to paint over the French Linen with Annie Sloan Pure White, allowing the French Linen to show through on all the areas we have detail.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After the piece is dry, I use a damp cloth to go over all areas I would normally sand. I like the French Linen to show through on areas that would normally show "ware" with age...so using a damp rag to rub these areas works best for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Next it was just sealing with Clear Wax, and repainting all of the hardware.</span></div>
