Well brunettes are fine, man
Blondes are fun ( I can vouch for that btw )
But when it comes to getting the dirty job done
I'll take a Red Headed Woman................
A little Bruce Springsteen to start your day off
And a Red Headed Woman to go with it..................
For those of you that haven't jumped on the Chalk Paint craze yet - and find it costly - 1 tin
covered the above dresser and the below dresser
and there's enough left to paint - oh I don't know - a mirror - or a small stool...............so the coverage is amazing
add that to the fact that you don't have to use a primer ( which can be costly in and of itself )
and you really do have an affordable paint here...................
Paints used
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Emperor's Silk
Rustoleum Spray - Black for handles
This one lasted a day - and it was signed - sealed - and to be delivered this afternoon
Have a great Thursday all!
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteWow! Love that red color!
ReplyDeleteamazing colour!! i must find somewhere in my state to try out that paint (in australia)... i know it can be bought over east but havent seen it anywhere my side of the country~
ReplyDeletePretty! There is something about a piece of red furniture. One of the local shops (ASCP stockist) had the most gorgeous Emperor's Silk painted Queen Anne style sideboard on the front porch. I almost wrecked the car when I drove by. It was painted beautifully with highlights in gold and then dark waxed over top. Absolutely stunning. (I still think about that sideboard and get a little weak in the knees...)
ReplyDeleteJust perfect! Love Emperors Silk, just the best red going!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Suzan I really wish I lived over there as I have seen a couple of your pieces that should have my name on them...I wonder how much to ship to Australia ha ha and hey I know it dosnt look like it as my hair has faded as I got sick but I am a fiery red head it just that the fire has dimmed a little-love dee x
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the red!! Absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. The red is a favorite of mine. The piece turned out perfect.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Suzan! Wow, that's a fast turnaround! Love your work.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! No priming, no sanding, and fast drying time saves you time=money!
ReplyDeleteArda
Cost effective!!!!!!!!
DeleteXOX
I'm not surprised it sold right away, it's flippin gorgeous!! Dee from My Painted Stuff
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! I really do love that color and I'm going to have to give it a go. I'm also thinking of becoming a redhead again...
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! Elegant!!
ReplyDeleteThat's one hot tomato.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful piece you are the Furniture Whisper for sure!!! You know exactly what these pieces need to become beauty's!!! Love the red.
ReplyDeleteKris
And I bet they love it. Another job well done. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, you certainly have me sold! I've been researching information online and I am ready to jump in with both feet. I've even found a shop in a neighbouring town that sells this paint, so I can pop in and chat with the owners. I've already made a list of items in the house that I'd like to refinish. This is going to be exciting! My husband was joking that if I really enjoy this, there will be nothing in the house that will be safe from my paint brush ;)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Love the red. Did you wax it too?
ReplyDeleteHow did you seal this piece? Absolutely beautiful! One of my favorite colors too!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! the paint is amazing, coverage is amazing, and it is not that expensive when you price latex and primer both! Besides latex is horrid to paint with inside and I can't always work outside! I love the fact that I can grab my brush and do a project whenever I want - right on my dining room table! I just painted a mirror frame today - to get it out of the project pile and onto the wall!
ReplyDeletelook at you painting machine. I can vouch about red heads, I have a 5 year old one, and she is fisty
ReplyDeleteOh you know I love The Boss! Love this new red dresser too!
ReplyDeleteI wish red sold around here....everyone likes boring white or off-white. Maybe a blue here and there. :( I love your Lady in Red!
ReplyDeleteShe's spicy!
ReplyDelete;P I'm a redheaded woman! And I like this one!
ReplyDeleteLove it....as usual! Your projects are always gorgeous!

Wow it's beautiful. You really did a terrific job on the chest.

Emperors Silk is one of my favourite colours. In fact, I'm sitting here looking at the first ASCP project I did and it was Emperor's Silk. Love how your dressers turned out. No wonder it sold so quickly, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! I'd have snapped that up in a heartbeat--both of them! Guess I'm going to have to do one myself. Must find that paint!
ReplyDeleteBruce is right, blondes, we are fun, but obviously, your red-head is glamorous!
ReplyDeleteHi suzann,,,,youre right about redheads. We,re unique. Gorgeous dresser, did i miss the wedding? Am taking a recovery vacation from surgery. Chris

ReplyDeleteThis is true about redheads, we are unique, even though, mine comes from the salon...does that count. Huge Springsteen fan by the way. I have a drum stick I caught from Max at one of a million concerts I have seen.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous job! Love the color.

A piece in red and a piece in black always grounds a room no matter the decor style. Love that color.
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous! I did a desk in Emperor's Silk this week for a client, it was so much fun to paint with such a vibrant colour. Everybody always wants neutrals, so I enjoyed that. And you sold yours in no time at all, proving that once it's done in red, people love it!
ReplyDeleteSuzan - this red headed woman loves the transformation! Hugs, Holly
