ANOTHER HEADBOARD MAKEOVER!

Good morning everyone !

Before you wonder what I'm doing painting with everything else that's going on - let me explain that I started this piece on Thursday - before I got the call that Evan was preparing to make his way into the world :)

It was a piece that I had started LAST summer and never quite finished - it was tucked away in my storage room and dragged out again last week.

BEFORE & AFTER HEADBOARD

And so any moment that I wasn't at the hospital - I'd grab the brush and work a little more on it.
It's extremely therapeutic for me ( and we all know how much I desperately need therapy LOL ) 

ANTOINETTE & PURE WHITE PAINTED HEADBOARD

I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint ™ - Antoinette and Pure White - with clear wax and a little distressing

ANTOINETTE & PURE WHITE HEADBOARD

I wanted it to look a little shabby and a little fairy tale ( ish ) 
Wouldn't it be so pretty in a young girl's bedroom?

ASCP PAINTED HEADBOARD - PINK & WHITE

Well better than it would have looked in it's original state anyway - it wasn't very " girly " at all


Ok - off to make some more dinners for the new Mommy !

ANNIE SLOAN CHALK PAINT - ANTOINETTE & PURE WHITE

There are other things in this world besides painting furniture after all - like staring at a newborn baby :)

Have a wonderful day everyone - it's supposed to be a beautiful week here in Montreal !

Much love,
Me
