running out of ASCP

I am running very very low on my supplies - little bits left in the bottom of the tins, certainly not enough to paint a whole dresser with 2 coats so this is how I used them up

just finished waxing it so the handles wills have to wait until tomorrow - and pls excuse that pitiful staging photo - talk about desperately just grabbing the first things on hand lol - which is exactly what I did - come on Owl, you'll do ( not - looks lost the poor thing )

this piece makes me smile - doesn't it look cheerful? I think it looks like Spring personified and makes me wish I had a summer cottage, badly.
Oh the furniture I could redo for a little place by the lake........................

Paint colors are Country Grey, Paloma, Duck Egg Blue and White ( pure white - not the old white )
No sanding - no distressing - just frog tape and paint

Oh almost forgot the before photo!!!

Have a good one all

ENGLAND SWINGS (like a pendulum do )

Cannot get this song out of my head.....................you have to be of a certain age to even have ever heard it - but there was a lot of Roger Miller played in my house growing up ( and Merle Haggard - my mother had crushes on both of them, .)  I have been singing it all night ( John asked me to please stop - hah - fat chance big boy ( he's from England ) unless you want me to start singing Silver Wings - or Mama Tried tee hee.

Ok - sorry - no before photo here - but here we go - this is a children's desk
Westminster Abbey - the Tower of Big Ben and.........................?
The rosy red cheeks of the little children - told you I couldn't stop - and I'm singing it as I'm typing.

I haven't waxed it yet - but that should be done today and ready to list tomorrow
It's missing the slim red stripes - but I had quite a disaster with that so this is how it's staying.

have also started one for one of my daughters ( who has been asking for one forever ) like the shoemakers family that had no shoes really.

When I went to get the paint colors I told the store clerk that I needed help choosing the perfect blue for the Union Jack - " don't look at me " he said - " I don't know jack about flags "

On another note ( complete random thought ) I went into the kitchen tonight to get a screwdriver that I left on the counter - and by the time I got there I had completely forgotten why I had gone to the kitchen at all ( this happens quite frequently to me - hope it's just a very crowded mind! ) anyways there was a giant chocolate bar just sitting there - and I don't understand the physics about how these things happen but it jumped off the counter into my hands so told myself that that must have been the reason I was there.
THEN - walked back into the kitchen to get my screwdriver, stuffed and quite contented.

Happy Saturday All.
