It's a WOW Monday morning!

Good morning everyone -

Another fingers flying across the keyboard kind of post - I am so over the top over this latest find - I can't put it into words................
So I'm just going to show some photos before I calm down a little..................





The newest set being brought home next weekend!!!!
OMG - I am so over the top excited to see this set redone - it screams Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to me -
Duck egg blue with dark wax to be precise - something along the lines of this one ( click to see the makeover if you missed that one!!! )


Another labor of love on it's way!!!
You are going to be so bombarded with furniture makeovers after next week that you'll be sick to death of them.
Have a good one all - anxious to hear what  you all think about my newest finds!  Does anyone else get this excited about new pieces to paint?
I hear there's medication for this ailment LOL

    Suzan- WHERE the heck did you find those pieces? They are amazing! I am just in love with them. I can't wait to see you work your magic on them- I know they are going to be wonderful. Are they coming to your house for the redos? Oh- I am SO excited for you! xo Diana

    It will look fabulous when you do that voodoo that you do! I think that old "French Provincial" pieces from the 60s and 70s all need to be found and chalk painted! Duck Egg or Louis will look good on these or one of the greys. (I would go crazy over it in Versailles!) Yard sale season is fast approaching and there will be cheap furniture! I know I am excited...even though I already have at LEAST 10 pieces sitting in the house that need painting right now.

    Oh my goodness!!! Where do you find all of this wonderful stuff! I completely understand your joy on these absolutely gorgeous pieces and I see them already done. They will look awesome anyways!
    Wishing you so much fun playing with them!

    Sad that we don't have yard sales and Craigs List over here. I wish I could just hop overseas and strive through those sales and have fun...It's all so different here.

    Much love! Dina

    That set just yells your name. I will not get sick of furniture makeovers. In fact, I have a nightstand in my current bedroom redo that I am stuck over what to do with. I need to peruse your post history and get inspired.

    Oh, I hate them! I mean that weird cream and gold rim... Huh! But the shape is amazing... They are screaming "potential here!!!". I can't wait to see how it looks in duck egg (which might be the next sample I buy, depending on if you inspire me or not - no pressure!). About those brain cells we were talking about, watering them can help grow some new - tea and hot port work for me!

    It's going to be so gorgeous - the headboard is amazing as is, but with the duck Egg blue on it. Wow, wow, wow. I've used Duck Egg, but haven't dark waxed it and love how it looks. Going to have to try it on a board to see if it works as well for me.
