Marie Antoinette at your service......................

John was going out - so I asked him to pick me up 2 tins of ASCP -

Pure White - and Antoinette

The phone rings

John says - Ok - so you want ONE PURE WHITE - and ONE MARIE ANTOINETTE?
Suzan says - Drop the Marie - just Antoinette please
John says - Well if it's called Antoinette - it must be named after Marie Antoinette
Suzan says - NO - it's just called Antoinette
Johns says - Whatever, it's the same thing
Suzan says - No - it's not - not at all - If someone's named Billy or Joe - it's not the same thing as Billy-Joe
Suzan says - If someone's name Mary or Anne it's not the same thing as Mary-Anne
Suzan says - If someone's named
John interrupts - OK - OK - I'll pick up the damn Antoinette -
John says - But I think Annie named it after Marie Antoinette -
John says - Why don't you send her a twit and ask her?
Suzan says - Send her a TWIT?  Is that short for Twitter?  Or did you mean Tweet?
John says - Yeah - don't play dumb - you know exactly what a TWIT is

Actually I do..........................

twit/

noun

informal

1. a silly or foolish person.

Anyway - this headboard now has a name - 

Marie Antoinette at your service :)
Perfect for a young girls room,  ( should girls have an apostrophe?  Who cares? )

This particular piece is soooo busy with all of the detail that in the end I decided to leave it " clean " and monotone - believe it or not I outlined every single detail in white first - decided I didn't like it - it really made it look far too cluttered - so I covered it all up

Here's the before

It hasn't been waxed yet so it will be darker when it's finished  ( should will be in bold print AND italics?  Who cares? )

Ok let's see now

This set is half finished
The dresser in the guest room is half finished
The armoire in the guest room is half finished
The floor in the guest room is half finished
The outdoor dining niche is half finished
The mini outdoor kitchen is half finished

Put them all together and what do you have?

A TWIT - who doesn't know whether she's coming or going

Should I dark wax or leave it clean?

Have a wonderful day everyone
Much love,

Partying over here !!!

Blue & White are perfection ( In my humble opinion )

There's nothing like it ( in my humble opinion ) especially in an old cottage-y type of house
( where this is an alternative to changing out the floors completely )

What an unbelievable before and after ( in my humble opinion )

The other half of the floor is not done yet - because it's taking 2 coats of Zinzer primer prior to painting and then I do 3 coats of Behr's Floor paint..................I work on a half at a time always ( or if the floor is bigger
3 or 4 sections ) just so that I can hop over on to one side to continue working on other things in the room.
It's the best way to do it - in my humble opinion.

And while that's drying - I can work on this

Which fits perfectly into the nook above - and will look so much better in white
( in my humble opinion )

I've been online looking for blue and white buffalo check or gingham wallpaper - for one wall because that would just tie all of the " country " bedroom look together ( but that's just my humble opinion )

Blue and white just never get old - do they?

Or is that just my ( humble ) opinion ?

Oh and this will be put in the room - can't wait - it's been shoved in a corner of another unfinished room since we moved here - the legs kind of, sort of match the dresser !  You can see the transformation HERE

It'll need a fresh coat of paint because it's been banged around a little
And we'll be picking up this headboard tomorrow - which will also be painted white
It's a double because a queen is just too big for this teeny tiny guest room but aren't the curves pretty?
This one's a " KEEPER " - because it's just so perfect :)
Thanks Fany ♥

Have a day filled with blue skies..................and fluffy white clouds -

Much love,
Your humble servant
