Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo

When it's time to choose a color of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint for a piece of furniture or other project that I'm planning, I have this handy guide to help with the decision.



I painted small squares of each color I have onto the top of a white shelving unit beneath the window in my basement workshop.  My newest color, CoCo, (thanks, Janet!!) was barely dry when I took this photo.  Having the actual paint samples on hand like this makes choosing colors a lot easier.  (I'll give you a real-life example of this when I reveal my lastest project to you in a few days.)

Happy Sunday, Everyone!!

I was lucky enough to get one of those charts sent to me with my paint. It does help, doesn't it?

They're all such great colors. I don't think I could choose just one if I had to.

I am getting ready to have my great-granmother's 1922 White (brand) sewing machine made over. A friend who does furniture restoration is doing it. Here is a link with my exact sewing machine (!) in Annie Sloan paint! Now if I could only make up my mind....!
Cannot wait to see your finished project :)

Decisions, decisions!! Good idea to have the paint samples in front of you to help you decide.
I'm voting for Caleb!! He's so doggone cute! Makes you just want to smother him with kisses, which I'm sure you have done a time or two. ;)
