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!!

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

  5. 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 :)
