Long time, no see...
I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted anything on here! Time has been moving waaaaay too fast!
In early February, I got laid off from my Graphic Design job of 19 years. I was a mess for about two weeks and it took about 6 weeks for everything to sort itself out. Now I'm feeling better about everything and am trying to make a go of my business. Along those lines, I've decided to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time - paint furniture. I've painted and decoupaged a few pieces before so I'm not entirely a newbie. But making over pieces to sell if a bit different. Customers won't be very forgiving about little mistakes so I intend to be very conscientious of making quality pieces.
Below are some photos of my first attempt at chalk painting. I'm pretty happy with it and will try selling it for $75.
Next up is a lingerie chest that my husband has been using for storage for about a million years. I'll be trying milk paint on that piece.
