The Itch to Paint

I’ve had the serious itch to paint lately. I think I’ve had too much time away from my brushes. Or maybe it’s the “no lifting anything over 5 lbs” that makes me feel even more rebellious. Whatever the reason, I spent the other day painting a few new projects.

I picked up this wooden rocking horse several months ago.  I love old rocking horses because they remind me of my Dad.  Every time I see one, my heart melts a little.  I gave this rocking horse a coat of Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint followed by a light sanding and finished with dark paste wax.

At first, I was thinking about taking it to the booth. But as soon as I finished it, I knew it had found a home in my office.

I also painted this tool bench using the same color milk paint.

I loved the way it turned out with all that chippy goodness.

I brought it to the booth this past weekend.  It was a hard one to let go.  It’s totally my farmhouse cottage style.

Late last week, I bought this dresser in a panic.  I could tell from daily sales emails my booth was starting to look pretty sparse.  Sometimes, I go out shopping and come home empty handed. I had no idea if I was going to be able to find any furniture but I knew I needed something pretty quickly. I headed to this secret spot I call The Warehouse.

Luckily, this dresser was waiting on me.  I was able to transform it with a few coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  We delivered it to The Pickers Market this past weekend as well.

I still have a table, china hutch, tall dresser and cabinet all waiting to be painted in the garage.   It’s going to be a busy few days but I am so excited to be painting again!

Many blessings,
