Welcome to my little 'ol Savvy Shanty. My spot in the world where I can unleash my creative juices in all shapes and sizes. Hope you will drop by every now and then and check out what is going on around here.
Latest project was this bench, given to me by my Grandparents over 10 years ago. From day one, I had plans of painting it. Once I got my hands on a can of Annie Sloan chalk paint http://www.anniesloan.com/, that was all she wrote! I was off and running. This really is the best paint in the world!
Here is the before:
And the after:
The paint color is Louis Blue, a bit distressed, Antique White watered down, brushed on and swiped off and clear wax. The letters were cut from my Cricut and stenciled on. I mixed some black acrylic with a little Antique White and dabbed it on.
Enjoy,
ginger
