It’s A beautiful day !
If you’re Jack the cat! Laying there on my newly ruffled down-filled cushion in the sunshine. I would rather he didn’t “lounge” in that chair, but what are you gonna do. The cats pretty much rule the roost around here.
Also wanted to give you a peek at my newly Chevron painted chest!
I am in love! Heather and I mixed the paint for the perfect blue. We started out with Anne Sloan chalk paint Aubusson Blue and Paris Gray. Heather started painting and said “you know, this looks a little country blue to me.” EEKK! I had images of stenciled little houses and ducks with mauve bows around their necks!! We ended up adding regular interior latex in a pale turquoise that I had. PERFECTION! I’m not so into bright colors like a lot of women here in Oklahoma. I’m amazed how painting this one chest updated my living room and gave it a more modern feel.
And I didn’t have to change a single accessory. Including the cat.
Thank you thank you, Heather! Jack says it’s just “puuurrrrrfect!”

I've wondered about mixing in latex paint with chalk paint. Now I know I can. Love this dresser! Heather is so talented!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty....I bet you are always tweaking this and updating that to the point where your nest is a living breathing showcase of your talents! I think everyone would love for that to be true!!
ReplyDeleteJack knows which chair is the best....cats have great taste ;)
