Painting furniture party!
I saw Cindy was having a painted furniture party and I thought I would put a quick post together of some projects I have done this past year.
I have a lot of new readers that may never have seen them, so why not show you in one post.
First off, let me tell you, I was, and hopefully still known as the "spray paint queen".
Love me some spray paint. However, since Annie Sloan chalk paint has been exposed, I have put down the can for now and moved on to bigger better things. No offense Krylon, but you have nothing on Annie.
I started with our guest room furniture:
It was black, and I used this pretty duck egg blue...
The can lasted forever, and I went on to paint some more....
This is an end table in our master bedroom...was a very dark espresso color originally.
The blue did not stop there, it went on and on..
and on....
Then I was given a can of cream for hosting a giveaway..and decided I would totally transform our bedroom furniture, it was a risk and a lot of work, but the end result was so worth it.
Annie Sloan paint continued to make her way in our home...
And I started to do little projects..
I realized you could paint just about anything with it..no sanding, no priming...
This little table was $1.50 from Goodwill, the paint gave it a cute new life...in the meantime,
lots of little things have received a new fresh coat of paint.
Now don't get me wrong, I still do love to use regular paint and stencils...and always will...
More paint and stencil love....

| These bar stools were fun, and the best part is COUNTRY WOMAN MAGAZINE loved them too. |
and for the record I am not getting paid to promote Annie Sloan paint, I am just giving a personal opinion on how much I have enjoyed working with it.
Spray paint, will always be my friend, and my first love, you just never forget....
It sure has been fun sharing some painted furniture projects with you.
I will be joining:
go check it out...
And if you are new to blogging, hop on in my NEWBIE party going on

Great paint projects Debbie! I love revisiting all the great work you've done!
I do LOVE spray paint!! Great projects Debbie!
Wonderful projects Debbie!! I am working on my first Annie Sloan project. In fact, that is how I celebrated my b'day yesterday.:-)
I am using a dry brush technique over paint, this morning and hoping it all works out. If it does....I'll post later this week. It is sort of a large project for my first A.S. attempt, but I decided to jump in both feet as usual.:-) I will say, some of my painting background (murals and canvas) has come in handy to cover a couple or three oopses!
I have been hearing about it in blogland. Must go find. Must go buy. Must go paint!
Ooh!! I love every bit of it. That duck egg blue is GORGEOUS. I love those stools too. And yes, I've given the ol'spray paint a whirl or too on the dance floor.
Thanks for sharing. I had not realized Cindy had a party going. Must head on over.
XOXO
All your projects are wonderful! I really love the piece with the stenciled top!
hey - thanks for stopping by. I love the burlap post btw! sooo cool. and we buy rice at costco - in bags - that I love - so now I know what to do with them! w00h00!!
You asked about blog name - blogger lets you have a url and a blog name - can't change the url CAN change the "title" which needed to change - and it'll change again I'm sure :)

Debbie are your projects are beautiful! I have a question though. Does the paint feel like a chalk board? Is that a dumb question? I just keep picturing rough tables etc. I really want to try this,but that is my reserve.
Connie
You have had so many great paint project & this post is a nice way to showcase various projects. I enjoyed it!
Everything looks fantastic Debbie! I have heard great things about this paint and I am going to HAVE to get some! I have a buffet I want to paint and the thought of no sanding and NO priming....makes me a happy girl!!
Love the duck egg blue color!!
Lou Cinda :)
I do like that duck egg blue but I'm still really amazed by the things you stencil; you have a great eye for doing just the right stencil on the right piece.
Still loving all the painted projects Debbie, but the duck egg blue is my fav:)
You are such a talent. I can barely get some trim done these days but that is life with a little one running around.
Hi Connie, NO the paint does not feel chalky at all, after the wax and buff treatment, it is a smooth finish.
It makes me tired reading this post. You've done soooo much painting!
wow, you have been a very busy bee.Beautiful and so much work,, I love the blue instead of black,, just with bits peeking through.
i know it's just paint... but I have the hardest time choosing a color scheme!
All of your pieces work well together through out your home. Beautiful.
Pat
Debbie, your bedroom is gorgeous, and I still admire it. You have tackled some big paint projects this year! :D
What great stuff you have painted and gave new life to...
Pattie
So if I want to paint my old bar stools I don't have to sand them if I use chalk paint? How do I distress them afterwards? Just use sand paper or add other paint?
Love all your pics btw:-) and I still have the CW mag open in my kitchen at your page!
I come to your blog all the time, but I didn't realize you had painted so many pieces!! Awesome!!
XO,
Jane
Geez, girl, do you ever SLEEP???? You are one busy bee!!!!! Great projects, glad you like the A. Sloan paints!!!
What a cute bedroom, well why stop there? You are very talented. Everything is so cute.
I love that soft blue! You know how in HGTV someone shows up at your door to do a makeover? I would love to open my door and see you standing there with a can of chalk paint in your hand! They should pay you to go around the country making our homes more beautiful! I know you'll agree! heehee! ♥
I've loved all of these! :-)
xo
Pat
I'm so glad you put these all together in one post. I enjoyed seeing them all again.
Just beautiful Deb, I love the first photo of your bedroom it gave me a great idea!!!
I also love your burlap lampshade in the last post so neat!
You have been busy, Debbie, but all your painting jobs look terrific....Christine
Debbie, I love everything, especially those stools with the chickens! I love painted furniture and I'm going to give the chalk paint a try!
Have a wonderful week!
Debbie, I love all of your paint projects. I especially love the chalk paint ones in your bedroom. Thanks for sharing at my Sizzle into Summer party.
All your paint projects look so good. My fav is still that guest room. Sooooo pretty.
Debbie, this post just shows how busy you've been. You are one amazing lady. I admire your energy and creativity.
Debbie, all of your paint projects turned out great but my favorite is the guest bedroom. I love that color!!
That was fun Debbie, I thought I had seen all of your paint projects, but I missed some ........or maybe I am so old I just don't remember them! Love them, the stools are the stand out!

I was just ready to go to bed and now you got me all riled up, wanting to go paint something! I've got about 5 cans of unused spray paint in the garage---now I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow! (By the way, I can't find the CW magazine anywhere. I'm sad.)
I'm amazed by this paint. It's all over the blogosphere....and I've yet to try it. Beautiful colors, Debbie.

I love that chalk blue-I've got to come up with something to paint that color.
You are a decorating diva, for sure. I need to get off my bottom and paint!!
The painting is wonderful on your everything. The stencil is great. You've loads of idea and inspiring.
It's fun to see the Annie paints being used in so many different ways, and on different pieces. The bedroom furniture is really a great change!
What a fun post, Debbie! How great seeing so many of your projects together! You have given your home wonderful personality and charm with paint! I'm going to have to try Annie sometime, too!
I'm trying to decide are you an over achiever or a showoff? OMG I'm impressed you are a Painting Maniac I love your post. I love chalk paint :) I have several things waiting for some Annie Sloan love! I'm doing a giveaway soon, I will be sending you an email.
That was fun! Believe it or not...I must be the only one in blogland who have not tried Annie Sloan's paints! I will have to do something about that... :)
Debbie..., just thought I let you know that the cute photo jar from the antique mall is featured on today's post here.
I agree with Lavender Dreamer,, you could have a show no problem,, your personality and skill, it would fly,,I think you should go for it,,look at all the support you would have ,, how many followers do you have,, we all could write in and say how much we want you on TV,,
Duck egg is a great color. I looks great on the headboard and night stands. I really love that shower curtain. Did I ask you already where you got it?
Love it all Deb! Your bedroom is so beautiful! I didn't realize how yellow the cream paint is - such a pretty color. That may be my next A.S.C.P. purchase.
xoxo,
Kim
