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:

Cindy for her painted furniture party,

and Kim for her WOW us Wednesday party.

We are the World, we are the children....

I love busting my posts into songs...makes me happy!!~

So I have seen some of these globe projects around here in the blogosphere.

I thought that is so cute.

I have seen them chalkboard the globe, and outline some states.

I thought I would put a Debbiedoo's special on it.

SO that I did...

What I did after I sprayed the chalkboard spray. Let it dry, then I added some scrap book stickers, cut out some pictures of my boys that I printed out, and mod podged the entire globe.

I then  took my chalk and outlined randomly....I think it's pretty cool!!~
and so do they:) They have their own customized art on a globe.
In the meantime I found some cool knobs at World Market, so I changed those out too on this
little nightstand that I recently painted and stenciled.

Still a chance HERE for that pretty necklace

I had nothing to lose were my thoughts on this cruddy little piece!
Found it at the GOODWILL, was calling my name...take me pleazzzzzzzzzz

 And cruddy it was!

 Starting to come to life, but I can't stop there....now what color combo to use?

 Yes these three go nicely together....and what do I see a knife too?

As you can see I really funked it up! and it matches the piece in the corner....

This was easy...
After my initial color was dry, all I did to the top was take some stencil tape and make an X...

I then panited two triangles the red, and two triangles the tangerine.

Once that was dry, I took my copper color with a paper towel and rubbed it all over to give the aged look.

The knife was used to scrape the piece...I just went crazy scraping the edges and top...I wanted it to look beat up...I would say it does!

I will be joining some fun parties today:
