Rustic Rehab

Who remembers those old school french provincial bedroom sets we all had or wanted as little girls? Well now they make incredibly cute entertainment centers.  By the way, am I the only one who finds it insanely hard to SAY french provincial? -Amber    

I'm not going to lie, I love painting these old school desks. They're so much pleasure in bringing life back into something that most people would throw.  The design came from a client of mine that wanted this chair to match her little girls bedding (see picture below).  Isn't it the cutest? Makes me wish my kids were little bitty again. -Amber

Ok, how sweet is this baby bed?  I used CeCe Caldwell's chalk paint so it would be safe for the little one.  Here's the 'before pic' -Amber

CeCe Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise, CeCe Caldwell's Simply White, Ce Ce Caldwells Clear Wax & Endurance Finish.  

I used Behr's Powdered Snow & Grey Morning. Grey Morning is as close to Annie Sloan's Duck Egg Blue as it can get.  I don't mind using chalk paint, as a matter of fact, my first few pieces were nothing but CeCe Caldwell's paint. BUT some days I just don't want to. :-)

I've been waist deep in customs here lately, but I've been DYING to do something funky & fun. So when this piece came along & my client specifically said "do something girly & funky" I already knew what I wanted to do.  BEFORE... AFTER!! -Amber
