Think Pink!

You may of noticed that I have had a revamp on my blog I have decided to keep it bright, basic and a bit less floral I guess its good to have a change, I will be adding more more bits as the days go on. On to other news I took my paintbrush to Eason's toy box well I say toy box it was a old laundry basket I tried to stay away from the plastic bright boxes and opted for something that didn't look out of character in my front room. I mixed the two chalk paints that I previously used on my chandelier. 

I managed to take a picture of it before I went wild with the paintbrush.

It was all painted and dry within 30 minuets.

So my partner wired up the chandelier whilst I was asleep this morning and it worked...

I was so pleased here are few pictures of it in action.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. x

Three arm chandelier

Picked up this three arm chandelier today in a charity shop for £2 I am not sure if it works yet as the lady in the shop couldn't tell me, I really hope it does as i have had a right faff painting it.   

 I painted the whole chandelier in "Original" Annie Sloan then added "Antoinette" in areas, after it had dried I then sanded the whole piece then waxed with clear and dark. Then decided I wasn't pleased with it so white washed it with "Original" again. Due to me waxing it prior I completely forgot that wax and water does not really mix so its hanging above the window this evening to dry out.

 

Its hard work painting pieces like this as its so fiddly and hard to reach those bits underneath. I will sand it tomorrow and clear wax the beauty. Please pray for me.....and hope that it actually works. Pictures to follow. Have a lovely evening.
