Marcel and I have been doing some painting in our home and sprucing things up for a while now. We have had so much on our ‘to do list’ when it comes to the house, but we finally actually decided to make it happen this year.
He’s doing the painting of the walls, but I have had a few ideas and projects on my own brewing. A friend gave me an old window and frame when she moved, and I have had it stored in the shed waiting for inspiration to strike as to how I wanted to use it.
Once the painting in the living room was done, it hit me that I wanted to hang the window on the wall behind the sofa- I also thought it would be nice to hang a shelf under it- and set a few things on the shelf that makes me smile. Then came the decision on what color I wanted to do the window and the shelf. Since I love the darker, cranberry red color (or any red, but the cranberry goes well within our home), I decided to order some Annie Sloan chalk paint and paint both the shelf and the window frame with it. I’ve had that plan for about a month now, but FINALLY I took the step and ordered the paint today. Hopefully, with a little luck I’ll have it within a few days and can begin on the project this weekend.
In addition, I have a couple of photo frames that I think would look good with the same color-
The ideas and inspirations are flowing, and I can’t wait to see it all come together. Have you used Annie Sloan paint? How did you enjoy using it?
