Lighten Up

May 1, 2018

Cabin fever, April snowstorms and the absence of spring most certainly had the four walls of this house closing in on me thus giving me too much time to dream up some home projects. The longest lasting winter ever has pushed me over the edge to wanting to lighten up everything in the house, making it brighter and hopefully giving the feeling of freshness and cheer.

One can of Chiffon Cream Chalk Paint and I set to work eyeing up my targets. Picture frames and candle pillars were the first to go.

I probably could have done a primer paint, but who has time when trying to get a project completed during nap time. I did 3-4 coats of spray paint letting each coat dry a few minutes in between. After drying for an hour I took fine grade sandpaper and distressed the corners and ridges lightly. Loving the end result! Watch out end tables, you may be next.
