Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Linky Party & a Winner

Thank you to all that entered our giveaway for our Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Holiday Basket. Wow! Over 700 of you in just 2 days - we know how much you love Chalk Paint.

We wanted to congratulate Susannah, she is the big winner and will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing! Way to go Susannah, we can't wait to see what she creates with ASCP!

Our regular Chalk Paint link party has been extended out for the holidays.

It is still open, click here to see all the projects and add yours!

Graphics Fairy accent table

Don't forget about our $548.00 Chalk Paint Giveaway!

There is still time, but hurry! It ends soon!

Click HERE for details.

Now, onto our latest little project. This little accent table was our first project with a graphic. We love the Graphics Fairy and all that she shares!

For this one, we painted the top in French Linen, took our printed out image and used the newspaper transfer method. Simply lay a piece of newspaper (classifieds work best) on the table top then place the printed graphic on top. Then use a pencil to trace the design.

Next, I just traced over the design using a black sharpie, then lightly sanded it to give it an aged look.

The base of the table was painted with Old White, then a color wash with French Linen.

What a fun, easy way to add interest to a plain little table, don't you think?

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint LInky Party!

This week's Chalk Paint Link party just snuck right up on us! Like all of you, we have been so busy lately with baking, shopping, Christmas parties and getting ready for the holidays. What a joyous time of year.

We couldn't help but feature our good friend Erin from Decor Allure, she is so darn creative and has such a great eye for seeing the potential in so many pieces. Erin created this ottoman using Old White to complete her family room makeover.

The Vintage Shabby Chicks have been busy again creating wonderful treasures. They let the beautiful details in this dresser speak for itself and just coated it with French Linen. Wonderful choice, just love the look!

With the holidays, this will be our last Chalk Paint Link Party for the year. We will keep this party open longer and will party again on January 3, 2012 (can you believe it?!)

Weekly Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Link Party

Christie from Carters Cottage (aka Annie Sloan Stockist in Illinois) had been working on this beautifully detailed secretary for a while. I love the combo of Old White and Graphite together as well as the addition of the numbers on the drawers. Christie, I think it looks right at home in your living room and should stay where it's at.

Katie from Sweetgirl Expressions found this girl (as she calls it) at goodwill and transformed this ordinary looking table with great legs and detail into a vintage looking french find.

Katie used Paris Grey (you can't get more french than that) and decided to mod podge some vintage French Ephemera onto the table and sand back to create a time worn look. Beautiful Katie!
