A Trip to Versailles

I've taken a trip to

Versailles

this week~

well....okay....

not really.

But I have painted everything

that didn't get out of my way

in this lovely shade of

Versailles

green.

Before

After :)))

I am in love with this

Annie Sloan  Chalk Paint!

I have the  most charming Vintage store

~Second Betty's~

 just across the street

about a half a block up from my house.

And it is owned by the most delightful couple ~

Mike and Cindy.

Not only do they have lovely items of all sorts,

they also carry this fabulous paint.

I purchased this dining room table about 3 years ago

from another shop downtown when it closed.

The owner had used it in her farmhouse at one time.

Although I love it, I always intended to paint it.

I am quite happy with the fresh new look!

I think I will purchase a can of

Old White

and repaint the legs with it.

While in the midst of my painting frenzy,

I happened to spy a coffee table sitting on the curb 2 doors over.

The young man is moving out and no longer wanted it :)

So....

I helped myself!

This is what it looked like.

Ick!!!

But NO WORRIES....

I had plenty of paint left.

This is what it looks like now :)))

It's just perfect under the window in my upstairs office.

I really needed a place for my overflow of books

{and, of course, a few more pretties}.

So~

What have all of you been up to this fine week?

P.S. My Mother began to worry I might paint the dogs if they didn't stay out of the way.

Well... there is still some paint in the can.....
