The Melon Patch Blog

I hope you have a wonderful day with your family, I am spending the day with my mother who is 88 and my son… my daughter still in Sweden , school almost done, hopefully home soon.

I have a cold/flu for the last week and I am looking forward to some rest and painting this weekend.

Remember the chairs I bought last summer, at a garage sale?

 

 

I have been working on them  slowly and they will be ready soon. I chose  French Linen from Annie Sloan Chalk Paint  and I found some exciting fabric. I hope to have them finished this week. It is has been a while , the painting the easy part the fabric took some hunting.

Until Next time

A had a few hours last weekend to get some work done. I was able to work on a couple projects that I have been wanting to do for sometime.

A little bench/ stool with lovely cabriolet  legs with the French laundered panel. Coco from Annie Sloan chalk paint with some clear and dark wax

 

 

The other a lovely old frame but it was spray painted with a Brassy gold colour ,  I used three different colours of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, Antoinette,Pure White and French Linen, and a bit of dark wax

The paint went over the surface with no issues. Each time I use it and it always amazes me that there are no problems .

 

 

 

 

Until Next time
