Florence Blue VINTAGE Hutch and Buffet ( Annie Sloan Chalk Paint )


 Dear friends, It's been a whirl wind couple of weeks what with keeping up with gardening, and re-stocking my booth Burlap and Bling but it's been lots of fun too! 
Some of you may have already had a peak at my latest finished piece painted with Florence ( Annie Sloan Chalk Paint ) on the group page Burlap and Bling,  but I wanted to share it here as well just in case some of you missed it! This color reminds me Caribbean blue water, native American turquoise,  the color on a 1950's Thunderbird and the cheeriest of summer cottages. 



I chose to use this color " full strength" and finish Miss Florence with minimal distressing and clear wax.




I kept most of her original hardware, but updated her with some pretty glass knobs so she's ready to serve in cottage style!

 

 The color is a little green in the above photo, but I wanted to show you the distressing on the door  fronts.
  

Here she is all tucked in to Burlap and Bling! I hope someone adopts her soon!  She was a tough one to rescue being so big and all! Oh, I ended up leaving the back open but thanks so much for all your feedback! The burlap you see in the background is my " wall paper " in my booth! 
I've added a new tab at the top of my page for all of my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Projects!
Check in often so see the latest " painted ladies" from Dandelion House!
