Her Final Resting Place

Hello World!  It's the start of a brand new week and another painting project.  It's a small project, but it does require the emptying of a china hutch and moving it off of the wall.  Anyhoo, I thought I would show you where the little table I recently reworked with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint ended up.  There was a small debate about her placement, but all has been squared away.  Without further ado, here she is with a few more things added to her. 




The picture in back is one of my sweet baby at 2 months!  I miss those days!

How do you like Chang?  That's what we call him.  A gift from my dear friend, Connie, when she moved to Kansas City and she was purging her house for her move.  

Wrapped a box in tissue paper.  The Dedicated Husband thinks it is too wrinkly.  That's the Marine in him talking.  I like the wrinkles.  

The red book is one of my favorite books in the world.  It is "My French Life" by Vicki Archer.  Fantastic!  The photography is breathtaking.  

I eventually want a bigger picture to hang on the wall in place of The Dedicated Daughter's 2 month old picture.  Just haven't found the right piece yet. 

She sits just to the left of the fireplace.  Don't worry, I have a chest picked out for the spot I took her photos in.  The chest is much bigger and will help to bring the eye down from my soaring walls.  Stay tuned.  I will also have pics of the room that is getting some new paint.  Have a good rest of the day and remember to be kind to one another.

Toodles,

  2. I love the finish on the table! It looks so soft and "worn" (but in a good way!) I think you did a great job with decorating it as well.
