Waterfall Weekend.

Since I can't get to an actual waterfall, there's the next best thing: Painting a waterfall dresser.
It's summer. It's hot. It's humid. It's a perfect time to paint outside.
It was the prime opportunity to bring this piece back to life.

I pretended I was on a stay-cation with my paintbrush and Pandora. I had a pretty productive weekend. There was laundry, a closet cleaned out and I even paid my children to wash my car. (I'm not above bribery.)

The blue is Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint - Provence. The white is an 'oops' paint I picked at my local hardware store. The mix is 1/2 cup creamy white, 1/4 heaping cup plaster of paris, 1/4 cup warm water. When it was dry, I distressed it a bit and waxed with paste wax to give it a light sheen.

Good clean fun. She came a long way. From stained neglect to fresh and fabulous.

Now, if only I had Monday off to make it a Real Stay-cation. Oh well. A girl can dream. At least there's coffee and what's really important: French Vanilla creamer.
xo jeanne.
