How to Save an UGLY Table with Annie Sloan Old White Chalk Paint and Shabby n Chic Rose

Hello, I'm Kate from Kate Bang Painting

Do you love saving painting furniture? I do.
I enjoy finding old unwanted pieces and giving them new life.

Here is a piece that you may find alone your travels.
Not quite antique not quite modern, but strangely a bit of both.
Perfect for painting.

If you find a piece like this I suggest a soft Old White Chalk paint.
Sand the edges slightly.
If you paint florals just add them off to the side, never in the middle.
You don't want to cover up your art with a lamp.
Don't forget to seal or wax

Good luck with your painting

Upholstering Day

Getting the house ready for some welcome guests.

Me and Patti have had 3 days of girlfriend fun. Including upholstery!

Dr. Patti also known as Patti Paint says I really needed a home makeover.

On projects like this, she's the boss and always gets the job done. Just ask her sister Dee. 

How do I say thank you. Lots of hugs, dried apples and Bistro soups.

She's a good girl. I think I'll keep her.

   

Oh yes, she also picked the paint color

Sparkling Rhinestone Recycled Flour Jar

Make a Sparkling Green Kitchen Project

Thanks for visiting my blog today

Re-use, re-claim and sparkle! I love to reclaim my bottles and jars. I find so many ways to use them. One of my favorite ways is to turn them into beautiful vintage inspired kitchen canisters. I made this one out of a reclaimed spaghetti jar, a re-purposed stretchy rhinestone bracelet and a simple label that I made on my computer.

Here is how I made it:

• Clean your jar

• Prime and paint top lid in color of your choice. I picked a creamy white

• Print out your label sheet using sticker papers

• Cut out just the word Flour in an oval shape and cover with contact paper. Leave a little extra contact paper around the edges so you will make a tight seal on your jar.

• Remove paper backing and apply to jar

• Glue your rhinestone bracelet around your label using Glass and Gem Glue. I found my glue at a craft store.

• Let dry over night

• Now your reclaimed jar has a classic, vintage, chic, glamour, gourmet and girly look and feel  

• Add flour of your choice and enjoy!
