Good morning! I’m getting used to the new WP blog so apologize ahead of time for some of the goof:-) I’ll figure it out eventually but wanted to get a post up! This weekend has been full of wonderful new followers to the blog and Facebook thanks to Miss Mustard Seed having a wonderful give away for me. Welcome to you all! I hope at least a few of you are in my local area, DC Metro, so we can meet at some point.
This week I found many many goodies and hence I have my garage, my parents garage, my basement and the driveway FULL of projects. I actually posted many of them on my Etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/stylishpatina, to give folks the opportunity to buy “raw” pieces and refresh them themselves OR you pick the paint color and I can do a custom job for you.
Here is a little project I just finished. This I did with Annie Sloan Old White and Old Violet. I just love this color combo. This little items could be used as a night stand, a TV stand or even in a living room. I just adore it! Her stats are — 32″wide 20″deep 29″tall. I think I’ll call her Violet:-) Violet has brand new glass knobs as well. She is now looking for a new home. She is $145.

looks GREAT! Going to pick up an antique dresser today ~ thanks for the insperation!
Violet turned out beautifully. Did you use the dark wax on it? I have noticed that your projects with Old White seem more of a bright white than those of other bloggers. I am going to be ordering my first container of ASCP and I am a bit confused. Help.

I usually use clear wax:-) Violet is done in clear wax!
Hi, Kelly,
I live in the Richmond, VA area and I was THRILLED to hear about your blog and to see that you are selling Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in NOVA. I believe you are the closest stockist to Richmond. I see you are planning classes/workshops soon and hope I can get into one. I love using the paint but being new to painting furniture I can use some expert tips. I’ve been painting small things but I have a large bookcase on my list and I need some motivation.
I’m enjoying your blog and love your work. The entertainment center in graphite looks so good!!
Hi Yvonne, I will be offering classes in the future I think October is the goal:-) Keep checking back for updates!
Thanks for following!
love this!!!! you have such great ideas.
This is absolutely stunning! It is soooo time for me to take the ASCP plunge! Keep up the beautiful work!
So excited to find your page!
Hi Kelly,
First – your stuff is amazing! And I have a little dresser just like this one I want to refinish.
But I’m confused on what “wax polish” is? Can you inform me a little more? Did you still use paint?
thanks!!!!
Hi!
The furniture wax you put on after the paint and it brings out the distressing and make a nice smooth finished surface. Annie Sloan makes wax but you can also use Johnson’s from Home Depot and it’s great too!
