Thanks to my customer & blog friend Kathe, I've learned of a workshop nearby in Arlington Wa. where they teach an all day class on Ann Sloan Chalk painting and Creating the French Look, the shop "Bella Bunglalow", We have an oak table (it's 30 years old) that isn't pretty I'd like to practice on using the technique below.
Kellyanne from Bella Bungalow literally dusted off the cobwebs from this fabulous old chair. With Annie Sloan paint, there was no need for primer or sanding.
Kellyanne used a wash technique on the arms, a single layer of paint on the legs and a crackle technique on the front and top of the chair. All followed up by a little dark wax.
From start to finish, including drying time, the project took 45 minutes.
Duck Egg Blue French Bed
YUM
French bed painted Duck Egg Blue with a little Old White in it, with Old White on the moulding aged with a little Dark wax.

It'll be fun to see your "before" and "after" pictures when you get your project done :)
I love this look I would love to get some chalk paint and try this out on several pieces of vintage furniture I have.
