Well today I started the Kitchen remodel. I went this weekend and bought some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and painted the island in the kitchen. I am pleased with the results although I am still waiting on the second coat to dry.
The basic steps to working with Annie Sloan paint are as follows….
- Paint base coat, let dry
- If layering colors, paint second color, let dry
- Apply thin coat of clear wax all over piece with brush or rag, wipe excess
- If you want a worn appearance, sand when the clear wax is wet
- If you want aged appearance, apply dark wax over the clear wax, wipe excess with rag or rage dipped in clear wax
- Wipe Excess wax
- Allow to dry, min 24 hours
- Buff with a rag if you want more sheen
I will say the paint went on very well. I used a paint brush, and painted right out of the can. It got thick towards the end, so next time I will definitely pour the paint into a cup or something to prevent that.

After two Coats before Wax
After a couple weeks!
Next I get started on the rest of the cabinets, painting them pure white.
Finally, I paint the walls. I mixed the Provence annie sloan paint with pure white wall paint to get a lighter version of the color I painted the island. |

Hi! I am a woman who loves to do a lot of things. I am very adventurous because I love trying new things! When I go to a restaurant I don't mind ordering something new at all. I mean my new favorite dish may be on that menu somewhere just waiting on me to try it! I also love to travel. I have been to a lot of different places and I love to take photos and tell about my journeys.
While on my journey of trying new things, or traveling to new places, or just living my life; I occasionally want to jot some things down. This is my jotting down spot. I consider a lot of things, and hopefully you will enjoy reading about them. If you don't then just move along. No need to comment and be all ugly. I mean this is my place, not yours. Mama always says, "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all." So let's just keep that in mind!!
I do welcome feedback and encouragement though. If you have something that will help my blog out then please leave me a comment. Thanks, and it is so good to meet you!!
