Yes, I did it. After months of hearing everyone rave about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, I finally splurged and bought two quarts. I could hardly contain myself when they arrived yesterday. I didn't waste any time painting these Goodwill candle sconces. I chose Antoinette for them which is a soft pink. These will be going in our bedroom once my husband re-paints the room. I enjoyed using the paint but is it me or is...

Finally, I decided to test some Avery label paper on the canvas part and here's how they came out: I love...
I've had these tall wooden spools for a few years now. I purchased them from Home Goods and they originally had a country motif. I was in the mood for a change so I stripped them down and gave them a quickie French makeover: I printed my images onto Avery label paper.
