Buying More and More AND MORE Chalk Paint

On Friday,

  Kris (my buddy and bidness partner) and I

 went up to my other buddy's new store.

We went to the new and improved....

Maison Decor!!!!!

We brought Amy, the proud proprietor, a couple of tables that I had painted,

 so that she could sell them for me,

 and that way I could get them out of my house.....

I told you guys about the first one.....

It was a coffee table that I found and reinvented.

Remember this?????

I painted the top to look like stone.....

It's now in her new shop in Reading Massachusetts, and it's dirt cheap, in my humble opinion.....

Here it is in her store, 

so go buy the damn thing, already.....

The other table that I painted and want you to buy.....

is a little Victorian gingerbread dealio that I think is really cute.

I deleted my before pictures, before I down loaded them, because I am a moron......

Soooooo.....

let me show you part of what I did to this little guy.

I started by painting the body in Cream colored Chalk Paint....

Then I started to  slap a coat of paint on the top, realized I had made a huge mistake, and quickly washed it off. 

whew.....

After the body was painted, I used a leetle brush to outline the gingerbread details in Pure White.

I had to tip it on its side, to get to all the nooks and crannies.

I even outlined the curvy parts between the legs!!!!!

I painted the edges of the legs white, also, for a little more contrast.

Then I lightly distressed the whole thing.

Here it is for sale at Amy's store, 

even cheaper that the coffee table!!!!!

The overall look of the store is more upscale than the one she had in Malden....

the girls getting sophisticated...!!!...

Before Kris and I left her new establishment.....

I dropped a whole wad of cash,

buying more Chalk Paint.

I tell ya, Amy's got me at both ends, if you know what I mean.....

That whole pile on her desk, is what I bought that day.

I swear, I drink the stuff.

I hate to think what my retirement would be like, if I hadn't found Amy who introduced me to this wonderful paint, that keeps me busy and out of trouble.

If you need me.....

I'll be down in my basement painting studio, using up more Chalk Paint, so I can then buy more, and give my buddy more bidness.....

On that note....
