Chalk paint

I nabbed a fabulous wooden dresser at the sketchy thrift on 251.  It required me borrowing Trudy's van and hauling it home and then in to my duplex. 

After 2 coats of Annie Sloan's Florence  (teal-ish) chalk paint and a coat of clear wax, I went knob-hunting.  Thankfully the Hobby Lobby had all their knobs 50% off and I had just enough 2-day's worth dog-sitting/dog-walking cash to purchase said half off knobs and a sign that says "Life is better with a cat."

I am thinking Bryan needs that sign especially after he text me how his Chloe caught a mouse and remove the head and tail gifting both to her beloved cat dad.  She then ate the deceased mouse's body and promptly barfed it up.  Gift that keeps on giving. 

The dresser turned coffee bar turned out exactly how I pictured it.

Next week I want to paint the dresser's mirror with chalkboard black paint and then paint the trim the Florence teal color.

I forgot how much I love painting.  Not enough to start another craft addiction but I sure do enjoy it.  I am now picturing my 2nd painting project - a fun bookshelf for a new munchkin arriving in July-August. 

Not only was painting and knob-hunting involved but now that it is done, I want to find fabric remnants and make a runner and coordinating cloth napkins for my dining room table.  Did I mention that the coffee bar had to go in my dining room area?  It did.  It was too long for my kitchen.  This is totally fine.  Now I will be on the hunt for a cart or shelf to put in my kitchen cause let's be honest, I need some sort of catchall by the door.
