Nothing is Safe

I spent several hours cleaning my studio again this past weekend. It amazes me how it can get so cluttered up when I haven't even been doing anything in there. I did find a small chair to replace the yellow one. (DIL was selling it at a garage sale.) It's perfect in every way except that I'm having a hard time getting it cleaned. An added bonus, my little pillow matched. I found the black table at Hobby Lobby on Friday marked for clearance.  I covered the rhinestone band with fabric.

So before I go to the trouble of recovering the chair.... I'm going to make an attempt to paint it with chalk paint. I may even paint the fabric on the lamp shade. I have a collection of 4 colors now.

I am using CeCe Caldwell's Calk Paint.  One of the reasons I'm going this route is that you can paint on nearly anything and don't have to use a primer. The lady at the store has been extremely helpful. She painted an old leather sofa and it turned out gorgeous. I tried it out on a frame yesterday. The base color was the green and I added the pale turquoise. I just put a bit of the paste wax on part of it to darken some of the turquoise.

This has been a nice change from the computer. I have so many ideas of things around the house and at work to paint. Nothing is safe. I can see them running and hiding now.
