China Cabinet

July 23, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

This is an old china cabinet that my husband had even before my time. Anyway, years ago I painted it black and I liked it at the time but when we decided to take it to the Island Home I wanted everything to have a light and airy feeling.  So I decided to try the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint that everyone is talking about. I used Old White and I think the cabinet looks so much better. I still need more practice with the chalk paint. I am just used to spray paint.

The pictures are not great but check out the drift wood on top of the cabinet.  FREE! I am not completely done styling this part of the room but for now I am o.k. with it.

Home Sign

This is a piece of wood that washed up at high tide.  I love the sun bleached grey colors.  I think it is part of a bushel basket.

I went to Michaels and found the letters and thought they would be perfect.  I spray painted them Gloss Classic Gray from Krylon which I also found at Michaels.  I think this will look perfect hanging in the foyer next to my mirror.  I will post more photos once all the painting and drywall repair work is done and I have had a chance to place everything back into each room.

UPDATE

Here is the the home sign in my foyer at the Island Home.

 So for less than six dollars, I have a unique one of a kind sign for my home!

Milk Cans

July 23, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

photo-2 copy   My Husband had a couple of milk cans in the garage that used to be his father’s.  I decided to reuse them at the Island home but first they needed a revamp.  I had to sand them down with my sanding block. Then I used Rust-Oleum primer and  painter’s touch in semi-gloss white. On the first milk can, I added black letters from Michaels.  On the second milk can I used Krylon classic gray for the stripe.  I might add a few more stripes but for the moment I am happy with what I have.  I like the gray stripe because it matches the gray lettering in my home sign.  I think I will place all of my reused items in the foyer of the house.  I will add more before and after pictures once I have everything back in the house and I can show you the complete transformation which should be really soon!

Well, that lasted about a day before I had to make changes.  I added the black stripe which I think ties it into the black lettering on the other milk can.  I think I am finished…for now!
