Refinishing Bathroom Cabinet
Ok, first of all, no pictures. I'm sorry. Tuesday I decided that I was going to refinish the bathroom cabinet. It has 4 center drawers and double cabinets under the two sinks. I am using my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. The cupboards were painted an incredibly ugly green. And I like green. So far, the 4 drawer fronts are finished, yeah, painted and waxed. I am painting the doors, did the insides yesterday, 2 coats each=4. As I write, I have just put the first coat of the paint on the fronts.(I'm taking a break) I have chosen graphite with a dark paste. It is really turning out nice. I already painted the walls SW Oyster Bay. I have nickel pulls and knobs from my stash. And will be using aqua/green for accents. I WILL PUT UP PICTURES. I promise. Need to get back. I might even get to start waxing them today. Next the cabinet.

New Year - New Projects
I really appreciate you all that have answered or commented on my comments. I have found quite a few things, Burlap Garland (love it), made quite a few for Christmas presents and for myself.
I took an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint class last week. I had been using the paint but wanted to learn the 'right way' to use the waxes. I love this paint, now, I know why everyone uses it. So easy. And, yes, I know, I need to post pictures. I have become awful about taking pictures. I didn't take any at Christmas! Shame on me!
I had a week of post Christmas depression, which, is pretty good for me, I usually have it for 2 months. It hasn't been fun knowing every year this was going to happen, but, I always pull out of it and it was quicker this year. (Thanks Annie Sloan)
I have also started a French class. I did take french for 6 years, eons ago, I can speak some, read about all, but want conversational. Unless I go to France I probably won't be taking pictures. lol
Well, I wish everyone a very happy New Year. And I will work on the pictures!?
God bless you all
