Creative week!

So, this week was a really good one, creativity and home decor wise, but also less stressful on other aspects. I was able to dedicate myself to a few painting orgies and really like the results. I finally got to try Napoleonic Blue, the color of Annie Sloan that was just recently released here, and love it. I experimented with Chalk Lime wax and this for sure will be used more often.
Plus I finally got that mirror for above my fireplace. Have been looking for a nice antique mirror forever and found the ultimative perfect one the other day.

It's dark oak wood and just fits between the shutters perfectly. It seems to be made for that place and gives the living room extra ooomph. I'm not even sure yet if I will paint it, and for as long as I didn't make a decision, it will just be pretty the way it is now.

I also finished a secretary desk custom order. Only condition was for it to match with driftwood, and other than this, my customer let me free reign. Those are the orders I love the most. It really brings out the best pieces when a customer says "do whatever you have to do to make it pretty".

Furthermore, I started messing around with chalk board paint a bit. This is actually on schedule for today, too. My daughter wants a chalkboard on her wall and knows who to turn to... 😉
