Painting: Advice on chalk paint and wax.

I have an old fat pine mantle that came from my gran's old home place. It's heavy as sin and practically petrified. I've moved it 1000 times, it seems. I want to paint it with chalk ...»
paint and distress to the point of seeing wood grain....maybe more of a pickling effect. I plan to mount it on exterior wall under cover of overhang, them place my old coal grate in front of it, creating an outdoor fire site. I don't know anything about this waxing process. Want to know what kind and how much wax to use, and how to use it.

    Hi ...»

    I really like the look of milk paint. Is there any application for which you would NOT recommend it?

  • This is a silver tray with a Scottish theme.  I stayed at  a Scottish Bed and Breakfast on vacation and took this project along to work on and finished it in one weekend and left it for the Innkeeper as a token of my appreciation. 2

My Refurbished Furniture

Antique headboard I refinished to go with my decor for my bedroom, and an old white shutter I bought at a yard sale and made into a wall decoration for hanging hats or jewelry or whatever I choose.

  • Recently did my kitchen over... love the look and the feel.. Not a large space but the white cabinets and the new window really open it up.. My "baby Island" comes in very handy! 6

My new kitchen was a blast to create and the final product makes me happy!

    What a unique idea. I like it, but I wouldn't want to dust it.

  • New Courtyard:  After raking up tons of leaves we found lots of roots from the magnolia tree.  We hauled in dirt and sand, leveled the yard and begin placing 12x12 blocks.  A walkway was made with repurposed bricks from a home that was torn down.  The gravel between the bricks and the blocks was left over from another project.  We scavenged the rocks from a relocated house site.  Many of the flower pots were found at yard sales.  A 2 seater swing allows us a place to enjoy our morning coffee 1
  • The courtyard is divided into two halves by a brick walkway.  Neighbors and friends gave us a lot of cuttings and flower bulbs.  One friend was moving and had no place to put her cast iron lawn furniture.  When she visited, she said she had something for me and made me a gift of the furniture, which is almost 100 years old.  Inexpensive mini pansies and trailing pansies offer color and southern charm to this furniture.  We are enjoying what was once a horrible eyesore 1

impacted, hard and full of roots. This needed serious help. My friend Rob was the labor part of our team. I dreamed up the plans and helped with the planting. We now love to use our side entry. Our courtyard is a big hit with our friends and family
