  • After the paint had dried we added outdoor pillows for added comfort.  We chose deep seated cushions for the bottom. 1
  • In the beginning we took an old headboard and began framing and building the base of the swing. 2
  • Once the swing was put together, we added chains and hung it from the porch awning.  I painted it two coats of Annie Sloan's Duck Egg.

  • The beauty of chalk paint is no priming or sanding. It goes on top of a previous finish like 1960's antiquing.
  • I am not being compensated by these products. These are the supplies I chose. Maison Blanche, Wrought Iron chalk paint. CeCe Caldwell's clear wax and Annie Sloan's brushes.
  • I cleaned each chair with Krud Kutter. I was surprised at how much of the antiquing glaze came in this step.

Tin Can Sewing Caddy

I made a sewing caddy which includes a pin cushion that's pretty enough to be set on a shelf, yet comes in handy while I'm measuring and cutting out patterns. Made with used tin cans it's a quick, easy project.
