Post Chalk Paint Project!!

My project with chalk paint has been completed!! I am thrilled with the results! The dresser looks fantastic. I love the vintage look of it.

The Americana Decor brand of paint did a great job covering a lot of space with just a little bit of paint. It also dried very quickly, which was awesome because I didn't have to wait around for it to dry before doing a second coat. I ended up only painting two coats on the dresser, and the 8 oz. container of paint was the perfect amount! I am pleased with how well it turned out!

Now all I need to do is head over to Hobby Lobby and grab some new dresser knobs and handles to put on the drawers!

I cannot wait to go back to Home Depot to buy more paint, paint other pieces of furniture, as well as my wingback chairs!



In my other spare time, I ended up making my first beaded bracelet! I collected all the tools necessary to make the bracelet and turned to YouTube for a video tutorial. 





The extremely helpful tutorial I watched on YouTube can be found at this link:

The bracelet was surprisingly easy to make! Mine turned out a little big, but that can easily be fixed.
