TGIF & Union Jack
Just a few quick pics of a coffee table/trunk I just finished with A.S. chalk paint-not the usual union jack colors but they work in my casa....enjoy the weekend! Off to Houston, Tx. next week to keep hubby company on a business trip....I'll be busy getting ready for that. For some insane reason I think the house needs to be perfect before I leave on any trip. Are any of you as insane as I am? LOL xoxo

Man I love this!
ReplyDeleteLove it Chris (love the colors you chose too)!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip ~ and yes...always need to clean my house before I leave on a trip!!
There is nothing better than to come home to a clean fresh smelling house when you've been away! I am the same way, sometimes I just don't have the time to make it happen!

ReplyDeleteHi Chris~
ReplyDeleteI'm just like you -- my house has to be PERFECT before I leave on a trip. Spotless. I drive myself a little crazy putting everything in its place and leave notes everywhere for my house sitter. Yes, it's neurotic, but at least when I leave I know everything is OK and I like that feeling. Hope you had a good trip with your husband and are enjoying this incredible Spring so far. xoxo Amy
Hello Chris,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by my blog. Your blog is fabulous! I love this stool you transformed, and all the rest of your fab photos.
Funny, I do recall seeing the article about your home/garden in a magazine. It's nice to meet a local gal, and I'll be following.
Take care,
Susan
This is a wonderful piece...great paint job! I just bought my first can of Annie (haha, can of Annie...) and can't wait to try her out!
ReplyDeleteI have questions when you get back...about Garden designer...my middle child is asking about a career like landscape architect ....
This is so beautiful - I'd love something like this in my French/British home! Thanks so much for your comment - you've probably heard that the siege is over and that we are safe again.
ReplyDeletehello! a friend of mine gave me some annie sload chalk paint in white, and I have no idea what to paint first with it...I want to paint my piano, entryway mirror, heck; my king size bed...
ReplyDeletethat looks great union jacked with light colors...really nice!
xo+blessings,
Anne Marie
oh that is so pretty in those colors! nice~and yes I like to have a neat home so when I come home it is refreshing! I tried to reply to the comment you left on my blog but did you realize your settings have it so when you leave a comment it is Tuttichic@noreplyblogger. So that means you don't get feedback from the host blog you comment on...you can change that. I happened to have the RC mag right next to me and flipped to your garden on pg 67 and it is soooo wonderful! that is my ideal garden! I love it all!! Where in Mass are you located? That is where I live too.
ReplyDeletegee amy~I'll look into the comment thing. thanks for mentioning it! we live in north attleboro 30 minutes from boston & 15 to providence. we also have a beach cottage in narragansett ri...where are you? :)
