My French inspired Sitting room.

If you can believe it, I got this beautiful Wardrobe at GW for just $100!!! My husband and I like to go on 50% off Saturdays and this little beauty was just sitting there waiting for me to find it. It was marked at $200 but of course it was 50% off, so of course I had to take it home with me. I thought I might know where to put it in my home but this is a huge Armoire, inside it has 3 drawers and the doors have mirrors on them. It is super heavy!! In my bedroom is a sitting room that I have been waiting and wondering what to do to it. It fits perfectly on my back wall with a cute coffee table and a sofa bed facing it. Now my room is starting to come to life.  I have a lot of dark wood in  my bedroom and have been wanting to put a painted piece in the mix. It was scary but I bravely slapped on some chalk paint by Annie Sloan. The color is a beautiful shade of grey called Paris Grey. At first I wasn't sure because the paint kinda looked like primer..Yikes! Calm down, see my sign:) Keep calm and carry on. Ok, so I proceeded to sand and distress, more scary moments. I applied Annie Sloan clear wax followed it with dark wax and then again added clear wax on top. Wait until the wax dries, only about 5min or so. Buff with a clean lint free cloth and it looks... AMAZING!!! This looks so wonderful, I know the pictures can't do it justice but trust me it is really a beautiful finish. I am almost done but ran out of clear wax:

Here it is all done, oh except for the feet..lol almost forgot those!

I made this Keep Calm & Carry On sign from a canvas I bought @GW. I love the perfectness of it's inperfectness! Yep, these words are found in the Webster Dictionary")
