Fun with a sander!

Paint your piece with several layers of paint then go at it

with an orbital sander...oh what fun!

Time as gotten away....

Wow, has this summer just flown by!  I apologize for not posting in a while!  So many new items have arrived in the store...so stop by and take a look!  If you aren't following me on Facebook, please do as that is the place to see all the latest news and products!

If you haven't yet painted a piece of furniture, you must stop by and have a look at what you can do with CeCe Caldwell's Chalk and Clay Paint!  Wonderful products!!  Warning....can become addictive!!  Just ask those who have taken a class...they have been back to buy more paint!!

Headboard Bench

We've all heard the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure"...here is an example of that!

My husband (my picker) found this twin headboard which I knew would be perfect for a bench!

Had to get some woodworking assistance from a friend but thinking I will try the next one solo!

Fresh coat of Pittsburgh Gray and Satin Finish, both by CeCe Caldwell's Paints.

Bring in more color by using pillows...these cute little patchwork pillows do the trick!

All painted and ready to go!

Painted with Seattle Mist over Kailua Coral, wet distressed, sealed, 

followed by a coat of dark aging cream.

Just waiting on a color!!

A piece that I received this weekend...will look much different once it is painted!!  Will post an after picture!

Aging cream...

Aging Cream deepens the paint color...check out my sample boards to see the true colors

Garden Chair painted with CeCe's

This cute chair was rescued and upcycled with CeCe Caldwell's using Santa Fe Turquoise - the pot is painted Carolina Sun Yellow.  Great addition to any outdoor space!

CeCe Caldwell's paints are here...

Well at least they are unloaded and in my house! Will start getting them ready to sell at the Hillview Peddlers Mall.  I have so many things I want to paint ...

Anxiously Waiting...

I am getting so excited about the upcoming arrival of my CeCe Caldwell's paint!  My mind is just going non-stop over what I can paint...so excited to get classes started, too!
