Hi Friends! I'm sorry I missed you last week, I was on a little mini vacation on the Washington coast. We went clam digging in Moclips.  It was a really nice 3 day weekend. Felt good to get out of town for a little bit.  
I was debating if I wanted to wait to post about our kitchen project until everything was done, but I thought it might be fun to take you guys along for the ride! Our kitchen needs a face lift. I love our home, but we really lack natural light. My goal with this reno is to lighten it up in there and to give it a brighter, airier feel.  So, here is a before pic. 

Hi Again Friends! Hard to believe a week has gone by again! Here I am, going through my backlog of projects again. This one was 90% completed. I wanted to get this tutorial out there, so I decided I could post on it today. Besides, looking at it, I'm hopeful you don't know what the last 10% even is! Not to worry, I will get to that part!

This project started with a pretty gross old frame. These pics are after I cleaned it up. I got this at a barn sale and it was covered in dirt and grime.  I went with my old go to, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. You can use whatever paint you like. I like ASCP because it's a very forgiving and easy to use. Not much prep involved.  After I painted it, I used clear wax to have a nice satiny finish. 

Happy Easter Friends! I hope you are all having a great day with family and friends. Since it is a family day, I am just going to  do a super quick post about a little table I did today.
