Faye @ MacGIRLver submitted her sewing cabinet.

Spray paint, stencil

She took an ugly sewing cabinet and spray painted it white, first with Krylon dual, and then with Rustoleum Blossom White. She antiqued it with ebony stain. For the top she primed it twice and then painted it with Dutch Boy Cabinet and trim paint, stenciled the letters, sanded, and again antiqued with ebony stain.  Love the top.

She used homemade chalk paint for the white portions of this dresser by mixing Behr paint with plaster of paris.  She then applied Annie Sloan dark wax to the stripped top and the glaze was used by combining black paint with Behr Premium Plus Faux Glaze.  I love the detail the glaze brings out.

She painted her dingy bookshelf with Annie Sloans Old White. She distressed it, glazed it with dark walnut stain and coated it in AS clear wax. She used raised wallpaper from Lowes and painted it with Valspar Rapids to add a pop of color. She attached the wallpaper with a spray adhesive and coated it with poly to make it more durable.  Love the white/blue combo.
