Welcome!
Today's share is a project I recently finished for the Art Barn, using DecoArt Chalky Finish Paints.
This is a curb find shelf unit that needed a bit of dusting,some paint and a nice corner as well as special art pieces for the shelves.
My colors of choice are DecoArt Chalky Finish in order on the shelves:
and
~on the outside of the cabinet & finial on top
DecoArt Chalky Finish paints glide on so smooth and they have such a rich color,which I was not able to capture so well.
Even though I am a glossy kind of gal,I do love the matte finish of these paints,they have a clean and modern look when dry.
The reason for my choosing this palette is because the colors are similar to the colors of my flea market paintings next to the shelf
The artwork is by:
top shelf~Karenliz Henderson
second shelf~Maggie Nemetz
bottom shelf~Maxfield Parrish
I decided that my wooden box could do with some updating in color,so this also sports DecoArt Chalky Finish in

Thank you for visiting today!
Have I inspired you to give new life to a garage sale or curb treasure?
I bet,DecoArt's Chalky Finishes might be just what you are looking for for that project!
Have a super creative day!

What a great rescue and transformation of that shelf.
You certainly did compliment your paintings and have such a wonderful display piece now.
Those colors are yummy and such fun names too.
Imagine being the person that gets to dream up "new" names for colors.
Thank you for sharing dear Jackie...you are a star oxo
Of course the Sunday can spend to make art. The ready work can get little sundaybonus like now. The end result is very beautiful.
That is a very cool shelf!!
Beautiful transformation Jackie. A great shelf that you have made even better! I hope you are having a wonderful summer, sending hugs :)

Gorgeous Jackie!

Wow, such a revamp. It is just perfect, Jackie, and you chose lovely matching colours. Perfect for your corner and the art you put inside :-)
Jackieeeeee dahling! This made my Monday so bright! Those pics of your travels are amazing. The pics of the rain....so Zen. I can NOT wait to smell those beautiful flowers of yours and see the art barn. Sheesh, you guys never stop! I will soon be at my "home away from home" to spend some much needed time with you guys. That Chumski is the best, so sweet. Those pics of him made me smile. Thanks for sharing the pics and all that you are! xoxox
Hello, Jackie, thank you for your sweet comment on my latest post. About the traditional Sardinian costume, everyone is slightly different, because these are hand-made, and sometime original ones. So the front laced panel, the sleeves, the shades of the corset can be different. Today these are used for religious (and not) parades or for some celebrations.
But almost every town in Sardinia have a traditional costume, so they can vary a lot, usually are more plain. For several reason I've never worn one, it is something that belongs to a family, mine is pretty modern, and not interested in this stuff. Some parents prepare small copies for even toddlers, and put them (the dressed-up children) in the stroller :-)
Doesn't this look fab? You did a great job; you're such an inspiration with all your transformations! Beauty. xo
At first I can only say - you had an imaginative trip. Maybe Chum was not so pleased.
The rain is welcome when the earth needs water and its´s very therapeutic to look raindrops.
Your text and photos are splendid. I enjoyed.
The horses of Wyoming? Are they wild horses?
And coolest photo? I do not know, maybe rockets on the railway?
Montains rocks and Idahos colorful landscape stuck especially in my mind.
At last the photo you asked what there can bee.Of course that is a lift pillar of some old skilslope. Heh, heh.
All of your landscapes you have seen and taked photos are so different as mine here in Finland. Thanks for sharing all of this. Hugs to you
