I haven't painted in forever it seems so I decided I better do a few days before the cold weather sets in ~
It is fun to find treasures at flea markets and then bring them home to recreate into something sweet for your cottage home ~ This is a really popular vendor, obviously :)
My favorite colors are any shade of white and pinks so today I mostly painted white with some pink~
The first step of the process is priming the entire piece ~ I use Kilz just because I like it the best ~
The next step is to let that dry and then apply the color and then I like to distress my pieces ~ The final step is a matte sealer coat ~
I am working on listing the items you see being painted ~ most are in our Vintage category but some are in the Romantic Home category ~

Lori, I dearly LOVE all your stuff! I too love to paint and fix up my finds. I checked out your shop and I especially adore your tarnished silver pieces.
Very nice! White paint can work miracles!~Patti
Hi Lori...I know that CAnton dealer well....sells everything in his bins for a dollar....it is so much fun to dig through his junk...see you at art group....hope you bring your stool! xojana
Lori, Thanks for sharing these are so beautiful and it is fun to see the process you go through.
Pretty whites all laying there. I need to paing several items at once instead of painting one thing at a time. Definitely makes more sense!! I will get hubby and his spray gun working on that right away. I am sure he will be thrilled! lol
Blessings~
Oh what petty things you are making!! I love to paint too!
