Olive dresser

Oh this turned out so FAB!  The top of this dresser was in great shape so I decided to wax it and leave it.  I picked this terrific olive paint color.  Then I distressed and clear waxed.  The wood knobs are from our fav craft shop and are a great match for the top.  I definitely want to use this color in my house.  It is so gorgeous and rich looking!

Stars in My Eyes!

I don't think that either of us 'hunting honeys' will be posting on a daily basis, but we are very excited to share our great finds and the process of readying what we bag (hunting reference) for the shop.  We aren't very good about before photos so I don't have any to post today but the afters are worth a peek!  Tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers, enemies, relatives (guess those could be covered by one of the previous), and people you just run into on the street about our blog.  We need followers!  Please help!!!
Can you stand how cute these little chairs are?  The Hunt began at a local antiques store.  I stalked the chairs slowly, checking them out from all angles.  I was afraid I would be spooked off by the pricing but was lured by a 30% off booth sign!  I raised my weapon (wallet) and took 'em down (to my SUV).  These little chairs started their transition very chippy, many coat of several colors of paint.  They were painted ASCP Louis Blue with Emperor's Silk stars.  I distressed them pretty heavily and then used light wax and a little dark wax here and there.  They are sturdy but look nice and worn.  I love them!!
