I was exactly the same, I remember layering on the chemical and waiting for the varnish to bubble, then I wiped the chemical off and then had to start sanding.... all of that before my brush even touched a paint pot. Now I am going to try Annie's paint.... I know, I am one of that last to try this, but I am intrigued to see how it works.<br />You were a trend setter and ahead of the game when you were using Annie's paint two years ago.<br />I find it fascinating that the paint can be used on material aswell... this is one all round paint.<br />Your chairs are lovely, and are certainly blog worthy.<br />Laurie, I have enjoyed my visit and I have become a new follower, I found your blog at No Minimalist Here. I would like to invite you to visit me at Ivy, Phyllis and Me! when you have a moment to spare as it would be lovely to see your there.<br />Best Wishes to you,<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-33722183623011832062013-08-07T20:51:45.878-05:002013-08-07T20:51:45.878-05:00Your painting projects all turned out beautifully!...Your painting projects all turned out beautifully!
