But he is a fan of modern furniture.<br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744685866780840550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-17238571396946150542016-09-24T00:16:35.872-03:002016-09-24T00:16:35.872-03:00Looks great, Carolyn!

I'm a big fan of white paint and have been known to walk around my apartment with a brush and bit of paint and, you know, kind of touch things up. :) You can't go wrong with white paint. Doesn't hurt that you have some great china collections either.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-49359302981025994072016-09-20T08:21:22.860-03:002016-09-20T08:21:22.860-03:00Dear Suzanne,

I did not strip the cupboard first ~ I just mixed some plaster of paris in hot water and added it to latex pearl finish white paint and put on 3 coats of paint. It seems to have adhered very well but only time will tell. You can check online for a recipe for making chalk paint.<br /> Good luck with your project!<br /><br /> CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365004847174534068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-24811911207536585622016-09-15T20:16:13.390-03:002016-09-15T20:16:13.390-03:00I love your white cabinet.

White is my happy, comfortable medium.

I love all white cupboards and dressers in general as they look so clean and beachy and cottagey... and the blues show off much much better with the white. I have 3 pieces of furniture I'd like to paint, but it seems like such an overwhelming task that I never start it. The chalk paint looks beautiful.. I think that's what I would use too. Your blue transferware collection is just beautiful.. I love those spice jars.Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-17192351190168712822016-09-14T13:23:49.210-03:002016-09-14T13:23:49.210-03:00Such a beautiful change!

I have some wooden pieces that I would like to paint but I'm not sure if I should have them stripped first. Thanks for any help.
