…Before & After: The Sully

I thought it would be fun to do a week of Before & Afters. When I was in marketing and we worked on presentations, the best slides were images of what was and what it turned into. In the design industry, sometimes it was a plot of land and some times it was a dated structure that needed new life. Chalk paint is the renewal of what a piece was and the imagining of it’s potential; using the piece once again and loving it in it’s new light. Besides all that, who doesn’t love a great make-over story?

I said goodbye to The Sully last week, but it went to a good home. The new parents being the cutest couple. By the end of the interaction, we were inviting them to dinner & asking them if they’d consider moving to Arlington! hahaha.

Here is the grungy, brown before.

  

Here she is in process…that’s one coat of French Linen.

And here is 2/3 coats before the waxing process. You can see that I wanted complete coverage.

Here it is completely finished and posed out in front of my garage aka my photo studio (where I take most of my photos. Thank you DH for letting me get the barn doors).

Hope that bourbon is nice & cozy in there, Forest!
