I have been getting ready for an upcoming event at the antique mall,
where I have my dealer space.
My once semi-organized, marginally clean
garage is quickly filling up with antique furniture and
accessories.
(I'm not complaining, I promise!)
As most of you can probably guess from my posts,
I love painted furniture! I have tried quite a few

different paint brands out there.
Recently, I've tried out the paint that Faded Elegance now carries:
Maison Blanche La Craie.

Loving the wax!
It is hands down the best out there. A little goes
a long way.
The paint is unique in that it will take longer
to dry, allowing you to 'play' with it a bit once it is on your item you are painting.
This is helpful when dealing with antiques and pieces that need
a little more TLC.
Another difference with the paint is that it dries harder,
which is an obvious benefit. When you are taking
the time to paint a piece of furniture, you also want it to be
functional and able to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
After the paint dries completely, it is difficult to
'scratch', even before the wax has been applied.

Here's a before pic of a solid maple antique dresser I picked up.
Lovin' the new look...
Here's to another great tool out on the market to help us
breathe new life into old pieces that might
otherwise be forgotten.
