Hello Lovelies. How has your weekend been?
I was at Ross the other day and found
this cute little "Bajot Stand" for a bargain price.
I wasn't crazy about the color, but figured I could
give it a Do-Over with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
I used GRAPHITE by Annie Sloan
and some clear wax to finish
How do you like it?
I found a great spot for it in our foyer
Ohhhh and before I go I want to share another "Annie Sloan Chalk Paint" Project I did recently
in the Lobby at my Work Place. We recently painted this bold red accent wall in the lobby
and the golden elegant mirror just didn't look good anymore. So I painted the frame with
"Annie Sloan Graphite" as well and rubbed some silver finishing paint on it to bring
out the carvings. Much better, don't you think???
Have you tried Annie Sloan yet? I love it! I hope you enjoyed
this post, please come back soon for another visit!!

Awesome! I love that vignette and you just made it even better!
ReplyDeleteGreat transformations, the mirror I love the most, I like how you brought out the details.
ReplyDeleteI love how you painted that stand. That was a great find! I haven't used that color from ASCP yet. It really updated that mirror frame in your lobby too. Did you do that there? That mirror would've been huge to take in your car.
ReplyDeleteSmall miracles but so effective, great color choice for bijot stand as well as mirror. They both look so much better with graphite color. After seeing what effect it made on those two pieces I have to try it. Have couple pieces in mind in my own home. I'll have to go scout at Ross, see what little jewels I can find. Rarely go in there as usually spend all my time in that shopping strip in Michaels but looks like I need to give Ross another try.
ReplyDeleteHow you snazzied up that mirror gave it such effect, brought out details on mirror, gold ugh, graphite/silver yeah.
Hope you have bright sunshiny Monday and rest of week.

The vignette is really pretty!! I have not tried Annie Sloan yet, but I have to get started real soon.
ReplyDeleteYour work is lovely. I need to learn how to do this one day.
ReplyDeleteWhat creative changes! Your decor in your foyer is truly wonderful, I'm crazy about the smart look!
ReplyDeleteI must be the dumb one because no one asked, what is a Bajot stand? Is it for porcelain pieces? Love the color and the styling. The mirror now has elegance and grace.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've visited your delightful blog and I love it! I am also a fan of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Not only are you creative, but I see by your picture that you are also beautiful. Wonderful combination!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always, friend! Love your entry way and decor! And yes, that mirror looks waaay better! Way to go! Hope you're having a lovely week, Christine!

I googled "bajot stand" cause I had never heard that term and holy cannoli, you got a HUGE DEAL! They are on sale for hundreds of dollars! I am going to try to get to my Ross to see if they have one. I love the vignette you created.
ReplyDeleteThe mirror looks so much nicer! What a striking entryway. :)

Hi Christine, just found you. Not sure where i started but just kept clicking over and "voila ", so very happy i did that. I love your entryway, it has given me some great ideas for my own. I sure hope you get your wrought iron staircase, your inspiration picture is beautiful. Maybe just paint black until you can afford to replace it. I also have a thing for large lanterns, i have 3 now but i am always on the hunt for more. Love your blog, I'll be back. Have a wonderful week. Sincerely, Diena
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I saw your post on Friday Favorites and just love all the updates!
ReplyDeleteI love Annie Sloan! I bought a small jar and ended up using it for crafts instead of furniture -- yikes! I love your updates, and the Graphite is such a nice color! Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color! Your home is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love that little stand Christine. Perfect new color! I love Annie Sloan paint as well. Goes on so nicely. The mirror redo is wonderful as well. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
