I'm in love with all shades of white. I've always loved the look...ever since I saw Dr. Zhivago and that ice covered house (above) in the movie. As a result, I use a lot of white and off-white paint (insider's tip: keep your money in Rustoleum's Heirloom White).
Remember that mirror I showed you all?
Well, I asked your opinion and most of you said to paint it the off white, so here she is in all her chalk paint "Olde White" glory. Love it!
While I had the chalk paint out, I decided to paint some more things…a small mirror.
And…then, this little jewelry box that definitely needed some TLC. After I painted it, I distressed it a bit and added this pretty vintage cameo to the top. Of course, the inside looked pretty bad, so I decoupaged some scrap paper to the insides with Mod Podge. Just what it needed!
I had another little box that cried out for some chalk paint, so after painting it, I added a little wood embellishment and used some ink to liven it up a bit…again, I decoupaged the inside lid and added velvet paper (you can get this at Joanne fabrics) to the inside bottom.
These will go into my shop and to a craft show that I just decided to participate in.
Oh, and by the way, I am participating in the 31 Days of Hope auction over at the DIY Club. Read about the auction here. More about what I'll be donating in another post...

Oh that first picture took my breath away!
nice job, you've been busy!! Love that little mirror!
Beautiful! Thank you for linking! ♥
Love that mirror :)
I'm going through a white period myself. I just think it makes things look so fresh and crisp.
I really like that beefy frame of the mirror. But with the details, it still looks delicate.
So beautiful. I Love the chalk paint, it works in so many ways!
