One more use for Chalk Paint



Have you ever looked at something that really bugged you....
like this stone that had more gold in it than the others?

I have lived with that one bugger of a tile for 14 years.  
The builder wouldn't replace it for a million reasons and I had bigger fish to fry during our move.  
So I let it slide.

It's always hidden by the toaster oven or a cutting board, etc.

So while I was using my favorite ASCP Old White and Country Gray,
I had one of those lightbulb moments.
A big, fat DUH moment.

A quick swish of my brush and a paper towel blot was all it took to
remove that ugly rotten stinking eyesore from my kitchen.

Yes, I do believe in magic.
It comes in a can!


I'm taking a little time away.
I need some fresh perspective and to lay my eyes on a new landscape for a bit.

Thank you for being here for me...I love you all dearly.

See you soon.

  4. Your tile turned out great! I'm the kind of person who's eye would be drawn to that gold one every-single-time... Take care and give 'the baby' a hug for me:@)

  7. We are all standing here, holding hands, surrounding you with our good juju. Metaphorically.

  8. Take care and remember that getting from Point A to Point B only requires putting one foot in front of the other...one day, one hour or one minute at a time.

  9. Hi Tina:
    A simple, genius solution to a tiny aggravation. Doesn't it always seem those minor things really bug us like pebbles in your shoe? All those years, when all it needed was a little chalk paint. Brilliant! I'm off to explore your blog a bit. I regret that I haven't visited in a while. I want to see what I've missed!
    Love and hugs,
    Donna (and Tag)

  13. That little bit of paint made all the difference! I wouldn't have been able to look at it for that long. I would have ripped it out long ago...LOL. I hope you time away is refreshing for you! Have a wonderful day!
