I mixed up my own color of dark turquoise in a DIY chalk paint concoction. I have to admit, this saves me a ton of time because I don't have to sand and usually only need 2 coats. I love chalk paint if I'm going for a distressed finish!! Plus, the recipe I use here makes SO much, that I really could cut the recipe in half and have plenty left over.
This sweet cabinet has a plank top that I sanded down to the wood and used Minwax water based stain in Walnut. I then waxed the top to seal it.
Here's an exhibit of my recent craft fail..the JOY sign. My 7 year old can do better bubble letters than I can and my mistletoe looks like a green reindeer with red testicles. Sorry if that's TMI....but if you look closely, it's true. ;)
But the cabinet turned out cute! This will also be at the Carver Junk Company this weekend!

Kinda lovin' that blue color! I like the contrast with the natural wood top as well...gonna check out your paint recipe now.
love that blue~ it;s like a moody turquoise! and of course the dark top and those legs.... beauty-full!
What a pretty cabinet! I'm cracking up at your description of the mistletoe on your joy sign. I was arranging some ornaments on my mantel and grouping them in threes and had the same thought. I added a fourth one to the cluster just to get rid of that thought, but now I'm looking at them as I type this and laughing again. :) Thanks for stopping my blog earlier and your kind comment.
