~~Getting in the Christmas Groove~~



I've been working like a fiend getting things ready for the holidays, namely Christmas,
at All That Jazz. This is the time of year when I make the most stuff, rather than painting furniture since the weather turns wet and cold and I don't have an indoor place to paint.

I have been making ornament after ornament, handmade paper cones, signs, bleaching little trees,  flocking bigger trees, washing up merchandise, pricing and boxing things up. I think I'm 2/3 of the way through everything on my list. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think I may actually have things finished  well in advance of when I plan to take it in. Usually I'm working up until the same day or the day before. I think the problem may be how to squeeze it all into my space!

By the way~Anyone else that has a space (or not) irritated that we need to work on things before Halloween to have things in the shop before Thanksgiving? I've been listening to Christmas music already to get in the mood!

A Makeover


I scored this beauty at a garage sale this summer. Come to find out, a couple vendors at my shop had their eye on it as well! Hee hee!



After! Painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. The body is Country Gray and, top and accents painted in Old White.



I added a pretty french printable on the doors and some new clear knobs.



The entire piece was sealed with Annie Sloan's wax of course.







This is just about my favorite piece I've done! I will post soon on the table and chairs I painted to match.
