Using an image from the Graphics Fairy, I applied it with the "Mod Podge" method. (Print image on paper; apply face down using Mod Podge and let dry overnight; wet paper and begin rubbing paper off to reveal image on your piece) I finished off with a coat of Annie Sloan clear wax, distressed a bit and topped it with a bit of her dark wax.
If you let the wax dry for a day and then buff it, you get a nice, soft shine to the piece.
NOW . . . are you ready for a chance to win some of this great paint??
I am fortunate enough to live just a few blocks from an amazing Annie Sloan stockist (yep, no shipping charges!) Michelle at Di Lucca Designs has some amazing transformation photos on her web and Facebook page that you'll want to see. She is such a sweet, helpful and knowledgeable gal and for those of you who are local, she's just beginning workshops also!
Michelle is offering one fortunate winner: Your choice of TWO colors of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, a can of A.S. Clear Wax AND a copy of the book "Creating the French Look" . . . how great is that??!!

My favorite transformation is the Antibes Green desk makeover. I picked up an old wood desk on Craigslist and I'm dying to try my hand at giving it an Annie Sloan makeover. I wasn't too sure about the green but it really does look great on that desk. I'm still leaning toward Old Violet, though...I love that color.
