What a week! Â On top of preparing for Halloween and creating a koala costume for my eleven year old daughter, I have been preparing for the big Holiday Open House in Lucketts this weekend.
On A Whim looks amazing! Â What creativity – I am always so impressed.
I brought out a very shabby chic dresser in white which I heavily distressed. Â I love the look. Â This was one coat of chalk paint followed by another coat of watered down chalk paint. Â I then took the sandpaper and went to town. Â Afterwards, I didn’t wax it. Â It was already super smooth and a wipe down with a damp cloth was all it needed.
Another sweet find I took out yesterday was this little guy in blue. Â The top drawer had a stenciled picture on it and after it was painted and sanded back, it reappeared. Â This is always fun to do with chalk paint. Â I love to actually stencil and then paint on top and sand back. Â The stencil then looks old and antiqued.
Can you believe this drum table? Â Love the shape, love the ridges, love the thickness and heaviness of it. Â The door swings open and inside is great storage. Â This one is in white with a little grey.
I can’t believe that we are already decorating for the holiday season! Â I am still recovering from the pumpkin carving and trick or treating. Â No time to rest ð
Heading back to Lucketts tomorrow with some new finds. Â I hope you can make the trip sometime – you can see it is totally worth the effort!

It all looks lovely Suzanne. Love the drum table. I hope someday to get there to Lucketts and visit all you talented ladies.
