Shabbed Fabbed Fun

Chalk, Clay, Textured Basecoats

Practice makes perfect. This is the beauty "to me" of these paints, they are not perfect. 
They can be played with, tinted, distressed, layered, and on and on, no end in sight.
So far I have used Caromal Colours and I love the distressed end result. I can go crazy
with this stuff. It has endless possibilities. I have pictures, will post them.
I have played with Annie Sloan, have not gotten my hands on CeCe Caldwell yet. I love the
New Orleans Purple. Gah. I don't think it would go within my kitchen though. It's a tad
vivid. All the affects I have seen online, of all the women who have painted with all three mentioned. The possibilities seem endless. This is a good thing. I am going to be refilling my Caromal Colours stock, and I want to purchase some CeCe Samples. I love all the colors, especially Spring Hill Green. It is so Fun to look at, bet it looks amazing in person.

Perfect vs Shabby, when it comes to having a unique piece of furniture, or even my kitchen cabinets, I choose Shabby, distressed. I know I have been pinched by the " Shabby"  crab.
Since I am fresh out of crabs, I going with my sea turtle. Nothing against crabs.
