I am so enthusiastic about the finish of our first chalk paint project.
Check out my sister's blog for her upcoming pictures.
bondaskitchen.blogspot.com.
She claims it took some effort to fully spark my interest.
I could have been slightly blase' about the extravagant claims
she was making regarding the virtues and versatility of chalk paint!
Wood, shower walls, driveways and concrete?
Do you blame me for being skeptical?
It appears she is an expert at asking advice. Two or three calls were made
to check and verify information as we worked with this new-to-us product. Later I learned that by not sparing herself in the quest for detailed instructions, she found a kindred spirit. An invitation has been extended regarding visits to Walla Walla over a daughter's college career in volleyball, and it all started with offers to hand deliver paint and an inquisitive attitude.
I feel both chastened and inspired by the possibilities of keeping a warm heart and open, creative, curious mind.
