Delft Tile Tray

I found this mid-century cheese tray at a local thrift store for $1! Frankly, the tiles alone are worth more than that. It was originally medium brown wood, and those little right-hand circles were red magnets, but I covered the whole piece in some coats of Old White Chalk Paint. I might use it as a tray for craft projects, or I might hang it on a wall and secure some fancy knobs into those left-hand circles as hooks.

Either way, I'm in love with the painterly blue and white tiles!

Annie Sloan's Room Recipes

I highly recommend this book. 

It features inspiration for a variety of my favourite styles, all with a touch of history. Here's a peek at some of the lovely images inside.

Chalk Painted Geometric Chair for Sale

I've had the IKEA chair below since I was 5. It was my desk chair out of necessity, but I never liked its plainness.

Note the name scribbles under the seat.

 So I painted it. I used the X as inspiration to transform it with a geometric print.

 Old White and Provence Chalk Paint make up the light blue, plus I used Graphite, Antibes, and Old White for the rest of the pattern.

 The painted areas have also been waxed.

 It is for sale! Please email me at creativelygraceful@gmail.com if interested!
