Pure White and Happy Easter!

I'm on a white kick here lately.......
Take a look at some of my recent acquisitions.
BEFORES:
 I love the lines of this rocking chair........
the wood is curved and moulds right to your body!
I picked this up at this year's Curtain Call Consignment Event...
(For those of you not familiar, check them out on Facebook!)
 ...along with this wooden pine bunny lamp...
 I picked up these two narrow bookcases at a Goodwill.
 Whoever came up with this frigging heart cutout motif should be shot...........
 For all of these pieces, I used Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Pure White.
 I covered up the cutouts with this little plaster of paris owl I made on one...
 ...and on the other, 
I used an old top from a japanese basketweave cookie jar..
I expoxied them, 
then painted them the same color.  
I distress sanded and then waxed.
AFTERS:
 Here's how they ended up.........
 ...and here are the chair and bunny lamp painted in the same Pure White.
 And guess where it all ended up???
In my living room!!
So much for selling anything.
 My easter bunny arrived early this year.  
I changed out the lampshade on this to a West Elm lampshade also
purchased at the Curtain Call sale.
 And the little bookshelves flank my fireplace...
 I have so much crap stuff on them.......
...you can't even see where the heart cutouts were.
But I would know they were there!!!!!
Wilma has developed a particular fondness for my new lamp.
HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE!!

  1. Lovely as ever, certainly clever.
    She-she can remake
    re-do, re-use, re-purpose, re-cycle.
    Maybe She-she should be Ree-Ree?

    Happy Easter to one of my favorite
    Greenwood Ladies!!
