Hello World! Remember when I told you I was stuck concerning the direction of my home decor? Well, I am stuck no more. I discovered a paint color and have fallen in love with it. And, I’ve reintroduced gold back into the equation. You might remember an old beat up little boys chest I bought at Goodwill a while back and completely had to strip her because of the multitude of baseball stickers layered upon each other; and then sand her and give her a couple of coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Well, I liked her, but I didn’t love her. But, I do love her now. I think we shall call her Claudette.
The color is Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue in semi-gloss.
I know some will still love the previous look. She was quite striking.
The pulls got a couple of coats of Rustoleum Metallic spray paint. Don’t be surprised if you see a ton more metallic. I’ve been going a little crazy.
Guess what this is for. Curtains! I’m pulling down the blue and white toile and will put this up in it’s place. Don’t worry. I’m going to use the blue and white toile for pillows.
Sorry I didn’t show you a wide shot. I didn’t want to give away what’s on the wall.
Thanks for taking a look! Hope to see you tonight for the Sunday Showcase. Have a super groovy day and remember to be kind to one another! Fear Not!
Toodles,
Kathryn

Such a pretty blue, Kathryn! I love the color of the metallic paint you used on the handles. It really goes well with the blue. Can't wait to see what you've got going on in this area!
Love the paint color Kathryn, I'll have to look for it at Home Depot, it's so pretty!
Wow! you are such a teaser. Now I will have to stay tuned so I can see the other side. I love the dresser in the blue. Back in the day (in the seventies) I fell in love with federal blue. Almost the same as this new color. In fact I am still in love with that color.
The chest looks great, but it did before the blue also. I love that you are reusing the curtains at pillows.
I love that color blue!
I love these colors together!!!! I would also love to know how you got your parties lined up on your page that you share? I know off subject but it looks awsome!
I love this color so much! Great job! I"m going to pin this for sure!
My husband and I love blue… So pretty.
Love the new color Kathryn and I LOVE LOVE the fabric you chose for your curtains!! Can't wait to see them up!
Gorgeous new color Kathryn and it goes so well with the fabric. Sheer elegance! Blessings, Patti
I like this better, too…those gold knobs against the blue are just stunning!
Love the colors! Great idea to use the gold metallic spray paint for the hardware!
Hi Kathryn, I love this dresser better painted blue with gold pulls. That fabric is gorgeous for the curtains too! Your dresser caught my eye at the Twirl & Take A Bow Party.

This is gorgeous. Hope to see you at My Dream Canvas 🙂
Beautiful! That's a great color.
Wow!… Beautiful colour choice and beautiful handle choice!… They go together like PB and Jelly! xo!
The color is beautiful and that fabric is perfect for the curtains.
When you are finished, you can come on over to my house and help me decide what color to paint the little chest I bought.
Love the color!
Blessings,
Cindy
I've started throwing in more gold into my design too. It's funny how styles come and go . . . love the blue, and love the curtain fabric.
Oh yes this looks amazing! I love painted furniture!
I love this. Navy is my favorite color right now. Great job.
I love the new look! It's really pretty! Thanks for sharing on Twirl & Take a Bow last week! 🙂
