Ashleigh's Cottage Sidetable ***A Cinderella Story

Hello friends....thanks for joining me again. I hope your week has been good so far and that you are looking forward to the weekend. 
So my post title promises a Cinderella story, so let's begin.
Remember a few posts back I told you that my niece Ashleigh had asked me to help her restyle her bedroom?
Well she has been texting me with ideas and
 we have been slowly coming up with a design.
Ash and her Mom (my sister Joanne) have picked out the paint color and will be painting her room next weekend.
I will be headed up to NY to work some Annie Sloan Chalk paint magic on her bedroom furniture.


This is Ashleigh's inspiration room.
Isn't it beautiful?
Looks like the restyle will include very pale green walls with a very pale yellow accent wall.
Lot's of painted furniture with some mis-matched cottage styled side tables.

I have had this little  stepchild of a cupboard for a few years. I believe years ago a mean stepsister painted it an ugly maroon-red.

My little cupboard lived her life of drudgery covered in red dullness.
Then another nasty stepsister took control of her and covered her in super glossy white latex...YUCK!
Her little eyes hurt from the intense brightness of it all.
She began to wonder if she would ever get to be a beautiful Princess.
Then one day her Fairy Godmother Annie came into her life and she soon realized nothing would ever be the same.
Paint cans were opened, brushes were produced and drop clothes spread on the kitchen table...yeah, the fairy Godmother paints on the kitchen table...got a problem with that?
;->
***A Princess was Born ***


Isn't chalk paint magic just a lovely thing?

Her Fairy Godmother even gifted her with sparkling jewels.

Interior painted in ASCP Arles 
Even her petticoat got the magic touch.

Now she will regally stand beside Ashleigh's bed and be proud to hold all her special treasures.

So pretty now...Bye-Bye ugly stepsisters!

Had to show of my little Meakin Ironstone vase I found at a yard sale for $2.00
Doesn't she look sweet on the table?

I hope Ash likes her new bedside table as much as I do.
