Me & Mrs. Jones [Blog Love]

OK, there is no other way to say it...I wish I could paint like Me & Mrs. Jones! It is one of the first blogs I stumbled across....a long time ago. I have been in awe over her techniques from day one. What type of painted finishes? So glad you asked....Old World Charm...layer by layer. For example


This "after"

Started like this

Close up...the depth of color and layers are impressive!

To read all about this transformation, go here. About a year ago, I painted my china hutch. I am not happy with the finish, it just looks flat (photo to come later this month). When I saw this finish, although I could not do THIS...I did send Stephanie (Mrs. Jones) an email asking for advice. Well, she was so kind and gave me all sorts of tips to add a bit of depth to my piece. I am finally getting around to the make-over. I hope to share the pictures soon. Thank you, Stephanie for taking the time!
