With our final Reimagined Monday draw of 2014, we knew we'd see some fantastic projects, but this month's winner is something we haven't had submitted before and we wanted to share it on our blog. It inspired us and we hope it inspires you to 'think outside the apple box", too!
This is where it all started:

Yes, those are two rusty side panels and other weathered bits of a 1929 cast iron stove. The antiquity alone made it worth saving but once we saw the front panel and doors, well, it was easy to understand why Lorene Stuckless and her husband decided to give this piece a full Chalk Paint™ makeover!
The first step was to sand off any loose rust and wipe away the dust.
Next... Chalk Paint™!
Lorene and her husband decided to keep it classic and applied two coats of Annie Sloan's paint in the colour Graphite.
Then came a coat of Annie Sloan clear Soft Wax all over, followed by a coat of dark Soft Wax on the exterior to deepen the colour and give it an aged patina.

To make those gorgeous details pop, Lorene added Pebeo French Gilding Wax. We stock all five colours and she decided on bright, blingy Empire Gold for maximum impact!

Lorene wrote, "We love the outcome. This was our first project with chalk paint and I must say, this won’t be our last. Love the product!!"
We love your gorgeous reimagined stove, Lorene!
