If you like to hand paint furniture, the place to go to is
Robyn story designs. They are having a fabulous giveaway of every color of Annie Sloan Chalk paint! Annie Sloan Chalk paint is great for painting furniture because you don't have such an arduous process of sanding and priming. I am all for anything that helps to speed up the process of painting projects.
