white chalk paint obsessions

alright, i have a confession, i am a bit obsessed with chalk paint right now.  it is awesome.  you can paint any surface and do not have to sand, prime or do any prep really, aside from cleaning whatever you are painting.  hello. thazz my style right there.  it is so easy to use.  it is a bit more expensive than other paint mediums, but i find it goes a long way and evens out, price wise, because you do not have to buy a primer.  also, you are spending less time, in general, on your project.  yes, your time, even craft time, is worth bucks ladies and gents!  there's my justification for the extra cash money you are shelling out. 

i went thrifting for a couple projects one day and found this big framed painting.  it reminded me of one my grandparents had on their wall above a similarly upholstered fuzzy couch they would force me to take naps on.  "i'm too big for naps grama!!", i would protest right before i would snooze my way through fuzzy couch surfing dreams.  i think i nabbed this baby for $15 dollars.  

took it home, gave it a good wipe down and went to town with my coveted chalk paint.  it was so fun painting over this landscape with white.  therapeutic even.  i had a whole plan going into it.  i was going to do this really cool colourful geometric painting on it.  however, once i was through and hung it on the wall, as is, i was completely in love with how it looked up there.  still looking for a big framed canvas to do that on, but this one will stay white.  

here's some photos i took of the process.  sorry about the quality, i was just snapping shots as i went along. happy painting!!!
