Pallet Wall complete!

In the winter

I had this FUN project started

I had a vision of how it would look

and thus

we began..

and then..

got stuck.

it stayed like this

for months..

waiting for completion...

Machine Man has been collecting pallets for a while

and the time finally came that C.S. and I could work on it!

problem with my plan is.. the kids LOVE the look

just as it is

i mean EXACTLY..

but my plan was to paint is 

hard core WHITE

a drama unfolded..

between what WE the parents had a vision of

and what our Blessings thought would look best 

and I thought back to the vision that captured me on my drive

and decided to try to compromise..

Machine Man and I agreed that while we MIGHT hate it,

we would indeed be able to paint OVER it if that ended up being the case

I presented the idea to the skeptical Blessings..

and they agreed we should try it 

Pure White Annie Sloan Chalk paint 

on pallet wall..

Whatcha think?

shabby next to perfection..

what a contrast

subway tiles next to a barn wood look..

I will wait till I dry and clear wax it... 

not bad.

the Blessings LOVE

and I am ok with it all..

IF I change my mind..

then you know what will happen..

but for now..

it really isn't bad

and it certainly adds TEXTURE

which as an artist..

was what I was hoping to achieve...

thoughts?
