Hi Ellie,

I just happen to use and like the products. I do use quite a few other paints, quite often, as well. Plus, I do usually try to give alternatives, if it applies. Sometimes I forget that it’s a given in some situations. For example, on the mirrors, you could totally use any type of paint for this. If you want a flat look like I did, just use flat latex paint. OR you could even use regular old craft paint. Any paint can be subbed for most of the crafty things I make here on the blog. The only time AS would be specific is when I paint a furniture piece and do some extra special finishes, etc.
Hope that helps! :)

Thanks Marie! :)
Oh yay, can’t wait to see yours!!! xoxo

Hi Jan! Thank you, hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!
The wax finish would have probably been a nice choice for this too but I really wanted it to be “flat and worn” looking.
No shine at all as if it were real weathered wood. That’s the main reason. :)
And yep, it is an easier application too.
Hope that helps! xo

Aw yes, I agree!! Yep, mine has said that for years!! I even wrote that in one of my very first posts here on the blog so I guess it’s true. lol
Thank you for the kind words also!!
Hope you have a wonderful day over in Australia! (a place I’d love to visit someday! :) )
