 I am guest posting over at the enormously hilarious blog by the fab "Vivienne" at the

If you missed my post on all the dirty secrets of getting a good clean paint job done on your furniture "Redoux", then you will want to check out my post over at Viv's place.  While you are there, be sure to check out some of her tutorials, she is a master spray painter, and absolutely hilarious to boot! 
If you want a daily chuckle, then definitely sign up to follow this girl.  
Plus, don't hate her, she is GORGEOUS and has FANTASTIC hair.

O.K., sur avec le spectacle!  The winners are........
premièrement

Amy from Maison Decor

Amy is "Le Bomb" of all things French Style, just look at this gorgeous Coffee Table



You must see what she did with this to transform it:

She began with a Coffee Table that had good bones, but what a vision she had!


She painted the entire piece, then MADE her own stencil and use "Old White" chalk paint


She used Gold Leaf on the edges and a clear Wax to seal it. 


Wow, this could be one of my favorite "Redouxs" ever.  I am so inspired to try this one out too. 

TRES BON AMY!

Here are some other amazing pieces:

Lesley from Saving Grace

Gave us this lovely hutch,



It was pretty homely to start with and she did an amazing job of transforming it to something beautiful.


And last.....I try to spread the love around, but this girl just does the cutest things, and she is a new kid on the block in bloggyland, but clearly she knows her way around the paint store:

Mindy from Pretty in Paint



I have never done a furniture piece in Green before, and I am so inspired by this very cheery piece.

Green must be a popular color right now, all things Spring because Barb at Knack Studios selected 
Peacock Green as her color this week....
What? 
 You don't know about Barb? 
You must add her to the list of blogs you follow,
she is the end all, know all of the
paint and furniture world. 
And oh so cool to boot!
