It makes ME happy to know it makes YOU happy!<br />We actually sell all of the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint line, including the dark wax at Restoration Emporium. You can get other brands of dark wax in other places (woodworking stores, online etc.) but Restoration Emporium is the most fun :) Hope to see you there!The Shabbiest Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764827926808718440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941242295007080956.post-82487575832833855412012-08-14T19:19:11.924-07:002012-08-14T19:19:11.924-07:00I think you did a fantastic job on the bench. I a...I think you did a fantastic job on the bench. I am the person who bought your china cabinet at the Emporium in the west bottoms a few months ago. I get so many compliments on it when people come into my house. It's the first large piece of furniture you see once you step in and it makes a statement. I was in love with it when I saw it on your blog intially. I was almost floored when I saw it at Emporium and just had to have it. I have been very pleased with my purchase. <br /><br />You mentioned that you used dark wax on the piece in the recent blog I was wondering where do you find dark wax? I have been looking locally without any success. Most folks have never heard of it at the chains like Home Depot and Lowes.Tracy Roachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941242295007080956.post-4150098785517304322012-08-12T19:08:01.433-07:002012-08-12T19:08:01.433-07:00Stephanie, this summer has been crazy!
