a french farmhouse look?

here are a few things of the things i painted on Sunday.
they got a coat of white paint with a brush and then i rubbed
it off slightly with a rag.

the timber top on this table was such a lovely colour i didn't want to cover it up.
i almost left it as is, but decided to rub the smallest amount of paint over some of it.

i resisted sanding the edges back (which i do on most pieces)
and here's the result.
the rolling pin and tray took only a couple of minutes each to makeover.

this magazine holder now has a whitewashed look to it.

i was thinking it could also be used to hold children's books, or a child's
collection of art.

you can see what these pieces looked like in the post before this one.

Mike and i are off on a 'date' day today while the girls are at school!
coffee, lunch, shopping, uninterrupted conversation....
can't wait!
