CeCe Caldwell's Paint Giveaway


  • ****This Giveaway is now closed! It closed at midnight on Dec 24! Winner will be announced Dec 29!:)***


    Hey y'all! Hope your weekend is going well! Can you believe we are only one week out till the big day!? I sure can not. I have been super busy trying to get everything ready. The Nana & The Papa will be here at the end of the week so I have been working non stop on the guest bath. I will share our progress this evening! Until then I have something exciting to share with ya!

    Remember back in November when my family and I  were in Georgia for Thanksgiving and I happened upon a new chalk paint!? I was super excited to share it with y'all and was hoping to get to play with my Destin Gulf but sadly things have been so crazy I have not had a chance. I have though since found a few pics of items painted with CeCe Caldwell paints and they are truly drool worthy! All pics are from CeCe's website.





  • CeCe Caldwell paint has been hard to find but recently I heard it was rolling out to a few select distributors across the nation. Luckliy one of those distributors is right here in my area! This prompted me to contact
      Nena who owns NCF Studio of Decorative Art  to see if she would like to team up with me on a giveaway so that y'all could get your hands on some too! I was surprised when she said yes!!

    So who would like to win 3 quarts of CeCe Caldwell paint plus two cans of wax!? I know I sure would but I can't play so whomever wins will have to share with me!;) Just joking.
    If you are the winner you will get to pick any three colors of your choice!



    And just in case you are wondering CeCe Caldwell's Paints are earth friendly, all natural chalk and clay based paints designed for use on furniture and home decor items. Her wax is water based and not petroleum based. 

    The Giveaway will be from Dec 18-Dec 24 and the winner will be announced on Dec 29

    P.s At the time of the start of this giveaway I was not receiving any reimbursement for my hosting it. I contacted NCF Studio of Decorative Art and not the other way around. My goal was just to bring to my readers a really cool product since I know we love to paint! Since the giveaway has gained momentum as a thank you NCF Studio of Decorative Art will be graciously giving me some of my own CeCe Caldwell's Paints. This will NOT alter my opinion of the product once I get to actually find time to play with the paint! I only give out my HONEST opinion of products that I use so no worries!! If I do not like it trust me you will know!;)

Almost Done!

Over the weekend The Hubster and I worked around the clock trying to get the guest bath ready for The Nana & The Papa this weekend.
The tile is down and you can not even tell there ever was tile missing! I will say we had our doubts about the tile cutter but it worked wonders! Negative was that it sounded like nails being scrapped across a chalk board. 
The new vanity is of course painted.
The new faucet has been picked and installed. Let me tell ya faucets are pretty pricey! This one was a middle of the road choice and it was still half of what we paid for for the new vanity.
The medicine cabinet has been updated.

I hunted high and low for a new mirror and well the ones I wanted were not in our small budget so I pulled out a mirror I had in my pertty closet that I purchased off the local yard sale site. I started working on it last year sometime and forgot about it. Now it is painted as well!
New shower curtain is up.

Thrifty treasures hung.
Antique shutters stained. Not an easy task.

I am not quite ready to show ya how it all turned out but soon, very soon!;) All I am gonna say is that I am ready to move into the guest room!Ha!

Hope your week is going well!

I am linking up to the following link parties:
Wow Us Wednesdays
Nifty Thrifty Tuesday
