Crown me!

Here in New Orleans crowns are common decor,
and this one although already beautiful it got a new look.
You can use as a decorative piece on a table or mantle.
Also stunning as a crown canopy.

Just love the softer and charming look created with
 French Linen and Old White Chalk Paint®
decorative chalk paint by Annie Sloan and accented with gold gild wax.

Here are some crown looks that we just love.
