As much as I like looking at shabby chic in other homes, I really am much more traditional... fresh paint, no wrinkles kind of girl. So, the clear wax looks better to my eyes.<br /><br />JudithBotanic Bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785345862310221087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293397190628506592.post-57114632695387893602014-10-29T10:53:43.096-04:002014-10-29T10:53:43.096-04:00I know what you mean!
