Restore - Habitat For Humanity Mixer

We had a great time meeting and sharing our product with the Visalia Chamber of Commerce members at this evenings Habitat for Humanity Mixer. Their Restore warehouse recently moved to a larger location south of the 198 freeway on Lovers Lane. This is one of our favorite places to find furniture and hardware embellishings to restore with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. If you live in Visalia it's a must to visit their store for great deals or stop by their booth if you're at the Home Show this weekend, it's for a great cause! Here are a few sneak peeks of Restore.

We made chalkboards out of scrap cabinet doors - I need to make some for myself!
 

What a deal on doors! 

 

Hmm...I see a holiday card holder made out of this large shutter.


They have appliances and new product too!

A lovely desk...Provence or Emperors Silk?

The loves of my life! My hubby and his mama (and my biz partner)...not sure what I would do without them.

 

Raffle time...I actually won yummy snacks from World Market, I never win anything! =)

A Pop Of Color With Aubusson Blue

A good friend asked us to duplicate a picture of a beautiful dresser that caught her eye for her coffee table so we gave it a shot and of course ASCP did not disappoint! First, we mixed a few colors to create brown then used the dark wax to complete a dark finish. Last, we painted the top in Old White, the bottom in Aubusson Blue and the drawers in Chateau Grey. Great choice Mary!

We had such a great time at Tuesday's class and look forward to meeting many more of you...this is the paint you've been waiting for!

We will soon be offering Advanced Level Workshops featuring the other four of six chalk painting techniques. Stay tuned!

Chalkaholics Workshop!

There might be some new chalkaholics on the loose in our community after tonight's workshop! All six attendees learned three techniques and hopefully will share any projects they complete soon. We had a wonderful time meeting new people and were honored to share this amazing paint. Our new workshop schedule will be out this week, stay tuned!

  

Old White Bella For Ella!

This has been by far one of our favorite pieces to transform. We painted this outdated desk in Old White and the interior drawers in Louie Blue. We added crystal knobs and lovely wallpaper to line the drawers. It would be great if this one were for sale but it currently sits in Bella Ella's bedroom!

Wood Storage Chest

This chest was painted in a mix of Aubusson Blue and Antibes Green. The hardware's in Graphite and the interior in Paris Grey. The distressed style was left by loosley applying the paint then clear wax. It will be available at Paris Flea Market today. 

Floral Beauty In Paris Grey

We bought this material a few weeks back and later found the the perfect chair to use it on. First we painted it in Paris Grey, then distressed the floral area down to the wood, and finally applied the clear and dark waxes. It will find its way to Paris Flea Market tomorrow...isn't she a beauty?

  

Vintage Furniture Finds

These yummy finds didn't make it into our booth at Paris Flea Market because we found them after we had the other pieces painted and ready to go...but we are hoping they will be able to move-in soon. On the hunt for a great desk to accompany the chair and the perfect handles for the buffet...we already have chalk paint colors in mind. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Paris Flea Market Pictures

We are settling in comfortably at Paris Flea Market...our booth space is coming along. We still have business signs, some paint samples and the barn door to paint but the most important thing is there - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! Can you see the cabinet filled with those yummy cans? Come see us and stay tuned on our Facebook Page for an upcoming chalk paint giveaway!
