Henrietta Helps Fight For A Cure

What a rewarding project this was! We've been wanting to use Henrietta and the perfect piece for a great cause emerged. We transformed a Rescued Treasures desk and a ReStore cabinet door into the perfect girls set. Sweet knobs and a pretty floral branch added the final embellishment to complete the look we wanted. This set will be auctioned off today at the Fight 4 A Cure Breat Cancer Fundraiser.

Christmas in October Boutique

We are so appreciative to have been a part of JoAnn Maloney's  boutique. Thanks for including us JoAnn! The last two nights were fun-filled and rewarding to see a creative spark light up within our lovely guests. Our hope is that we were able to inspire others to recreate pieces that will give them pride and joy. Looking forward to next weekends workshop on Sunday from 1-3pm. Hope you enjoy some pics of our time had...

      

Three Speckled Hens Antique Show

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Stockist, Vicki Shoemaker, of 3 Oaks Studio in Clovis was a part of the Three Speckled Hens Antique Show in Paso Robles this weekend so I decided to check it out for myself. I was on the hunt for grain sacks to cover chairs or make pillows and was beside myself when the first booth we saw had mounds of them from Europe! I can hardly wait until the next one April 14th-15th. The Annie Sloan booth was well represented with impressive pieces and lovely people!

Workshop Fun!

What a wonderful afternoon spent with lovely ladies! It was great to meet more chalk paint newbies and we were quite impressed with their completed boards. Looking forward to sharing our amazing product at an annual Holiday Boutique this Thurs. and Fri. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Lime washed in Henrietta with a rustic technique.

Chateau Grey Desk and Old White Queen Anne Chair

When we saw this simple desk we had the perfect color in mind for it...Chateau Grey! We painted the drawers in Old White and added a vintage print liner. Then we lime washed the wood top and used the dark wax on it. The Queen Anne chair was a rare find that we were tempted to keep for ourselves but instead we painted it in Old White and gave it a distressed look. They are available seperate or together at Paris Flea Market.

Beautifully Modern Emile Vanity

This little beauty needed a fresh look so we decided to paint it in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint's Emile. We found some matching fabric to recover a chair painted in Paris Grey from our inventory. We are pleased with the color, it's such a beautiful shade of purple. This set will be for sale at Paris Flea Market tomorrow. 


Forgot to take a before pic but here's one we found online:

Barn Door Rustic Redo

Our current space at Paris Flea Market had a black barn door as the backdrop so we decided to put Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint and Waxes to the test by creating a distressed barn door style...after starting in the afternoon and working into the evening we finished! We love it and wish we were staying but we have been selling our inventory so quickly we decided to move into a bigger space next week. Now we will have room for more furniture and workshops. We will be outside in front of Paris Flea Market in the morning painting more furniture to fill our sparse space so if you're in the area we'd love for you to stop by and visit!
