Expanded hours, Chalk Paint® and Italian Sodas

As apart of our grand re-opening and expansion, we also have newly expanded hours for all your Chalk Paint® needs and more!

We are now open 5 days a week

Tuesday - Friday 10:00-4:00

Saturday 10:00-3:00

We wanted to share a few photos from our ribbon cutting ceremony last weekend. 

 The weather was absolutely beautiful!

 We had a group gathered in our store Friday evening for the event.  Everyone mingled around and enjoyed delicious handmade Italian Sodas (sorry forgot to get a picture)!  Saturday, we had a steady stream of people come in throughout the day.  We also had many opportunities to win some fabulous prizes, which of course included giveaways of Chalk Paint.  Congratulations to all the winners!

 Just one of the many new beautiful vignettes we have in our store, stop by and visit us soon!

Have a beautiful weekend!

Chalk Paint® Link Party

It is the simple, understated elegance that gets me every time.  This is Sue's (Uniquely Chic) first big project using Chalk Paint.  Didn't she do a fantastic job, isn't it just gorgeous?  She mixed a beautiful blue grey by combining Paris Grey and Louis Blue and accenting with Old White.  Combined with the stained top, it is just divine!

Okay, Erin at How to Nest for Less really made me do a triple take with this one, WOW!  Talk about pushing the limits, we have heard a lot of people painting their appliances with Chalk Paint.   Erin glammed up her washer and dryer using Country Grey.  Talk about a show stopper!

Chalk Paint® Link Party

Hello all my beautiful friends!

When I saw this claw foot tub, I absolutely knew that I had to feature Jennifer from Town and Country Living.  Jennifer truly captures what Chalk Paint is all about!  Empowering people, especially women, to create beautiful things.  Refinishing her tub with Old White and Paris Grey puts the final touches on this fabulous French bathroom remodel.  

I had to peek back and see what this tub looked like before, here it is: 

 Just look at the impact the right paint choice can make for a room, love it!
