Antiques, Home Decor and Garden Show in Monument

Looking for something to do this weekend?

Come out and join Shades of Amber at the Tri-Lakes Women's Club 37th Annual Pine Forest Antiques, Home Decor, and Garden Show and Sale!

The Pine Forest Antiques Show originated in the earliest days of the Tri-Lakes Women's Club.  The club began selling small handmade items and holding home tours to raise funds for community support.  These early efforts have grown into one of the club's major fundraisers.

Stop by to check out our booth featuring painted furniture, home decor accessories, and Chalk Paint® demos.  

Come support a great local cause and enjoy the weekend!

Annie Sloan, New Orleans, and Inspiration

It was such an incredible treat to spend the entire week last week in New Orleans with the one and only Annie Sloan!  She is the real deal, the creator of Chalk Paint®  Words cannot express how inspiring she is and what a truly genuine person she is.  I came home with pages and pages of notes full of new ideas, dreams, and ideas that I can't wait to get to work on and share with all of you!

Annie worked with us on creating style boards for our shops, giving a fascinating presentation on different design styles.  Here are just a few photos that made their way to my style board

Annie challenged us to really focus in on our design style and really define who we are and why.  With that said, we will be changing things up a bit around here, starting with our weekly link party.  My head is literally spinning with new ideas, now the challenge becomes getting them out my head and into the store and onto the computer screen!

WOW!  I am so excited to be in New Orleans with 300 of my fellow Chalk Paint® Stockists!!

We are all here with the wonderful Annie Sloan herself for our annual meeting, more training, lots of business info, and tons of FUN!

I can't wait to share everything, but while I am busy taking notes, let's start the link party, shall we?

Susan at Simply Stone Creek shared this lovely little empire chest that she gave a fresh spring facelift using Luckett's Green Milk Paint.  Fabulous job Susan!

Take a look at this mid-century modern piece that Danielle from Finding Silver Pennies recreated.  She used Paris Grey, a little Old White, and some beautiful photography from a friend and look at the result!  Simply stunning, Danielle, thanks for sharing!

Silver Pennies helps a little girl, Morgan, get a bedroom makeover. Morgan's mom fell madly in love with a photo in Quick and Easy Paint Transformations book by Annie Sloan.  The maple dresser was painted with Chalk Paint® in Paris Grey and trimmed out in Old White and Dark Wax. With pretty glass pulls added to the drawers, this dresser is gorgeous!  A little girl's dream bedroom complete.
