Don't you love this Union Jack color combination Shades Of Blue Interiors painted with Chalk Paint®?  I know I sure do! Inspired by Miss Mustard Seed's ottoman, a combination of Country Grey, Old white and Provence.  Soft, subtle and magnificent!  You won't want to miss the other dresser painted with the same colors reversed. Perhaps another take on Quiet Riot?

Tattered Elegance really pulls the wool over our eyes.  Or should I say pulls the faux grain sack over our eyes? Those stripes are painted on, really. A lovely work of art, custom blended colors of French Linen and Pure White. Just a little Old White is added for some depth. The beautiful velvet gray damask on the back takes your breath away!  French elegance recreated at it's finest.

Doodles & Stitches brings new life to a wonderful pie safe with history.  In the family for many, many years...the outside get's a coat of Duck Egg and nicely distressed!  The inside is painted in Old White.  With most of the original hardware still intact, milk knobs and latches, we are in love!  Thank you Nicole, super job. 

Daisy Mae Belle shares with us how her oldest daughter is now coming around and catching the creative bug as well.  Not a fan of yard sales in the past, a creative teen is now looking forward to the warm season paving the way to pounding concrete, pavement and turf in search for yard sale treasures. Didn't she do a beautiful job with this old rickety ladder, turning it into a ladder bookcase?!  Melissa, we're thrilled you shared a new chapter in your life with us. All the best!

Features and Benefits of Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan

Many of you have may already know this, but for those just learning about Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan you need to know...

There are five very simple features and benefits of painting with this amazing paint product.

Once you've tried it, you will never want to use another paint ever again!

Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan

Features and Benefits:

1. The BEST paint on the market for furniture

2. No sanding, stripping, or priming needed

3. Quick dry time

4. Extremely low VOCs

5. Great value, save time and money

Chalk Paint® is so easy to use!  Once you do begin using this product you'll kick yourself for not trying it out sooner. It is the easiest way to change or update your furniture.  Whether you have an existing piece of furniture at home, inherited an antique or found a curb-side "I'm Free" item that you've been wanting to paint but have been hesitant...it's time!

No need for priming, sanding or stripping of your existing finish.  Save some time and money and start painting, you'll get the coverage needed.

The drying time of Chalk Paint® is quick.  It's not necessary to have your furniture sitting for a days while the different layers and applications dry.  The fast dry time allows for quick turn-around and you can be done the same day!

This amazing product is water based and eco friendly.  With extremely low VOCs there's virtually no odor. 

Chalk Paint® costs $36.95 per quart. Being able to paint with no extra charges or time on stripping agents, primer or sanding is priceless. The paint covers more and uses less than traditional paints. We have many customers that paint multiple pieces start to finish and back in place in one afternoon.  

The average cost of Chalk Paint® is $10 in product per piece of furniture.  What a great value! Chalk Paint® is extremely versatile and allows you the freedom to be creative and expressive.
