I’ve been a little MIA lately.
I know. I’ve missed writing to y’all like crazy.
First, it was the trip. I sooo needed a break, and LOVED the time with my man.
We’ve been anxiously preparing for other things since we got back home, too. For one, I’m helping speak at two sessions for Haven. More on that soon.
We’re also getting our Chalk Paint (TM) online shop up and running, and there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes.
Tony’s been building the site/shop, and we’ve been taking photos of each item we’re selling.
We’re also weighing & measuring each item–lots of fun and not tedious at all.
You guys have been all asking when it’ll be up & I hope soon! You’ll definitely be the first to know.
Having the paint in the shop in Troy has been wonderful & it’s kept Anna Lauson (my new right hand) and I busy, busy. If you’re in town, definitely stop by and see us!
While we’ve been busy with all the Chalk Paint, we’ve also been working on projects here, painting furniture for the shop, and working on that bathroom redo I planned out a long time ago.
Oh, and I think I’m in the process of rearranging my whole living room.

So coming over your way to get my 1st batch of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint from you! I’m so excited!
What are Your 5 Fav Must have colors? ~Thxs! JulesBamaGirl
Awesome, Jules! Hmmm, there are so many that are my faves, but for just starting, I’d say: Old White, Duck Egg, French Linen, Provence, & Country Gray. That covers lots of bases…and if it were me, I’d prob throw in Pure, just because I love a clean white, too. Don’t leave out clear wax…so your pieces will be all protected. Let me know if you have any questions!!

Chalk Paint seems to be quite a hit and I have a round table that needs some loving so I just may give chalk paint a try! I am looking forward to the Haven Conference next week! I’ll see you there!
I have never tried using chalk paint. I love that you offer it in so many colors.

So looking forward to trying the Chalk Paint!
It’s great that you’ll be carrying the Chalk Paint. I ordered several colors months ago and am just now getting around to painting with it. I love the brush that was in my kit, and I also have a mediumish size Purdy brush. I wonder if you have advise on what brush/es you use. I don’t want to have tons of brush strokes, and I’m thinking I might need some smaller and possibly other sizes from what I received for getting into little nooks and crannies-any advice from you, oh expert one?? 🙂 Thank you!
just beautiful, thanks for sharing your technique. amazing the differences!
