Annie Sloan Chalk Paint "befores"

      My little treasures "before"...

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

This long french farm table has a checkerboard pattern created byusing three colors, Graphite, Paris Grey and Country Grey all painted on a base of Paris Grey.  These colors are from the exclusive Annie Sloan Chalk Paints.  Need to finish the edge and then wax!  Then off to the shop to be displayed!

More with Annie Sloan Paints!!

This curvy table has been given some well needed attention by using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  Duck Egg Blue with Old Violet and Country Grey were used.  For that finishing touch, always wax.  Annie Sloan has the best paste wax!!

Annie Sloan Paints again!

This cute country pine desk was saved from sadness by coating it with Annie Sloan's Paint in Provence.  Followed by some of her great wax!

Opening Day of Nid de Reves!!!!!

May 2, 2011
At long last, my Nid de Reves, inaugural was on Monday night.  It was a huge success!! A fun filled and rewarding evening showing off my hard work..beautifully painted antique furniture.  I decided that I would  also sell antique objects like lamps, pottery, old window frames,etc. 

Made my first sell from my shop and the customer was pleased with her new purchase!  Still in the red, so let's stay optimistic: ))

Haven't worked out the store hours but I'm thinking afternoons only and rendez-vous..we'll play it by ear..anyhoo, I'm living right next door!!

Sitting in my shop blogging and smiling from ear to ear!!
