Guess what the new hot color is? Pink! I am very fond of this color. But I only add it as accents in my home. As I was painting things and getting ready for the Vintage Market I came across a trunk I had. It was....okay but needed to be freshened up. I have been wanting to try Annie Sloan Antoinette with a splash of gold as an accent for sometime now. And when I saw this piece I knew it would be the perfect candidate! This trunk was painted all over with Annie Sloan Antoinette and Old white. I mixed the two colors until it was the pink I wanted.

Very recently I came across a deal on Decor Steals If you have not heard of Decor Steals it is an online shop that features cool and unique finds daily. But you have to get act quickly because things sell out really fast. I wanted to share two of my recent deals. That olive bucket and the lavender inside are the two recent deals.

Spray paint could have been used but I like the texture of Annie Sloan paint. I was inspired to paint it this way because of  my sweet friend Rosemary. She is so talented and amazing. Rosemary uses gesso and layers many of her creations. So when I saw this rose I new I ... View Post

Old beauty warms my heart heals my soul.... Light in color wraps around......... Front door opens laughter rings....... Cool new car drives up the path.... A  cow awaits looking in....... Vintage style makes me smile.... color is light and sweet....... I wonder what dreams await while softly sleeping..... Looking in the window view to times that have passed and those still new...... She gently smiles her heart is gold........or so I'm told...... This poem must end but remember this..... Time goes way too fast you know.... Take time to relax and go with the flow......???   Okay is that a silly poem or what. I told you I was not a writer. I found that sweet little old farmhouse toy and wanted to ... View Post
