The one where it all began

The one where it all began. 3 years ago my niece needed a new dresser for her room that we were creating at her Nana's house just for her. We had been looking up different paints and had heard about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®. We decided to give it a try and absolutely fell I. Love. 

The first piece we did was pink and old white dresser. 

We used pink for the first layer of paint. Once that was on in all the places we wanted it we added a couple of thin layers of old white. As soon as everything was dry we used sand painter to bring the pink forward on different parts of the dresser, and agin we let it sit over night. The next morning we used washclothes to clean the whole dresser from the sanding the piece down. Our final step was to wax the whole thing. You must wax at least times if not 3. And then your piece needs to cure for 30 days before using so that it doesn't scratch. 

Let us know which of our projects you would like to hear about next. 

Thanks, 

See you all soon.

Bazaars are over and back to real life

We again want to thank everyone for all of your support this bazaar season. We enjoyed seeing all of you! It is back to painting furniture and making signs.

Check out some of the holiday signs we have out at our booth right now. 

Love, love, love Windows with saying and we have this one out at the fussy duck right now. 

Oh Dr. Seuss you always know what to say. I love the say the yellow background makes the words just pop 

Love barnwood frames. I think they look great on any wall. 

That's all for now. I hope that now that the craziness is over I can get into a good posting schedule on here. 

Thank you all,

Marie and Dorane
