Chalk it Up!

Chalkboards. Useful. Informative. Sassy.

Here is a great tutorial on how to make a chalkboard from Power of Paint

This is a great collection of chalkboard ideas from Funky Junk

This chalkboard was a headboard in a former life! A little gray paint, a little chalkboard paint, add some hooks and now you have a stylish chalkboard that you can hang your coats on too!

I have several chalkboards around my house...

Remember the front porch? This is the chalkboard I have out there, I change it with the seasons.

This "chalkboard" is in my kitchen. I painted an entire wall with chalkboard paint. We use it all the time!

So, now that you have some ideas...

This is my pile of ugly frames waiting to be made into super cool chalkboards for our sale July 26 and 27!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

We Don't Hide Crazy...

Summertime and porches go together like....drunk and disorderly!

Seriously tho...Your front porch is the first thing everyone sees when they come over! Whether it's small or large covered or uncovered it can be welcoming and beautiful!
I've gathered some great ideas from Pinterest to inspire you!

from City Farmhouse Blog

from Snap! Creativity Blog

And of course, here are our summer porches

 Diane's welcoming front porch. Love the brick and all the beautiful flowers!

 Amy's front door including Snoopy the Cocker Spaniel!

 To the left is some rocking chairs...

And to the right is a comfy sitting area! See the chalkboard above the couch? Come back Friday for more chalkboards!



Enjoy the summer from your front porch!

Chalk Paint Tips and Tricks

You all know we use chalk paint. Chalk paint is by far the best choice for re-painting furniture. It sticks to everything and has a beautiful chip-y finish. I've collected a few tips and tricks from around Pinterest for all of you DIy-ers.

Here are a few "before & afters" to show you just what a little paint can do!

Remember, if you have an ugly "before" we do custom painting for beautiful "afters"!

Happy Home

We love doing what we do! And we really enjoy seeing our pieces, that we put so much love into, in their new home! These pictures are from Caitlin and Drew. They just built their first home and purchased several of our pieces to furnish it.

This sofa table is just perfect behind well....the sofa!

What an adorable little table, just perfect for a young growing family!

How much do you love this dining room? I think it's adorable! Both of the blue pieces are by Diane! Actually, all the pieces pictured are from Diane! 

Remember, we do special orders! If you have any items you need painted send us an email!

What's your bag?

I saw this adorable purse by Kate Spade:

and decided I needed it! Unfortunately, although it's totally worth it, $200 is out of my purse allowance budget! So...I decided to make one!

Then I made a few others!

These will all be available at our next sale July 26th and 27th! If you're interested in them before then, I can customize them in any color and saying, just drop me an email!

P.S. they are approximately 18X16 and have 3 pockets on the inside.
