VINTAGE DESK in VINTAGE TURQUOISE - mixing annie sloan chalk paint

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint has a high

volume of pigment in it. One benefit

of this is the ability to dye fabric with

it. Another advantage of the strong

colors is how little of a color you need

to mix new colors. I mixed a beautiful

vintage turquoise color using Annie

Sloan paints.

FLOWER FROGS AND FLORENCE - new color and hardware storage

I picked up a tester pot of the new ASCP color called Florence.
It is a vibrant turquoise and I do love it. George has a collection of mason jars he has found at yard
sales, and when he wasn't looking I snuck off with several and painted them in a shade of this new
 color. He was so pleased he suggested offering them in the Etsy shop.

You can give your room a special pop of color with
vintage mason jars painted in your favorite color.

I mixed a small bit of ASCP Florence with Pure White to get this beachy color

and splashed it throughout our summer deck.

This weekend we had a very successful workshop on that same deck and everyone asked about the paint color.

 This is one of the projects I the ladies work on. They got to fill holes, brush paint, wax, distress,
drill, nail, and finally install new glass knobs.

Here is another use for vintage glass flower frogs.
