Louis Blue on the Mora Clock and my shoes


 The latest custom mora clock is in Louis Blue with Old White.
 I just finished it up today~you can see the two 
small table top Moras that I showed last night on the blog. 
They are in my online store, www.shopmaisondecor.com, 
and one sold last night. 
 I have been loving pale blue lately~
and so it was nice painting the clock this color.
 I did a wash of Louis and Old White over the base coat of plain Louis~
then I finished with the clear and dark waxes.
 The cute table tops~I am trying to get more of these!
 While I had the 50/50 mix of Louis Blue and Old White Chalk Paint™ 
for the clock, there was a tad leftover, so my cream suede shoes
 are now Blue Suede Shoes!! It goes on super~the shoes look brand new! 
Highly recommend! I have heard of people painting their canvas sneakers too~
 Blue rimmed coffee cups~I love aqua and sky blues~
Sold some more paint today and a desk and some other goodies~
thanks for reading my blog!

Has it come to using chalk paint on footwear now, Amy? : ) Love those small sized Mora clocks! That mug is great looking, too. I wish I didn't have so many in my cabinet right now!

That's a very pretty pale blue, Amy. I painted my running shoes, and my husband thought they were new. Your shoes look fab, my dear.

Want you to know that you are in my top five LOVE bloggers. I love following your story, your development of your store, your savvy tenacious spirt. SO GLAD you took the curtains down in your store window....that and the green sofa drove me crazy...but what do I know? Love the "dream pink". I keep wanting to purchase a mora clock and now maybe affordable by getting a table top one. You rock girl.

LOVE the blue on the clock....perfect shade. And your shoes, thats a riot...you are so funny and so creative! Looking good, superwoman.

Ooh, I love the blue clock- I think that's my favorite so far. The small ones are adorable, I may actually be able to find a spot for one of those. I remember painting my keds many, many years ago with craft paint, hadn't thought of using chalk paint. hmm, maybe it's time to revisit that idea.

The Dirty Girls said...

Love the shoes! I am into pale blue lately too, the clock looks really pretty!
