There is no way to know what a day will hold for me
when I walk through the shop door~
and yesterday was the perfect example....I was in the back room
trying to get at some bills and some shipping orders from the online shop
and answering emails when a customer walked in~she had a snazzy hat
on and a pink tweed coat and had an arsenal of samples.
The beautiful wallpaper was hers~and I loved it as soon as I saw it!
It was a water colory...

Grey Painted Furniture, the WORKBOOK and My Dining Room Returns!
Colin is painting a sideboard in a custom french grey color mix~
I added two colors together and he got to the painting~
Its coming along nicely~
This piece was really a great looking piece that I got at auction. It is extra long
and isn't terribly old~maybe 30 years....its solid cherry and normally I might have thought twice
about painting it but it had a deep scratch along the top. So after a bit of Elmers Wood Filler it was ready
for a pretty paint job. Stay tuned...

Faded Roses Slipcover and whats new...
This is the time of year many of us want to spruce up our home

a chair a whole new look for very little fabric and effort.
Before
This old french chair needed a pick me up!
I decided to use Annie Sloan Faded Roses fabric
from her European Fabric Collection
to create a cottage style easy slipcover.
After
Its flirty and feminine and has a vintage French feeling.
I basically made a pattern...
