It all started with the bookcase, which had a domino
effect that spilled over to this project: tinting lampshades.
I think I had about 6 projects going at the same time yesterday,
but this one is soooo easy, you may want to try it for yourself
for an instant lift to your decor. These lampshades are old shades

Sometimes you might not even realize how special

has happened since I was born....
Christmas 2014 has officially passed into our family history books.
We welcomed one special new member into our family! You can see
her stocking hanging by the fireplace. Justin married...

Faux Cobblestone Wall
Create a feature wall with a simple technique using sponges and
Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. My son Colin did this wall in his bedroom
in several hours. We did a makeover on his room awhile back

Pink Polka Dotted Washer and Dryer
You can't run out to Sears and buy this set...but you can create it
if you wanted to update your own old washer and dryer. Its easy with
Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. One of our favorite Maison Decor customers
paints furniture for a living. Like many of our customers, Melissa is a mom
who has discovered how easy and reliable Chalk Paint is to use on furniture
makeovers. She has built a nice business for herself painting furniture
and selling it...
