Happy Monday, friends! It's stormy and rainy here in Atlanta, so I've got something to brighten your day. I've been itching to try Annie Sloan's Antibes green for weeks. I finally realized I had the perfect small piece right under my nose, just waiting to become a pop of glorious color. Don't you love it when that happens?

In honor of my No Spend Month I'd thought I'd touch on the Pantone color of the year... emerald green!

This Goodwill find was languishing in my garage... but I had … [Read more...]

I've had the piece for over 20 years and it was time for some TLC and a makeover so she could really shine! Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to the rescue! I finally had to bite the bullet and start painting. :) And ended up with this... A custom paint color of Annie Sloan Paris Gray … [Read more...]
