Annie Describes the new colors as:

Pure White: Quite simply a pure clean white

Coco: An warm greyed brown, the colour found on old French woodwork.

French Linen: A cool neutral khaki grey inspired by bleached deep neutral of old pieces of French and Italian furniture.

Barcelona Orange: An older color that is being brought back by popular demand!

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is now at Ironic!

All colors in stock and the clear and dark wax. Happy Painting!

This and That

This week has not been the most exciting week ever for me creatively, but I did get a lot done. The dryer finally breathed it's last breath and things like that throw me for a loop! I did sand some sweet vintage bouncy furniture that will be going to Ironic next week to stage for the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint display (sweating like crazy in this insane heat with a mask on) and staged some images. So I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures from the past few month of a few things...Enjoy! Happy Friday!

House Dreams....

I am dreaming of a house with NO carpet! It will be awhile before we build a house, but we like to talk about what we love and want in our future home. There are so many beautiful house plans and ideas that it's best to keep up with what I like so when the day comes I know exactly what I love. Pinterest is a great way to keep it organized. Here are some ideas for the new digs someday...

This house plan caught my eye...

The Braeburn Cottage at Southern Living. The porch, the roof, mixed use of exterior, doors, windows, floor plan, LOVE it. I see us sitting out on the porch on our farm.

Kinsley Place from Southern Living. The exterior is gorgeous. Gothic Farmhouse.

I would decorate it like this.

Make a few built-ins, like the china cabinet.

And make a play house, just for Caleb.

What's your dream house like?

Do you need Annie Sloan Chalk Paint? It's here! I just got my shipment this week and have been unpacking all the pretty colors. And I sold some before it was even unloaded off the truck. I can't wait to get them out and start working. So if you would like purchase any paint before the webstore opens and before it goes into the storefront in Knoxville, please contact me at jvonderf@comcast.net.
