and today I'd like to feature one of my many customers that have come to my store for
Chalk Paint® a decorative paint!

  Ashley came in for the first time a few weeks ago, just for the 
CHALK PAINT®

however, she's found her 'home away from home'....
she says that we inspire her!!

Let me show you how she inspired me and I know once you see this amazing transformation

she will

INSPIRE YOU!

This is a picture of the headboard before Ashley's transformation!

Just look at the difference Chalk Paint®, waxes, decoupage and Craqueluer product can make

This is the after!!

Ashley, admits that Chalk Paint® has become an obsession.  She painted right over the original wood finish with OLD WHITE, then layered PARIS GREY over that.  She used CLEAR WAX and distressed it.  Allowing the OLD WHITE and the wood finish beneath it all to peak through.  She then sealed it with a little more CLEAR WAX, followed by the DARK WAX.

Look at the detail and all the beautiful distressing, this looks like a well loved, well aged heirloom!

Once she was done she used Modge Podge to decoupage her Toile Tissue Paper (compliments of Robyn Story Designs!!) to the inset of the head and foot board!  To top it all off she used CRAQUELUER step 1 and 2 with DARK WAX rubbed in to the areas of crackle to achieve the look of old worn paper!!

Ashley wanted to keep some of the wood but  marry the paint in the room so that it all made sense.  She kept the bureau in its original finish but painted the mirror with the same combination of colors.  Now the room has symmetry in color.  I think you notice the pieces more, the mirror just POPS now!

Here's the bed put back together.  Notice the fixture next to the bed.  That's a repurposed shutter (from Habitat for Humanity) and a wall sconce wired right on top.  What a great way to bring some character and texture to a room!! (Another popular design from Robyn Story Designs)

Thank you Ashley for creating a beautiful retreat and sharing it with us and allowing me to share it with everyone.  I know others will find this inspirational!
