Today was a CRAZY day at the store
Yet I had such a FUN TIME!!
My New Year's Resolution was to spend MORE time doing the things that I love.
and I LOVE my store,
It is my home away from home. I spend five days a week there (at least!!) and even when I'm at home my mind is at the store, thinking of new products to buy or how to make a new venue. Today I wanted to do a treatment on a focal wall in the store that would lend itself to my ultimate vision of where I see the store going.
So I literally grabbed a bunch of Chalk Paint® colors and started rolling then ragging, then brushing all my chosen colors:
on the wall to achieve a concrete colored marbled effect.

Once I got the colors on the wall the way I liked I couldn't decide how to make it look a bit richer. I thought about burnishing or waxing
but then I rememberd
ANNIE SLOAN LACQUER!!!
So we rolled just one nice even coat on the walls and it was instantly
GORGEOUS!
It was such a fun day....I so seldom have the opportunity to take the time to create.
So far this year, I'm sticking to the promise that I made to myself.
Chalk Paint® never ceases to amaze me. I've transformed
furniture
chandeliers
planters at my store
my store driveway
and sidewalks
and so many other things.....
Adding this wall to the list of all the products that
Chalk Paint®can transform was just wonderful!!
Please, stop on by and take a peak. I'm off to market tomorrow to bring my visions for
ROBYN STORY DESIGN & BOUTIQUE
to fruition!! The sound of trucks approaching the loading docks is music to my ears!!!
One more promise that I made....spend more time with
King Louie!
Because at the end of the day, no matter what, Louie is waiting for his Momma!
