World renowned paint effects guru and color expert Annie Sloan considers
what makes a successful interior. Style and color lie at the heart of
the matter, but both can be stumbling blocks for the amateur decorator.
Annie explains how to achieve your chosen style by creating mood boards
and analyzing key factors--scale, focus, display and layout. She
examines nine popular styes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boho Chic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Neo-Classical</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vintage Floral</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
French Style </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Swedish Style</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coastal Style</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Classic Country</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Modern
Retro</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Rough Luxe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Discover, then, the key techniques you'll need to
recreate these styles in your own home: color theory (why do some
colors work so well together? Why can the same color look dramatically
different in different rooms?), using storytelling with pictures and
collected treasures, style fusions (combining your favorite styles),
and, of course, paint techniques. With stunning photography and packed
with practical advice, this will soon become your interior style bible.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My kitchen journey has been wonderful, it turned out exactly how I saw it in my minds eye, actually, it turned out even better than I had expected. The wonderful people that we met along the way only added to the completely positive experience!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband amazes me regularly. Sure, he gets grumpy and at times he's my Negative Nelly. But that's why we work so well together, I'm always the one that knows we can do it. And if something doesn't go the way we planned, we'll find a Plan B that we're both happy with. Thanks to him for tolerating my constantly changing vision and for working so hard to make these dreams a reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a series of pictures of the "During" process as well as the FINAL REVEAL. To save some pennies (you've probably figured out by now that I'm a bit on the cheap side), I did most of the prep work myself. That includes all the taping around the floor, brown papering the granite, the back splash, the floor, the above cabinet lights, taping the slide rails for the drawers....it seemed like there were miles of blue tape (actually 3, 2 inch rolls) and miles of brown paper. I even did ALL the Zinssering of the miles of laminate as well as the raw wood on the island to save pennies in prep work.</div>

The above is my favorite picture! This is Jesse from<a href="http://www.refinishme.com/contact.html" target="_blank"> Adams Multicare</a> and he had the chore of replacing ALL the cabinet doors and drawers, making sure they all lined up and were level. It was a two day process! I know I underestimated how much work goes into lining up and leveling that many doors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, I'm working on a design for above the cabinets. I have a wonderful stencil that Robyn and I brought home from one of our Home Decor Shows that we attended and I finally brought it out. I knew there was a reason I bought it. It's simple and yet it visually fills the space. What you can't see is that at each junction that the figures meet I added a chocolate colored upholstery tack for dimension. It looks AMAZING with the chocolate colored glaze on the cabinets.</div>

I want to take a minute to talk about the Glazing that was used. As I mentioned I had a very specific look that I was trying to obtain. I wanted as smooth of a finish as possible and as defined of a glazing job as possible. I also wanted the sheen that the<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"> Lacquer</a> provided.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite ways to make a glaze with Annie's products is to mix the <a href="http://www.anniesloanunfolded.com/" target="_blank">Dark Wax</a> with equal portions of the Mineral Spirits until you get a Hershey's Chocolate Syrup consistency. You then always use the<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Soft-Waxes_c3.htm" target="_blank"> Clear Wax</a> first and then place the<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Soft-Waxes_c3.htm" target="_blank"> Dark Wax</a> Glaze in the crevices that you want to highlight, wiping off the areas that you don't want to leave the glaze.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beauty of using the glaze is that it's more forgiving on the surface than the wax. Meaning, it wipes off cleanly on the surface but stays in areas of definition. However, you can't use the waxes in conjunction with the<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Supplies_c4.htm" target="_blank"> Lacquer.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, after a consultation with my painters I picked out a color as an homage to Annie Sloan, British Brown!! Love that!! It's a lovely chocolate brown that was applied with a gun into the crevices of the cabinets and doors after they were Lacquered. Remember, the <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint®</a> is porous so sealing the paint before glazing was a must. Let me tell you, using a glazing gun requires a very steady hand to achieve a look like this.</div>

AFTER!!!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for you joining me on this journey. It was a wonderful project made entirely possible by Annie Sloan and her <a href="http://www.anniesloanunfolded.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint®</a> as well as my ever supportive husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The painters that I chose continually sang <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint®</a> praises. They loved that there is virtually no odor (almost no VOC's), the over spray cleaned up with water, the color went on velvety and evenly with the sprayers and the colors are rich and have a density to them that their products don't have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Annie-Sloan-Lacquer-33128.htm" target="_blank"> lacquer </a>was a pure pleasure to work with. One thing I learned was that the<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"> lacquer</a> should not be applied in hot conditions. It basically dried too quickly, almost on its way out of the sprayer. Once it was done in a more controlled environment, no problems at all. A lovely velvet feeling. Again, no odor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't sing<b> their</b> praises enough. Not everyone was willing to
do what they did - paint with a product that they've never worked with.
They were committed to doing the best job possible and learning as much
as they could about the product. I applaud them for their dedication
and thank them immensely for coming to my rescue during a stressful time
in my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cleverson, the company's estimator and one of their painters, made several trips to <a href="http://www.robynstorydesigns.com/" target="_blank">Robyn Story Designs & Boutique</a>. He loved the feeling of the <a href="http://www.anniesloanunfolded.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint®</a> and the <a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Soft-Waxes_c3.htm" target="_blank">waxes </a>and is now looking to do projects using the waxes as well. I love that - another fan of the paint has been born!!!<br />

<br />
When you consider that our estimate for JUST NEW CABINETS was in the high $30,000 range I'm pretty tickled with the amount of work and the products that we purchased for 1/3 of the cost. Honestly, I'm happier with our work than I was with <b><u>any</u></b> of the designs that we received. I also think it's our personality to tackle these projects on our own. We're challenged to make them look like we've spent thousands of dollars on a much smaller budget!<br />
<br />
We used more Chalk Paint® than the average person uses in their kitchen because we did <b><u>every</u></b> nook and cranny! If you're just repainting your cabinets and using the <a href="http://www.anniesloanunfolded.com/" target="_blank">Lacquer</a> you can redo your average size kitchen for less than $300.00. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've thought about doing your kitchen and are concerned it's too big of a project, I recommend you jump in and do it. My words of wisdom:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy the process, believe in your ability and have fun!!! Even if you paint your own cabinets instead of taking the short cut (but not cheaper for sure) you will love your results. Just know the look you're trying to achieve, call your local<a href="http://www.anniesloanunfolded.com/retailers" target="_blank"> Chalk Paint® retailer</a> for advice and go for it!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up, our master bathroom!!! Stay tuned. Once we recover from our kitchen re-do we'll be tackling our bath. Guess what? We have the same cabinetry in there as well and I have some great ideas..........</div>

Last I left you I had posted about the additions to our kitchen in an attempt to make it look more custom. I think we're doing a great job so far! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Off to find granite. Of course, the projects just grow! I figured we were saving so much money not having a custom kitchen that I could afford to upgrade from Corian to granite.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time is approaching where we're going to have to start painting. I know that I wrote about doing a dozen test cabinets. When I did those I did them using several different techniques. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I just brushed the paint on. As you know,<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"> Chalk Paint®</a> was designed to leave texture. The beauty of this is that it gives the <a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Soft-Waxes_c3.htm" target="_blank">waxes </a>a wonderful place to snuggle. The<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Soft-Waxes_c3.htm" target="_blank"> waxes</a> enhance all areas of texture whether it's definition from a carved design or just<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Annie-Sloan-Paint-Brush-Large-34240.htm" target="_blank"> brush</a> strokes.. However, I'm not using the <a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Soft-Waxes_c3.htm" target="_blank">waxes</a> so all of that texture wasn't necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I watered the paint down a bit to give it a more smooth finish. Actually, because I am a very meticulous painter this method appeals to me on many levels. I love a smooth finish and then burnishing it before waxing. It's just luscious. But again, I'm not waxing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I used a high density foam roller to see if this would speed up the process a little and give me the smoother finish that I was looking for. It did but I still wasn't sure which direction to go in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we started to remove the cabinet doors, it occurred to us that the laminate continued through the inside of the cabinets as well. Inside is a white laminate with white shelves. I tell you, I'm in laminate hell!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our project just got bigger, because my ideas have gotten bigger. I now want all of the insides of the cabinets painted and I'm going to change out the white shelves for dark wood shelves. I love the idea of opening up the cabinet and seeing the dark shelves pop against the <a href="http://anniesloan.com/acatalog/Old_Ochre_profile.html" target="_blank">Old Ochre</a> interior. Ohhh la la, it sounds magnificent.....but oh boy, I still have to paint on the Zinsser's Clear Shellac all over the interiors of the cabinets as well as the entire box on the wall that is laminate. I also need to prep the raw wood on the island. I plan on using the Zinsser's for this as well. Raw wood will absorb the paint differently than my cabinet doors. I want all things to be even!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those that don't understand what I'm speaking of,<a href="http://anniesloan.com/acatalog/Old_Ochre_profile.html" target="_blank"> Chalk Paint® </a>- the wonderful product that it is - will paint over almost any surface!! Even laminate. However, for extra assurance it's best to paint the laminate with a product called Zinsser's Clear Shellac. This is a product that will adhere to many surfaces and then allow you to paint <a href="http://anniesloan.com/acatalog/United_Kingdom.html" target="_blank">Chalk Paint</a>® over it without concern that the paint won't adhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjysuC1qur4ouy30PNqp5bai-u-w7WTmW8hTpUsL3L6cY0LgQBxkcgTyrgaerkDjgdkBuFtNZil_jrUPhRCvVcNcMkdB0kEPW4C4h83bnZJjYupgdoB_sCaAoMtYRc0AHY2al72L9XIPZg/s1600/shellac.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjysuC1qur4ouy30PNqp5bai-u-w7WTmW8hTpUsL3L6cY0LgQBxkcgTyrgaerkDjgdkBuFtNZil_jrUPhRCvVcNcMkdB0kEPW4C4h83bnZJjYupgdoB_sCaAoMtYRc0AHY2al72L9XIPZg/s320/shellac.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have A LOT of surface areas to paint over. It also comes in a spray can, and as much as I love this product, my experience is that the spray does not provide a solid enough coverage to be effective. It's best to brush on a nice even coat or two for the best bonding. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My project begins. I bought several cans of the Zinsser's and have begun painting all laminate areas. I have to be honest. Not only am I painting all laminate areas but then I have to paint all surface areas with the Old Ochre and Chateau Grey. I'm beginning to get overwhelmed at the thought of 45 cabinet doors and drawers as well as all of their internal components. Not to mention working, planning my daughter's wedding and dealing with my father in law's estate as well as all of the everyday chores.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided it was time to investigate having the Chalk Paint® sprayed on instead of me hand painting it. This would take less time, give me the super smooth finish I'm looking for and free me up to deal with the messes in my life. I also loved the idea of sharing this product and it's abilities to be dealt with on a commercial level. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I called a local refinishing company, <a href="http://www.refinishme.com/gallery.html" target="_blank">Adams Multicare Company,</a> and told a gentleman named Derek my sob story. He had someone come out the same day to take a look at the project. I showed the estimator, Cleverson, my cabinets that I'd painted and gave him a long introduction into the world of Chalk Paint®. He was intrigued and loved my prototypes. He wanted 'in'! I was thrilled. I loved his enthusiasm and we became instant friends.</div>

They showed up the very next day to take over my project! This was what I walked into after a long day at work. This is the picture of progress, right???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Stay tuned for the reveal. I hope you like it...it's been a long haul but I am incredibly thrilled with the transformation. </div>

Sometimes life throws us a curve ball. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our house has been in shambles for weeks. Progress is occurring, slower than I had hoped but I do see changes that I love each day. However, we hit a major stand still. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlkJ1HPQ0kGoFkKxCR7fzVJpGCpa0EJ9PpEanDwvW0HJUCXFBpiNe6LciRqIYDFK_JtVcbeE6vF6cT4gJAemNeneUovc8X61eAxVZSdjj9j_8Lmmo2dCushUXemf_pimgNMQ1Eo0NTW4A/s1600/dad+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlkJ1HPQ0kGoFkKxCR7fzVJpGCpa0EJ9PpEanDwvW0HJUCXFBpiNe6LciRqIYDFK_JtVcbeE6vF6cT4gJAemNeneUovc8X61eAxVZSdjj9j_8Lmmo2dCushUXemf_pimgNMQ1Eo0NTW4A/s320/dad+pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite men has passed away. My first father-in-law (a story too long to tell in this blog) John Corman is no longer in my world and I feel that my foundation has been shaken. He's been a part of my life since I was 15 - that's a long time. So, our project had been on hold while we dealt with our emotions and managing his estate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We continue to do what we can in between flights up north and cleaning out the house etc. George has been traveling with work as well. So, it's been slooooooowww. Painfully, slow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have managed to get our microwave built into another area of our kitchen. What used to be a pantry has now been divided.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE4IIx1A3GWvdYcmH1aKqb1BH6vHs3V_J_jJjdTAswrrfRwYKIhMw2TTjK4gfjthKStlnTQK1-df0y6sqeI-QcsJ86mQ0tyebGqSyTmWv7AshgV1Sfk_LpnmWBr_tdwXkKQsoh1lKH_FE/s1600/IMG_1135.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE4IIx1A3GWvdYcmH1aKqb1BH6vHs3V_J_jJjdTAswrrfRwYKIhMw2TTjK4gfjthKStlnTQK1-df0y6sqeI-QcsJ86mQ0tyebGqSyTmWv7AshgV1Sfk_LpnmWBr_tdwXkKQsoh1lKH_FE/s400/IMG_1135.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tall cabinet next to the refrigerator is a pantry, but George broke down the middle cabinet and built a shell to hold the built in microwave and repositioned the cabinet doors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN8Zs7bn7p_qdglqo4sox1U3voIBGz2qMY_HLd31d_-d8gOmmv_VDSybBeVuRPF1B3NkmpPo0ay3gyUSUKTKUaO44pu4c6xnWq9_R-eFA_DzAoPh2mR0Ckgk9-HhSvQPUMAgaokdz3hp4/s1600/IMG_1149.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN8Zs7bn7p_qdglqo4sox1U3voIBGz2qMY_HLd31d_-d8gOmmv_VDSybBeVuRPF1B3NkmpPo0ay3gyUSUKTKUaO44pu4c6xnWq9_R-eFA_DzAoPh2mR0Ckgk9-HhSvQPUMAgaokdz3hp4/s400/IMG_1149.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now the new microwave is in!! Notice the drawer at the bottom. That never existed before, however, with the reconfiguration of the cabinet we had an extra twelve inches at the bottom. Since I'd lost a little storage space to relocate the microwave George built a large drawer to accommodate lots of stuff!!! He even found a cabinet company online (again, thank goodness for Google) that would replicate your cabinet profile. So we ordered it and it looks identical to our existing cabinets. Of course, the wood doesn't match but we're painting it anyway!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also removed the existing crown molding and added the taller molding. I also had George add a one inch piece of wood below the molding. Essentially it gave us an additional five inches in height from the top of our cabinet to the top of the molding. This gives the cabinets a grander appearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, time to start thinking about the island. Below is the before picture. It was finished with just dry wall when we moved in and again, it was another area that screamed for some sort of design. So, because I love painting stripes I thought I'd give it some personality. It really looked better in person. However, this is not a custom look. I wanted a nice, chunky, more custom appearance.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here we've wrapped the island in unfinished wood</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We also decided to build in a niche - why not!! A nice little place on each end of the island to display something. Don't worry about all of the gaps in the woodwork. One thing I'm great at is caulking - I actually love to caulk. Thankfully, because George hates to caulk - did I mention we're the perfect team!!!</div>

The other end of the island</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is a picture of the very boring kick board that bridges the floor and the base of the cabinets. This was where I wanted to add the furniture feet to give it a more custom look. Again, notice the difference in the wood color and the laminate!</div>

When we were out looking at having a kitchen made for us I kept going towards the painted/glazed cabinet. I just love that look. We have a separate island as well and we thought about doing the contrasting color and then having it all finished with a nice mocha glaze.</div>

After getting the estimates - not changing the footprint at all - just new cabinets with crown molding and light rail molding (the molding that goes under the cabinet to hide the under cabinet lighting) we were looking at a minimum of $30,000. Of course, I wanted<u> some</u> of the bells and whistles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My wish list was</b>:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Furniture feet at the base of the cabinets to look more custom</li>
<li>Large corbels on my island to give it some gerth</li>
<li>Taller crown molding</li>
<li>Stainless Steel Range hood that would go to the ceiling</li>
<li>Built in microwave, as opposed to the one above the range</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That didn't seem like too much to ask. Apparently it was. These items increased our estimate by <i><u>several </u></i>thousand dollars. Aaaarrgghhh. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's a girl to do? After our last custom estimate I came home depressed. I just couldn't justify spending that much on something that didn't thrill me or on a house that I'm not sure I want to die in!! ( I really do want to get to the water eventually). So we abandoned the ship.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you all have probably already thought the obvious. It took me another week of mulling over my options until it hit me!</div>

I am incredibly lucky to have a very talented

that actually takes the ideas that are in my mind and creates magic! (And they say men can't read women's minds......mine can!!! )He loves the challenge of wood working and if I promised to buy him any toy, ahem, excuse me - tool, he may need surely, he would oblige my every whim, right?</div>

We started by taking a trip to our local Sears Outlet. I also realized that the Wolff and Viking appliances were not in my budget. But I wanted a built in microwave. Low and behold, they had a great one with the teeniest of dings that you can't see!!! For a bargain. So we purchased it and brought it home with great plans to build it in to an existing area of our cabinetry.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">oh boy, point of no return. We took out the cabinet in preparation for a stainless hood</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The work has begun. We already knew where we were going to put the new microwave so we sold our old one on Craigslist (I am an addict and need a 12-step program to stop selling/buying on Craigslist).<br />
<br />
Now that the area is void of anything we also needed to find a range hood that would fit our 30" opening. We searched high and low and nothing really fit the bill (that also fit our price range). There are hundreds on the market but their prices are unbelievable and many of them look like flying saucers!!<br />
<br />
We actually walked into our local IKEA and stumbled upon the range hood that encompassed all of my design needs - it wasn't too contemporary and definitely had a more transitional appeal<br />
(We learned that although there is no brand name located on the hood it is actually made by Whirlpool and privately labeled for IKEA.) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGY2yCQ7Ww72jA3hhuZ7qNiWUCv0pYArDbDqr7ZwyA5Eh-oWSlqYE_a2SlA4k8Ha1Hqmio9VmfiDnju4glHS-hhau_wGFffMmKdt6okl2pgtpu5TP618Gax1GdVQ5tAzkCVFJ_dtP5cnk/s1600/datid-exhaust-hood__0138072_PE297239_S4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGY2yCQ7Ww72jA3hhuZ7qNiWUCv0pYArDbDqr7ZwyA5Eh-oWSlqYE_a2SlA4k8Ha1Hqmio9VmfiDnju4glHS-hhau_wGFffMmKdt6okl2pgtpu5TP618Gax1GdVQ5tAzkCVFJ_dtP5cnk/s320/datid-exhaust-hood__0138072_PE297239_S4.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next decision was how, when, what color, what finish to do the cabinets in. So, we took a trip to our local<a href="http://www.habitat.org/restores" target="_blank"> Habitat ReStore</a> and purchased a dozen old cabinet doors that look exactly like ours. Then I got busy painting each one a different color, mixed a few colors of <a href="http://www.anniesloanunfolded.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint® </a>together and kept on painting. After many test cabinets I stuck with my original thought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Old Ochre</a> for the majority of my kitchen, this is truly my favorite neutral!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Chateau Grey</a> for the island. I am a green girl, this color has always been my favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next was how to finish them. Of course, I adore the<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Chalk-Paint-Soft-Waxes_c3.htm" target="_blank"> waxes</a> and the finishes that you can achieve with them, but I have also grown very fond of the <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Annie Sloan Lacquer</a>. So, again, test cabinets galore....we opted to use the Lacquer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason was pretty simple. I found a cabinet from a major cabinet maker that I loved and this was the way I wanted my cabinets to look -<u><b> exactly</b></u> like them. The look was: color, slight sheen with a gorgeous defined glazed in a deep chocolate. We are trying to bridge traditional style into a more transitional style, perhaps with a nod to contemporary.<br />
<br />
So, after doing a dozen test cabinets, which took me a few weeks to
accomplish because of my schedule and George's, we finally figured out
the look we were going for. <br />
<br />
Now, I've accomplished two of the items on my wish list. We needed to source out my furniture feet to put along the kick board under the cabinets for a more custom look. Thank goodness for Google!<br />

Now to find the chunky corbels. I knew exactly the look I wanted so we found another source online for those as well.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Last, but certainly not least was the crown molding. I wanted something taller (our existing molding was only three inches, I wanted a four inch molding at minimum. George's office is across the street from a custom wood manufacturer. During lunch he took a ride over and checked it out and found the exact molding we have in other areas of our home. Perfection.<br />
<br />
Now, I have all the components that I need to continue with our re-do. Check back to see the progress!!</div>

So, not feeling content with our home we started the search for perfection</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or at least something that was a change from what we have</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
condo searching...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we learned after 6 intensive months of research and house hunting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why we needed to stay put.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently, I have expensive taste (this surprised no one!) and a very light wallet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living on the intracoastal or the beach is BIG bucks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we came home after the last exhaustive day and decided to redo things in our own home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all, we live on the water...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE7iLknJdzRlg8t5SOgVXHEPTzkb1ZWmv_gwUacK_4YwiwfW5QFjYMC1-LR79RuDg9xVHjtsoFw69uSIAY6lPAnvYMnu917KrYCgenkX0QM4sfWghQcMQ0hvfrw6VYwDLRZ8ntPROC0Tg/s1600/Picture+584.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE7iLknJdzRlg8t5SOgVXHEPTzkb1ZWmv_gwUacK_4YwiwfW5QFjYMC1-LR79RuDg9xVHjtsoFw69uSIAY6lPAnvYMnu917KrYCgenkX0QM4sfWghQcMQ0hvfrw6VYwDLRZ8ntPROC0Tg/s400/Picture+584.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, a lake...but we have an amazing back yard so why not stay and spend a little in our home to make it even better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that's where it all began.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kitchen is the heart of our home. I love to cook and it always seems our family congregates in the kitchen. Moving South from Pennsylvania was a big decision and one that I was totally onboard with, but the one thing I struggled with most was leaving my beautiful kitchen.<br />
It was just a dream kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Down here, things are different, homes are built with different priorities. It wasn't until months of searching that I finally asked a builder why the kitchens are just 'eh' unless we spend a lot more money than I wanted to spend. The reason was simple - does a builder invest $40,000 into a great kitchen or do they spend $40,000 into a gorgeous pool/lanai area?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pools in Florida are as necessary as fireplaces in Montana.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, we decided to start in our 'eh' kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't judge me on this kitchen. Yes, it is mine before our transformation. But you have to work with what you have....right?<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me point out what I DO like, I like staggered cabinets. It gives a little more interest to a kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the problem with them is what do you do above them? There's a large expanse of wall above them just screaming for something. So I filled it up with stuff to visually fill the space</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE crown molding above cabinets</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But if it's insignificantly sized, it looks like it's missing something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The below picture will tell you what really started our disdain. The cabinet doors are all natural solid wood with a natural maple stain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However the box that held the doors is all laminate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2lFJBNi0PHK__KkM34EeLgx5lry_2UAHwdY-ZEOjEgRpOnvhPdJN5oKAmSRW1hXN74F5QzsWK0RhQAuIbU4qSzPgqOMmFVTZEF08N0e8SNUDkjGJ1wmQDnDojQhNXicIfLN_89mNODg/s1600/IMG_1154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2lFJBNi0PHK__KkM34EeLgx5lry_2UAHwdY-ZEOjEgRpOnvhPdJN5oKAmSRW1hXN74F5QzsWK0RhQAuIbU4qSzPgqOMmFVTZEF08N0e8SNUDkjGJ1wmQDnDojQhNXicIfLN_89mNODg/s400/IMG_1154.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What happens over a period of time is that the wood will age, naturally, and the laminate will stay the same...........FOREVER. Ugh, how I hated to see this and it is very obvious when you enter our kitchen. Look at the pictures above, between the doors you'll see the lighter color. Hated it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So more research had begun. We went to Home Depot and Lowe's (my home away from home) and had them redesign our kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to Kraftmaid Kitchen Center and had them redesign our kitchen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We checked out several local Kitchen and Bath centers for their ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discovered that a new kitchen (just cabinets, not granite, not new appliances and no real bells and whistles) was going to cost us roughtly $30-40 thousand dollars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
GULP!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not in this home and not in this time of our economy. But you know what the kicker was?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing excited us. How can we spend that kind of money and not be excited about what we were getting?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seemed ridiculous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned for our progress, the decisions we made and our finished project!<br />
This is the beginning of a journey. Feel free to offer advice or share your stories.<br />
We all learn from eachother!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have enjoyed reading it cover to cover. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've played in <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><b>Chalk Paint®</b></a> and had so much fun experimenting with colors and techniques.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's our latest project.....painting fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how the chair started out. Old gold/orange crushed velvet,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the wood had an old Pecan finish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the after!! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The back is the prettiest I think. Lori painted a stencil design in <b><a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">French Linen</a> </b>and accented the piping and the buttons on the chair with <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><b>French Linen</b></a> as well. The wood on the chair was painted in <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><b>Old White</b></a> but the little wicker sides were dry brushed with the<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><b> French Linen</b></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgMQrQBqvy37J7cJNAqiE92sELmtUj21IJSU7q_N5Q1tNMYGyXSEHVnW4vFMfjKxHyQ0wqCNG8_EZBHzg8JU1oMXumEkQ4mADGYpoja0QPqnfvTdQMh6iKQzjvH4k-4euILCWdHxUATxY/s1600/photo(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgMQrQBqvy37J7cJNAqiE92sELmtUj21IJSU7q_N5Q1tNMYGyXSEHVnW4vFMfjKxHyQ0wqCNG8_EZBHzg8JU1oMXumEkQ4mADGYpoja0QPqnfvTdQMh6iKQzjvH4k-4euILCWdHxUATxY/s400/photo(1).JPG" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The chair was cleaned of debris and dust, then Lori applied the paint using her "dippy dippy" method. She dipped her brush into the paint and got a nice healthy amount of paint on her brush, then quickly dipped it into a little pail of water and applied it to the fabric. This was repeated until all fabric was coated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The water helps the fabric absorb the paint evenly. One of the things that she learned along the way was to stay with the nap of the fabric. Again, this was crushed velvet so it definitely has a nap to it. Going in multiple directions when painting the fabric is fine but ending with the brush going in one direction kept the fabric from feeling too stiff and sand papery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the first coat was dried, she applied her subsequent coats until all fabric was completely covered. When you are doing a fabric such as velvet, it may require more coats to cover the nap completely. After it completely dried she worked in <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><b>Clear Wax</b></a> a small section at a time. After each small section she immediately buffed it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the entire chair was painted and waxed it felt exactly like leather. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Smooth and cool to the touch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then loaded it up on our truck to take to Fancy Flea in Lakeland!! I have to say, it could have SOLD twice in the first hour but I had separation anxiety!! I just loved it when it was done and barely had time to enjoy it. She actually painted this while I was out of town so I had about 10 minutes to enjoy it!! I finally gave in and sold it a couple of hours later. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is THE PERFECT way to rejuvenate old upholstered furniture! Who needs to spend thousands of dollars on new pieces or reupholstering! Just grab your favorite color of <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><b>Chalk Paint®</b></a> and paint it...get a stencil to enhance it and VOILA, a new piece of furniture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To all of you naysayers out there. YES, this adheres to fabric. NO it does not chip. NO it does not peel. YES it cracks (like an old leather bomber jacket) and YES it is water repellant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is fabulous! Seriously, what have you got to lose? TRY IT!!! Grab Annie's new book</div>

Today was a CRAZY day at the store</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet I had such a FUN TIME!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My New Year's Resolution was to spend MORE time doing the things that I love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well<span style="font-size: large;">, I LOVE </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint</a>®</span><span style="font-size: large;">a Decorative Paint</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and<span style="font-size: large;"> I LOVE</span> my store, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Annie-Sloan-Chalk-Paint_c2.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Robyn Story Designs and Boutique.</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is my home away from home. I spend five days a week there<span style="font-size: small;"> (<span style="font-size: small;">at least!!)</span></span> and even when I'm at home my mind is at the stor<span style="font-size: small;">e, thinking of new products to buy or how to make a<span style="font-size: small;"> new venue</span>. </span>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. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I literally grabbed a bunch of<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint®</a></span> colors and started rolling then ragging, then brushing all my chosen colors:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">French Linen</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Coco</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Country Grey</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Old Violet</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Paris Grey </span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the wall to achieve a concrete colored marbled effect. </div>

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</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then I rememberd<br />
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ANNIE SLOAN LACQUER!!!</span></a><br />
<br />
So we rolled just one nice even coat on the walls and it was instantly<br />

It was such a fun day....I so seldom have the opportunity to take the time to create.<br />
So far this year, I'm sticking to the promise that I made to myself.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Chalk Paint® </span></a>never ceases to amaze me. I've transformed<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">furniture</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">chandeliers</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">planters at my store</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">my store driveway</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and sidewalks</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and so many other things.....</span><br />
<br />
Adding this wall to the list of all the products that<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/" target="_blank">Chalk Paint®</a></span>can transform was just wonderful!! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Please, stop on by and take a peak. I'm off to market tomorrow to bring my visions for<br />
<a href="http://shop.robynstorydesigns.com/Annie-Sloan-Chalk-Paint_c2.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ROBYN STORY DESIGN & BOUTIQUE</span></a><br />
to fruition!! The sound of trucks approaching the loading docks is music to my ears!!!<br />
<br />
One more promise that I made....spend more time with<br />
King Louie!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: small;">Marian Parsons (a.k.a. Miss Mustard Seed) believes that “you don’t need a
huge budget, a degree in interior design, or a boatload of DIY
(do-it-yourself) experience” to create a stylish, joy-filled home. With
God by her side, this pastor’s wife, mother of two and owner of Mustard
Seed Interiors in Gettysburg, PA, shows how your own blessings, energy
and talent can create the home you want. She’s already inspired the
thousands of people who read her blog to uncover their God-given
creativity; now she brings her values of creativity, contentment and
frugality to <i>Inspired You</i> with glorious results. Her encouraging
words, biblical insights and how-to projects will help you awaken your
creative spirit, too.<i> Color photos.</i></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> “When I first went to Art School I was encouraged
to keep a sketchbook. This was not just for sketching but also highly useful as
a way of developing a visual voice and language. I used my sketchbooks to
collect colours, pieces ripped from magazines and pattern making. I still do.
Use this Work Book in the same way – as your ‘aide memoire’. Plan the colour
palette of a room, work out a piece of furniture, or simply use the book to
experiment and develop your own particular style and colour palette by
collecting what appeals to you. Draw little sketches, use the pockets to
collect ribbons, fabric pieces and cuttings from magazines. Experiment with
colour combinations and making your own mixes. <b>‘Go ahead and paint in the
book.’ </b>Don’t worry about not being able to draw – just use stick men!
Remember, if you do something you don’t like you can always cover it with a
magazine cutting you fancy! Keep it handy in your day bag, or by your work desk
or bedside. You can never tell when a creative idea will suddenly jump
out!...Love Annie Sloan.”</span></div>
