MORE CHALK PAINT GOODNESS!

Hi all! I’ve been extremely busy around these parts, but I did manage to makeover a dresser that I picked up a few weeks ago.  I also picked up some more chalk paint in the color “Provence”!

 

Here is the piece before

And here is the after!

Wouldn’t she be perfect for a buffet holding cupcakes? Or even your wedding cakes and vintage mix match plates? Or even for a backyard dinner!  She is being adding to my inventory that is for rent.

FYI, Provence is not bright like shown in the pictures above… Its more like this

 

BTW, her name is Eloise

JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON

Everyone has tried the Annie Sloan chalk paint except me!  I have been intrigued by its promises ever since Miss Mustard Seed blogged about it a few months back.

Last week I found the perfect piece to use the paint on

 

I originally thought pink would be a really great choice for this desk, but since I’m using the chalk paint, I decided to purchase Henrietta!

It’s said to be a beautiful lavender with pink undertones… Sounds good to me!

I think it will be perfect on my desk and hopefully for a wedding this summer!

 

Have you tried chalk paint?!

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX..

The other day I posted about not knowing what I’m doing when it comes to my vintage furniture business.  Here are a few things I do know:

I love vintage furniture…

I love vintage accessories…

(via pinterest)

I love collecting and finding vintage pieces…

Some of my collection

I love “vintage inspired” events…

I hate parting with my pieces…

(another one of my finds!)

I can’t keep purchasing stuff and not making a return on it…

(old baseballs and glove I collected)

So what do I do about wanting to collect vintage items, own a business, and make money doing it????

Swoon Worthy Vintage

~EVENT RENTALS~

 

My girl Rachel posted about taking her business in a different direction and I immediately knew what she was thinking because I had been contemplating the same exact thing. 

I want to take my vintage pieces

and bring them to life!

Vintage rentals is a great idea for brides looking to infuse a little vintage flair to her wedding but not wanting to spend precious time looking for vintage items, or wondering what to do with them after the wedding for that matter. 

This is still new for me so I am working hard to get everything in place as far as photographing my collection, getting the word out, having a website created and so forth… I’ll definitely keep you all posted as things start to come together!

Until then, do you know of anyone getting married in Atlanta?
