Not because it took so long to do, but rather I just kept getting side tracked, but not today! Soft and muted pastel harlequin on top, a NY Finger Lake inspired landscape…and the perfect shade of purple by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint called Emile. In fact…this whole dresser was painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint..yep- all of it! If you love her but are thinking, “nothing else in the room will match her.” No problem! Bring me in another piece and I can paint it in a matching design! Totally easy-peasy! So, come and visit her (meaning this sweet dresser) at my shop – 208 East Main Street in Palmyra! Keep in mind- pending where you live- if you travel to Eastview Mall- MY SHOP IS LOCATED ACTUALLY CLOSER TO YOUR HOME.

The PAINT WAS A FLYIN’ on December 10th at our ReFunk YOU Junk Workshop. What a great time and then end results were nothing less than magnificent. I think the overall opinion was- how surprised the ladies were with the ease of making their own pieces- look like they came right out of a Pottery Barn catalog- AND HOW MUCH FUN THEY HAD DOING IT!!!! The NEXT ReFunk YOUR Junk Workshop will be held on Sunday, January 22nd at The Purple Painted Lady. Email Trish at takuntz@rochester.rr.com if you would like to join in on the fun!!!!

Well, up-cycled furniture is when you take something old, making it new. Something stale, and make it FRESH! It is RE-puposing, RE-using and RE-loving a piece that was probably hidden in the basement or attic. Often the way to achieve is this is with PAINT! And the BEST furniture paint out there- HANDS DOWN- is Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint answers the needs for a paint that can have MANY uses from acting like a limewash, to looking like old painted furniture and it has an excellent range of colour that can be extended you. This paint is SOOOO easy to work with and allows people to be artists! It gives you the gift of being creative- EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CRAFTY!!! And the paint is easy and kind to use… So, now you are thinking…what does that mean? Basically, you don’t need to get involved with technicalities of preparation and it also allows you to change your mind without hassle.

You can buy the paint right here online or stop in my store at 208 East Main Street in Palmyra, NY 14522. I carry Annie Sloan Chalk Paint & Waxes, paint & wax brushes, sand paper, = EVERYTHING you need to start and finish your project in ONE day!!!
