Kerry transformed her boots with Florence. Don’t they look awesome?

Kerry says that the color Florence is the most universal color that looks wonderful on everyone! So, when shopping for clothes- look for Florence.

Florence Sample Board

To paint your leather boots, thin your Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan with a little water.

Add about 10% to 20% water to the amount of paint needed for your boots. It won’t take much paint to paint your boots…maybe a couple tablespoons as most.

Try “dry brushing” your first coat on initially and see the results. Do you like it? Yes? Great- apply a coat of wax over your boots.

If no….go ahead and apply more paint.

Either way- once done painting, apply a uniform coat of clear wax. It will moisturize your paint and protect your boots!

Kerry’s specialty is doing individual color analysis. She will be a life saver for you since she guides you on which colors are best based on your skin and hair color. A color analysis consultation at Indigo Tones will give you the tools you need to build a wardrobe that compliments your coloring, your personality, your lifestyle, and budget. Kerry’s unique approach to personal color analysis will also help you understand more about who you are and what makes you feel confident.

She provides the highest quality botanically based mineral cosmetics, organic skin care, natural fiber swatch books, and handmade jewelry and accessories. Indigo Tones is about finding the simple, natural ways we can make our lives better!

Paint Your Washer & Dryer with Chalk Paint®

Use Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan to jazz up your old washer & dryer?

Absolutely!

Check out what Melissa’s Perfect Piece did!

Melissa The Purple Painted Lady Chalk Paint Washer Dryer Laundry Room painted

This almost makes doing laundry fun!

My suggestion for painting your washer and dryer would be to wipe down each with water.  If you are like me and get detergent on the front of it….wipe it down using Krud Kutter.  Dirt and residual cleaning products will repel paint so make sure it is clean.  Rinse with a new rag and fresh water after cleaning.

Dry thoroughly.

Then paint with Chalk Paint®. Paint first coat and wait 24 hours, then do second coat.

Adding detail? Do it with Chalk Paint®.

Then, use the Artisan Enhancements Clear Topcoat Sealer OR  Artisan Enhancements Clear Finish as your top coat. It will work wonderfully.

And voila! You are done!

Melissa created this pretty pink custom color using Chalk Paint®. (Check out the paint mixing tool on our website to help with color mixing ideas!) => Click HERE

Custom Purple Colors Using Chalk Paint®

Creating custom Chalk Paint® colors is easier than you think!

One of our wonderful customers, Aimée Crawford -wanted a custom purple for her growth rulers that she creates from scratch!

We helped with suggestions on the colors to use- and then she played with various ratios.

We are excited to share her results with you.

Aimée’s growth rulers are beautiful and all handmade. Even selecting the grade of the wood, Aimée is very particular! She hones out the back to insert the brackets so that they can lay flush onto your walls too.

Aimée’s growth rulers are perfect for those who:

1. move frequently and want to take their child’s growth milestones with them.
2. would prefer to not write on a door jam or wall

3. want the growth milestones to be documented permanently.

Over time while working with Aimée on these colors, she shared her story with me on how she came to making these growth rulers. She chose to leave her full-time job, to help her mom care for her ailing grandmother. Aimée created a business called “Posh Creations By Aimée and she opened an etsy shop – which is how she supplements her income.

Aimée also has a Facebook page HERE.

And Aimée is so good at creating custom colors- if you have a specific need-get in touch with here since I am sure she will accommodate you. : )
