Do you want to “age” the piece you are painting?

Do you want to “age” the piece you are painting?

A fun option is using some Antiquing Powder.

You apply it when the wax is still moist and give you a little gritty look. Check it out! http://shop.thepurplepaintedlady.com/Antiquing-Powder_p_172.html

And remember- we sell Chalk Paint at $34.95 per quart. I ship out every week day all over the US. We offer the lowest flat rate UPS shipping cost so if you are one town away or 10 states away- the shipping cost is the same. We ship same day if your order is placed before our daily UPS pick up. Also- it is my paint sales that keep me in business and allow me to be here to help you. (my shameless, but honest plug) To access our On-Line Store click HERE.

: ) And I will be here to help you as you progress through your future project! And if I do say so myself- we offer the BEST customer service that you will ever experience!

Here is a little post about what I mean when it comes to what you should expect from us- click HERE to read that.

Thanks so much!

Distressing Dark Chalk Paint® Colors- (turning white)

Posted on by

Don’t be afraid the first time you distress or sand Graphite (or any dark Chalk Paint® color) – it will start to look as though it is turning to a white.

That happens a little – BUT after you wipe off the dust and apply the wax- it all disappears and everything is the color it’s suppose to be.

This thought also applies to when you have multiple colors painted on a surface due to decorative painting. They may look as though they are smearing into one another- but again- blow off the dust and then wax. All will be fine.

We have Chalk Paint® available for $34.95 per quart every day, we offer low/flat rate shipping and it always ships same day (as long as Pete, our UPS guy has not come already!)

Color Mixing Tool – Both Chalk Paint® and Miss Mustard Seed Milk Pant

I’ve realized that I will find something totally cool- and then life happens and I forget all about it.

So, in case you are like me- please let me re-introduce you to the Virtual Color Mixing Tool we have HERE available on our website.

If you are trying to customize a Chalk Paint® color to match something you already have- you must try this!

I received a message from one of “Purple Painted Lady” friends named Kellie asking for help to match a color this candlestick:

Chateau Grey Mix The purple Painted Lady Color Candlestick color mixer

So, with one quick click on our website to the virtual Color Mixer- I was able to play around with different Chalk Paint® configurations.

I liked the combination of Chateau Grey mixed with Old White.

Try out our “Color Mixing Tool” via The Purple Painted Lady’s website. It is a fun tool to help guide you to which colors to use. It can mix up to three colors in any increments you want.

Once you are pointed in the right direction, have fun! If you do not have many colors, visit your local stockist and ask if they have a “paint bar.” Once you start creating various hues, you will begin to understand (and for some of you)…not be afraid to do this on your own.

Napoleonic Blue Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan – how to make it a darker Navy (and other colors)

Posted on by
Reply

You know, there is a reason that Annie Sloan chooses to not have 57 colors or 75 colors in her paint spectrum. And that is because Annie knows her colors- and from her palette of selected colors we do offer- you can mix almost any custom color you would like.

One color that is a must to have is Napoleonic Blue Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan. It is a deep true blue that is the color of fresh picked blueberries- perfect for creating the Union Jack flag!

Annie Sloan’s Napoleonic Blue is a wonderful color to have in your painting tool box essentials since it is – by default – a primary color!

Napoleonic Blue is wonderful to mix with other colors, such as:

Peacock Blue Chalk Paint®: Mix 2 Napoleonic Blue + 1 part Antibes Green + 1 part Aubusson Blue

Step 3 custom color peacock

If looking for a darker TRUE navy- try mixing a little Barcelona Orange with Napoleonic Blue:

COLOR MIXER TOOL:
With all of these “color mixing” ideas- I wanted to make sure you knew about the virtual color mixing tool available on our website. With permission from Annie Sloan, the “Mr. Purple Painted Lady” wrote the proprietary program for the Paint Mixer. It is meant to be a playful tool that allows you to get an idea of what a custom color will look like when you mix multiple Chalk Paint® colors. This tool is not an accurate, exact representation of an outcome- but mathematically it is pretty darn close. Your monitor quality does play into that equation. And just remember though- nothing compares to working with your local stockist and playing with real Chalk Paint®. With all that said…I hope you have fun using this Paint Mixer!

Oh, little town of Solvay, New York- it has been nice- but it is time for The Purple Painted Lady’s Syracuse location to expand!

So, with much excitement we would like to announce our new SYRACUSE location will be at 1 W Genesee St Baldwinsville, NY 13027.

from Saturday, July 21st, 2014 through the end of June- our Syracuse location will be moving to a BIGGER, much nicer space located at 1 West Genesee Street in Baldwinsville.

Moving from Solvay to Baldwinsville ASU The Purple Painted Lady

We will be located right at the corner of the main intersection 48 and 370/31.

We are very excited since the whole flock from The Savvy Chick is moving too!

The best part for The purple painted Lady- is that we will now have space to have painted furniture examples on the floor, and a farmhouse table and dedicated space for workshops!

So, because of this, Chalk Paint® and Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint will not be available in Syracuse only from Saturday, 6/21/14 till our opening day on Tuesday, July 1st. Of course- you can always call Trish at 585-750-6056 if in a paint emergency!
