Today felt like a never ending day {Saturday} BUT I had a wonderful set of ladies in my 1st Advanced Chalk Paint class and it was soo much fun! i actually can’t wait to do another one. i actually took a little time and played on my own sample board. My favorite part of doing the classes is seeing all of the color combo’s folks use. I find the unintentional color mixes are usually the best ones! today a couple I loved
– napoleon blue w/ primer red wash/dry brush
– emile & olive together with wash/dry brushing
– old violet & emile
I also stocked up the shop with furniture & some sale items so swing by Stifel & Capra {260 west broad falls church} and find a treasure or two!
In the mix of all this craziness that is my life me husband is attempting to get me on board with renovating/building onto our home {like I don’t have enough going on!}. So I looked at the Architect sketches today and of course immediately had a strong opinion. My hubby’s response, well sketch out what you were thinking! So I guess in my spare time I’ll be drawing up some sketches of what is in my mind for our ideal home renovation. This is all a bit of a pipe dream but I was interested in at least looking into the cost since our house is so tiny:-).
I’m off to bed to work on sketches for the house and 3 little boys rooms for a design client in Arlington. I love this part of my job!
The front of the house I liked…its how addition and use of space I didn’t love 🙂
Have you ever seen primer red with chateau gray over it and then sanded? I’m thinking of this combo for a buffet. What do you think?
I haven’t done that color combo but it sounds awesome!!! please sent me a pic if you do it:-) kelly@stylishpatina.com
Hi, Kelly
I love this idea of creating new color combo. I love the sound of the blue and red. I’ll have to give that a try.

Hi Kelly, it was lovely meeting you in person at the advanced class. And I enjoyed the class too, even in a rather jetlagged from intense travel state ! Best of luck with your work, it is great and a good inspiration as I get ready for launch of our business in South Australia 🙂 Cheers,

[…] the options as we speak. If you read the blog you know I wasn’t super thrilled with the 1st draft of the plans for our renovations. We have been through a lot since we bought our little house about 3 1/2 […]
