...coastal cottage or lake house chic...Old White and Provence...

...Provence Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan...

is one of our favorite colors...

...here is what Miss Annie says about her Provence...

Provence

Blue green shutters in the South of France are the inspiration for this colour. Set against walls of any of the whites. Provence needs light and bright fabrics with a Mediterranean and seaside feel. Other paint colours that work with Provence also need to have the same freshness and strength. Of course a cupboard painted Provence looks great against a wall of Old White.

...so, here we have combined both Old White and Provence...

...for a fresh whimsical look...

...a bit of chevron on the top...

...fun combination of the two colors...

...English Yellow Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan...we love it!

...here is what Miss Annie says about English Yellow...

This clean, vibrant yellow was popular in 18th century English decoration, most likely influenced by a yellow featured in hand painted Chinese wallpaper and the creation of Chrome Yellow pigment, which was first produced in the 19th century. It was the first non-earthy yellow produced, which made it very expensive at the time. The name of this color was inspired by the popularity of the original color in English drawing rooms. In the 1950s, this color became popular as a strong primrose.

...we think it is high style chic...

...paired with General Finishes Java Gel...

...on the top...

...this gorgeous color has great potential...

...to be mixed with other colors...

...which we LOVE to do at Bloom...

Upscaling with 'Old White' and Java Gel ...we love painting with Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan!

...we loved the lines and detail of this little buffet...

..but it was a little dark and dreary...

...so we started with a first coat of 'Old White'...

...not wanting to cover all of the dark...

...so the cute detail on the drawers would pop...

...and then a light second coat of old white..

...still leaving some dark showing through...

...showcasing the sweet details...

...a little more distressing...

...and we are loving the result...

...General Finishes Java Gel Stain...

...gave the top a nice finish...

...to contrast with our 'Old White'...

...finally it is all done and dry...

...and a lovely addition to the front room...

...of Bloom in Boulder City...

...do you like the upscale look?...

...painting this piece was so easy with Annie Sloan paint...

...everyone has fallen in love with it...

...we knew it wouldn't stay around long...

...and just as we suspected...

...it left the shop yesterday...

...purchased as a birthday gift...

...for one very happy gal!...

...we will miss it...

...but already there is a new piece in its place...

...you need to come in and check it out...

...and now we want to tell you about two brand new workshops...
