Chalk Paint® decorative paint “Painting with Chalk Paint® should always be a pleasure.” Chalk Paint® is Annie Sloan paint. Annie Sloan developed her now famous decorative paint, Chalk Paint®, in 1990. Back then, there was no paint available with the properties Annie was looking for, so she decided to develop her own.
She came to choose the name “Chalk Paint” because it was suggestive of its very matte—almost chalky—finish. Chalk Paint® is different. It is not simply paint with chalk added to it. Chalk Paint® is a non-toxic, water-based paint that is lead-free, EG-free, odour-free and has very low volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Chalk Paint® sticks to just about any surface (wood, concrete, metal, matte plastic, varnished or painted surfaces, etc.) with no priming or sanding required. Annie Sloan has chosen her palette of colors carefully. Swatches: click to view details Search For Retailers For stockists outside of our territory please check AnnieSloan.com.

It may seem like a no-brainer for some, but coming up with a carefully curated display can also be a challenge. It usually takes me several days to come up with an arrangement I like- but I've put together a few helpful tips that I use. 1.PICK A COLOR PALETTE: Select a few colors to work with - and include a heavy dose of black, white or grey and gold or silver. It doesn't have to match your existing decor perfectly but it should tie in with at least one color. Pick a color family, like oranges and pinks and work with whites and gold tones - or go with bright blue, pink, teal and add gray and white accents.
You can also work with mostly neutrals (as seen in step #4) and just add a small pop of color! Images clockwise from top left: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Image: Jon & Tyke's Modern Cabin. Little Green Notebook: Black Walls in Our Bedroom. There are four bedrooms in the new house. Two on the garden level and then two more on the floor above the living room/dining room/kitchen. It made sense for us to be on the same floor as the girls (who will all be sharing a room for the next couple years at least).
The bedrooms on the garden level are pretty large and equally sized, but we decided to use that floor as my office (since that floor has an outside entrance) and the other bedroom on that level will be my sister Heather's, who's living with us currently. The upstairs bedrooms share a bigger, nicer bathroom, which is good, but one of the bedrooms is majorly smaller than the other. There wasn't even really a choice for us - it makes way more sense for Michael and I to take the small bedroom and to let the girls have the huge 20x15 bedroom. That way there is plenty of room for them to spread out and play. Hopefully the toys will stay mostly upstairs in their room!
So our little 'master' bedroom (ha!) Lonny Elle Decor. The Color Wheel: Your Guide to Choosing Perfect Paint Schemes. The color wheel is a basic tool for decorating, especially for beginners. It's your guide to choosing color schemes that work. Here are the basics and most common strategies, along with tips on how to navigate the wheel to get the perfect paint job. First, a refresher on the basics: The classic color wheel is made up of 12 different hues. One half is considered cool colors, and the other contains warmer hues. Primary colors are colors in their own right and can’t be created by mixing other colors.
Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors to get either purple, green or orange. Tertiary colors come from mixing one primary color with one adjacent secondary color. More advanced color wheels (such as this fancy pants one from Adobe) give a much larger range of colors than the first examples above — both in terms of the number of hues (as you circle around the wheel), and in terms of saturation (colors become less so as you move toward the center). Shades come from adding black.

DIY: Antiqued Mirror (2.0 Version) One of the first projects I did in the house was paint out the little kitchen desk area, remember that? The cabinet doors had clear glass panes and I decided to make the glass look like antiqued mirror using Looking Glass spray paint and a little bit of watered down vinegar. I was pretty happy with the result, but knew I could do better with my second chance - the big cabinet doors on the corner hutch cabinets. I tackled those doors recently and I LOVE the way they turned out! It looks so much more like real antiqued mercury glass mirrors. Here's how I did it: After taking down the doors and taping off the frame (on just the back side), I mixed a bowl of about one part water to one part white vinegar. I used one full can of Looking Glass spray paint for four large cabinet doors, but I was really shaking that can toward the end!
First thing, put down that windex! I much prefer the contrast in my 2.0 version. Stuff on Pinterest. Mod Podged Notebooks.
