Our First Chalk Paint© 101 class

It was a amazing first Chalk Paint Decorative Paint © class.
I wanted to show you every step of the way. But I got so carried away teaching I forgot to take any pictures. My daughter Madison helped with the class and she managed to (at the last minute) take at least one.
I could not have asked for a better group of women to hold a first class with. I think I enjoyed it as much as they did. The next class being held at the store is May 11 2013 1:00 to 4:00, I would love to see you all there! 

Repurposed Lamp
I tried my hand at repurposing a lamp this week. I think it came out great what do you think? Harry painted a old brass lamp Graphite, it looked good but I thought maybe I could improve it so I painted it French Linen.
 Then I added some additional thickened and blobbed French Linen paint. 
That was a really fun part. Old White was next.
 Then some Graphite and Aubusson Blue and a finished piece emerged.
I am pretty proud of it. You can stop by the store and take a closer look at it. Please let me know if you are interested on a class on repurposing a old lamp I could schedule one.
