Though most I recently have been painting dinosaurs (yes, life-size, moving dinosaurs), I am enamored with faux, furniture and Designamour! Last month I rescued several old pieces of the furniture from the side of the road and want to give them new life.
Wouldn’t some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Country Grey with Chateau Grey accents be gorgeous on a lovely old Armoire?
(Or maybe Versaille with Olive…)

This Christmas I am giving my niece (who is growing up WAY too fast) a redesign/repaint of her bedroom in the Paris Apartment design style. Don’t you think I absolutely have to have the Allover Pattern Stencils: Springtime in Paris Set?
Thanks for the constant and wonderful inspiration!!
