Annie Sloan - our new BFF

We are soooo excited to start using Annie Sloan paint!  We have always been happy with our final product, but we are excited to get our hands dirty with this fantastic paint and see the difference in our end result.

Finn And Stella

Oooooh, Finn and Stella (aka Dame Gourmet) was so much fun to work on!  I love the names of the sweet littles that have graced this piece though I have, in my head, named her Dame Gourmet because she is so elegant and delightful!  We love that the mama who ordered this piece wanted it to fit in to the main part of their house.  It was a bit of a branch out for us since it was black and one member of the team decided to abandon the other for the vast expanses of Alaska. (I kid, I kid).  Not to worry though, she came back just in time to smash the spoon and give me some tips on doing it myself.  Next time I will be better prepared :-).  I have to admit, I am also not a seamstress, so I enlisted my mother in law to sew the curtain - thanks Cindy!  It truly was a village effort.

Chalkboard

Love the shiny bowl!

We loved the fabric so much we made a magnetic clipboard

The coils kept disappearing into the piece, so they got a 'hot' treatment with some red

What do you think - different for GG huh?!
