Chevron Inspiration

Chevron Inspiration for Monday.

1. I love the beachy feel of this table from blue hydrangea furniture.

2. Two tone wood chevron!!! Perfect pairing by thats not junk.

3. I will be recreating this from michaela noelle designs.

4. I never would have thought to do chalk board chevron. Thanks in my own style.

5. I love the mix of modern and vintage. kfd designs nailed this.

6. I think I'm going to do this on my dining room rug. Thanks pneumatic addict for the inspiration.

Have I inspired you to paint chevron stripes?

Thanks for stopping in, and take care.

Apron String & Shutter Grey

Hello. Happy Sunday! I can't believe the weekend is coming to an end. It has been so cold here the last few days, - 50 C yesterday morning. OMG is right. It is way to cold to go anywhere or do anything. This gal has resorted to painting and cleaning.

I posted a peek at this piece yesterday. I'll mention again how I have a love/hate relationship with milk paint. If anyone has any suggestions, please forward them. I poured at least a 1:1 ratio of bonding agent, and the darn paint just kept falling off! In the end I really love the shabby chic look and this has a truly aged look to it ( minus the chevron stripes).

I'm still learning to work with Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint. Which isn't as fool proof as the Chalk Paint. I guess perfection comes with practice. Thank goodness it's not on a clients piece.

 I chose Shutter Grey and Apron Strings. I'm loving grey and coral still.

Hope you liked my night stand. Thanks for stopping by, and take care.

Don't forget to catch my Chic By You Link Party, launches Monday's.

Party Time!

Pinterest Inspiration Thursday #3

Hello. Hope all my Canadian friends had a fantastic Family Day long weekend! We're back from our ski trip. While we were in Fernie, it dumped over 12 inches of snow. For us skiers, that is {EPIC}! Unfortunately with grocery shopping and laundry when we came back, I have not been able to start any projects. I was able to Pin during our 24 hours of driving! Yay! (at least I stayed awake, I usually fall asleep just out of the drive)

First Pin, which is going to be a near future project.

I love chevron stripes!! Now to find the perfect muse.

Another future project...I'm thinking a towel holder at the lake. Maybe in a nice ocean turquoise? our local Re-Store has old bi-folds cheap. 

Also for the lake, an outdoor chandelier with solar lights. How cool? I want to take an old umbrella holder ,and put a plant holder hook at the end. Voila! and I could have a gorgeous chandelier over our picnic table. Or maybe by the campfire? Check out leahglass, for more.

These are my favs for the week. Hopefully you have found some inspiration.

Thank you and take care.
