On Saturday I went to a wonderful boutique called "An Affaire at the Barn" by Pikin' Chixs in Menifee, CA. What fun! I hope to be a vender there in February! It was held in a beautiful huge old barn filled with talented crafters.
Sharon did a wonderful job pulling this "Affarie" together!

There is where I found my new love, Chalk Paint by Annie Solan!
A darling So. CA Stockist Andrea Young of Chalk Paint showed me that I cannot live without it (she didn't say that)! She is my new best friend! YOU CAN BUY CHALK PAINT FROM HER. (click on Andrea's name).
I learned that you DO NOT have to prime or prepare, just clean your piece of furniture and start painting! My kind of thing, EASY! After you paint, you put Soft Wax on it, then buff it to a nice sheen. I am hooked.

I bought this wall adornment at the Barn!
It is made out of a old headboard. It is large and very heavy. It is 5 feet x 2 1/2 feet. It will go on my dining room wall. I will take a pic of it when hubby hangs it this week!
It is painted with Chalk Paint! :0

The Chalk Paint comes in so many beautiful colors!
I have lots of plans for the house! LOL!

Oh how I wish I had known about this "affaire" as I was a fishing widow all weekend long! I could have zipped on down to Menifee in a heart beat. I have been SO wanting to try this paint! Where can I get some?
I am dying to try some chalk paint. It's on my list of things to get soon. I'm going to use it on the mismatched furniture in our bedroom.

Oh no...now I need to find some of that glorious stuff! Just about to strip a 100-year-old pantry cupboard I got at a yard sale...that would be perfect!
Hope you're having a beautiful fall day, my friend!

Your wall piece looks great! Love that color.
Oh, I really must try this paint! Everyone is talking about it. Being a retired painting contractor, makes it hard not to prime everything...but I love not having to do that....come on chalk paint!!
I've seen such beautiful results with this paint! I can't wait to try it! ♥
I'm hooked too!
Maryjane- What a great piece. I have chalk paint but have not had time to paint yet..ugh...can't wait to try it~ xo Diana

Once I found out about chalkpaint a few months ago I have been a goner, that is all I will use on my furniture now.......hope you stop by and see the post of my booth you can see all the annie sloan colors in my furniture! I love your piece with the headboard, my friend barb made me a headboard for a coatrack that is a post or two back on my blog as well, yours is amazing!

You and your blog provide me with the best, most creative ideas ever! Thank you for this one and all the ones I receive here...except the "buttermilk pie" recipe. That was not a good thing for me to receive here. I can't wait to try the recipe and yet, part of me thinks I should hide the recipe:)
Happy day!

HI Maryjane,
I heard of the chalk paint but I haven't tired it yet.
I LOVE that headboard you bought! It will look great in your home!
Tell Don to hurry it up and put it up!! LOL
Hugs, Ann
Oh, your wall plaque is gorgeous! I'm so inspired. I have an old headboard that we're not using and now I know just what to do with it. Thanks for sharing!
What a darling project! The chalk paint really highlights the gorgeous details:>)
I so want to try this paint. I have lots of projects that need painting.
Love what you bought.
Chalk paint is new to me. I look forward to checking it out.
Awesome piece!
I have not tried the paint other than the black kind.
I have not tried it yet myself, but keep hearing rave reviews from fellow bloggers! So I've been looking around my house for something I can paint! Maybe my daughter's bedroom furniture.
What a find! Love that piece! :) This is my first pregnancy so I am nervous so sure! lol I'll be thinking of your daughter too! Congrats again!
Chalk paint on wishlist...check!
Love it!
