Hi, Do you use any retarders along with acrylic to increase the drying time for blending colors? Or is it only Acrylic mixed with water?

I LOVE the room. I am in awe that all of the bedding was handmade! It gives me courage to work on a few furniture painting projects. Also, is it weird that I am seriously giddy, excited for you guys?

DO NOT PUT UP POSTERS. It makes a room look really cluttered and disorganized. Get a vase and put in it artificial flowers. Decorate room with ordainments. Makes room more teenager. I'm 16 and thats my room. Also get a older bedspread. Make sure it matches walls. It depends what you like. Silk bedspreads are amazing, I recommend one.
Hope I helped

There are quite a few ragging techniques, one you paint the wall usually a darker color then the second color you add glaze to so you have more time to work the paint, it is usually a 50/50 mix of glaze to paint, but not always…when the first coat of paint is dry you apply the glaze and paint mix then you can use a blotting technique with the rag to add depth and high lite to the paint, if the right colors are used you can almost get it to look like leather.
The other technique you paint the walls and apply the glaze get a decent size rag and start at the top of the wall and literally roll the rag down from the ceiling to the floor. You can also use wadded up newspapers on the glaze using the blotting technique, or comb it for the grass cloth technique that has already been mentioned. Start in a small area and experiment, if you don't like the results with the glaze you can wipe it off with a damp sponge and water and try something different.

Hey Monica,
I love love love your dresser…I saw it on Young House Love. I've got a couple of furniture-painting projects in mind and I was wondering where you got the great dresser handles…They look fabulous with the green. Also, how did you know what would look good with the green? Thanks!

I think any of the pale shades would be fine for Shabby Chic.
Usually the white is distressed, but I've seen ivory as well used in this decor. When I think of Shabby Chic, I think of roses. A pale pink or a true soft pink (not hot pink or bubble-gum pink) would be fine. Pale sky blues or even soft turquoise-y colors should work. I have seen furniture distressed with a cobalt blue underneath, with a little showing through.
You might try Rachel Ashwell's books for specific colors. You could look at magazines and see if the paint colors are given. They sometimes are for make-overs, and DIY projects.

OK Here
For Blue- Periwinkle or Powder blue
For Pink- Medium Pink, Tea Rose or Amaranth Pink
For White- Regular White or Magnolia
(BTW these are all shades of the color!)
Hope This Helps!

Anthropologically speaking, TFN is correct. Throughout human history, cultural changes, which includes changes in religion, have occurred as a result of military activity (be it arrow or gun) and the diffusion of cultural influences across trading networks (be they simple trails through the woods, super highways, or airplane routes). One thing we have learned in the last 60 years of our research is that even ancient trade networks dating back thousands of years were far flung, covered great distances, and were vibrant arteries of human activity, communication, and exchange. The notion that Islam, or any other religion, has advanced solely by military conquest is historical and anthropological “fruitcake-speak.” Speaking of which, the Christmas season will be upon us before we know it. Just think of all those tiny pieces of candied fruit mummified in flour with dark rum.Did I ever tell you about my Aunt Delia? I don’t think she was a conservative, but she lived out the modern far right conservative ideal. She was never married and gave no indication one way or another if she was gay. She certainly never engaged in any gay sexual activity. She worked hard all of her adult life in a shoe factory where she got paid minimum wage or barely over it. She breathed high concentrations of organic chemicals all day long in that factory—horrible-smelling place—like living in a bottle of liquid ether. It had no union, and the owners treated her and the other workers like stools in a toilet. She was a Christian and a member of the Church of Christ in her later years. Her poor mother (my grandmother) got sick in 1959 and had no place to go. There was no Medicare or Medicaid at that time, so my Aunt Delia took her into her broken-down rental house and nursed her for quite a long time. Delia endured great suffering. Her bosses at work did not like it because she had to leave her job to do it. With no income coming in, no health insurance, enough savings to buy an 8 oz. Coca-Cola in the old bottle, and her mother’s social security check, she nursed her mother as best she could until other relatives in Indiana were able to take over. She did the same when her similarly poor sister was dying from complications of juvenile onset Type I diabetes. Mother had taught all of the girls how to cook wonderful food, and Aunt Delia was a master at it. She could take a little bit of carefully bought groceries, carve them up, and send them on extraordinary culinary journeys. Mother had also taught the girls how to do sewing, crochet, and knitting—not the kind people do now—the kind people did in 1879. Delia was a master at it. When the husband of one of her sisters died, Delia took her grieving sister into her rental home. She knew how to sew too. While keeping her slave-labor, pay-nearly-nothing job at the shoe factory, Delia and her sister made home-made pattern clothing and other cloth articles on the side for the wealthier women in town. This brought in just enough extra money that the two sisters were able to scrape together the down payment on a cheap little pink house with a huge yard. The house and yard probably cost every bit of $4000 dollars in 1964, and it took quite a bit of time to pay it off. Delia loved that little house. She was always dusting, rearranging her cheap furniture, painting, cooking, sewing, mowing, and gardening. Time passed by. The live-in sister got married again and moved out. The slave-like job came to an end on her 65th birthday. Suddenly, for the first time in her life, she had health insurance (Medicare). What about that? To the best of my recollection, she rarely visited a doctor even after medicare became available. At some point along the line, her roof started leaking and she had to get a new roof. She was really concerned because she only had $5000 in her savings account. Rather than beg, borrow, or steal, she paid for the new roof, which probably left very little in her savings account. Did I mention that she lived out her retirement years on a $400 per month social security check and a little bit of sewing money? That was it. Try that at your house sometime.I lived far away but came home sometimes. When Aunt Delia was 79, I made a trip home and carried her out to dinner. She was so happy that evening because she lived alone and rarely had any company. The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer arrived the next day–out of the blue—no warning—no suspicions—no clear precursor signals. Remember those all-day organic vapors in the shoe factory? Her body was unable to tolerate the chemotherapy, and she died a couple of months later in the cold of January.This brings me back full circle to fruitcake. Every conservative in Texas would have patted Aunt Delia on the back and give her an award for living out a lifetime the way they think she should have—the way they think we all should. Aunt Delia would have none of it. She did not like their kind very much—not tough enough—not true pioneer stock like her. It is easy for far-right conservative fruitcakes to sit back all comfy on their couches, watch their $5000 per week paycheck and investment returns arrive, and tell total strangers how they should live their lives according to the ideological pattern these fruitcakes set for them. Truth is, if most of them had had to live like my Aunt Delia did for a lifetime, they would quite likely be dead, insane, or in prison. You know it, and I know it. My Aunt Delia worked hard all of her life and died poor by nearly anyone’s economic standard. However, I have hope for my Aunt Delia. For all Christians, the Christian fundamentalists believe that there are rewards and denials in heaven based on what you do (or more usually do not do) in this life. Some will sit at the head of the table with Jesus and others at the foot. Fair enough. The Lord said that there would be many mansions in heaven and that he had reserved one for my Aunt Delia—probably pink in color like that cheap little house she loved so much. Always in good taste and a tireless worker for justice, the good Lord declined to mention the high probability that the owners of the shoe factory, Dave Welch, and Don McLeroy may be waiting on my Aunt Delia hand and foot as servants in that mansion for all eternity. Yes, living the good American conservative lifestyle like my Aunt Delia did certainly has its rewards.Fruitcake? My Aunt Delia did not make fruitcake at Christmas. Perhaps the fixings were too expensive. As already mentioned, she was able to send simple foods on great culinary adventures. For example, train your mind on the candy aisle at your local grocery store. Do you remember candy orange slices? There is nothing fruity about them. They are stiffly gelatinous candy, covered in granular sugar and sporting a strong orange taste. My Aunt Delia would slice those up, combine them with other ingredients, and make an orange slice cake as good as or better than any fruitcake on this planet—even better than Christine O’Donnell or Babs Bachman. Although Aunt Delia no longer remains on this Earth, her orange slice cake recipe lives on. If no one at TFN objects, I will leave Aunt Delia’s Orange Slice Cake recipe for all of you on my next post. She loved to share her cooking with other people—even though she had little. Note how orange slice cake loves and shares with its fellow man. Note how fruitcakes refrain from sharing. Living fruitcakes beware. If you use this recipe, Aunt Delia may show up with the ghost of Christmas past on December 24th. Long past? No!!! Your past!!!

don't letting brushes sit in water for a long time dissolve the glue holding the bristles together? that's what i herd anyway, i might be wrong.

Nah, you are not nuts. It is a journey to discover exactly who you are as a painter. I listened to a talk a few months back where the speaker said it takes the first 10 years to develop basic skills (generally by imitating others) then the next 10 you discover your own voice.
There are beautiful paintings at every level of finish and representation, completely abstract, sort of like something, a good likeness, photoreal. Just enjoy the journey.
I do recommend, where possible to attend a classical art school for basic drawing and painting techniques (the craft part of art). It is better to paint abstract because you like it and have control instead of because you have to.

Great ideas for my wall to soon be painted! Thanks
November 13th, 2010 at 2:11 am
I have bright colors like that too in my room. Trim and base boards can def be 1 color. then I made stripes down the walls.
denim can be the curtains or something like that as well as bed spread.
where as you can use the other colors in stripes. or you can have each wall be a different color my brother did that.

I was in Napa on March 26th and I visited your shop. I love it! I purchased a quilt that was displayed on the bench in front of your shop. I'm really excited about being a part of the June show. I am already doing a show in my area on May 22. I live in Chico. I sell shabby chic furniture, fabric (barkcloth), linens, childrens furniture (vintage chairs), and a variety of collectibles. I'm sure I would fit right in to the market items being sold. Please let me know when I should register for the June show…I don't want to lose a spot. Thank you so much, Audrie Fox

Yes you can. But I would look at directions for use on furniture very carefully.
September 26th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Thank you for asking! I usually have blurry idea of what I am going to paint. Sometimes I would get new ideas in the painting process that I would usually test to see how it will work out.
