Paint to me is part of story telling, whether brush strokes on canvas, transforming walls or giving a new lease on life to a vintage beauty. My mum was an artist, as well as our “in house” home painter, for both walls and hodge podge found furniture. Brushes soaking in the sink were a common sight. I have always loved an artist’s studio. The visual process of storytelling creates a comfort for me. The paints, brushes, vessels of water, all with remnants of past projects by way of drips and drops. Shabby Chic & I are of course known for a hundred shades of white, & to this day a large mass of white is my biggest AHHHH moment. Always angelic and heavenly, never seemingly cold. But where my full palette sits best is nestled within the world of vintage furniture. Texas flea markets has for years now been where I am most successful at finding my beloved palette, shades of white, blue, pink, greys and taupes. I love the history that layers of paint portrays, especially within molding and cracks of vintage furniture, & and how overtime even though the most recently applied layer of paint has the intention of erasing a past life, eventually the past will find its way of revealing itself. And that is often when the real magic unfolds. I love nothing more than finding a piece of vintage furniture with layers of my shabby palette peaking its way in. As I journey through life, I appreciate coming across inspiration for painting ideas. For many years I have been pretty stubborn about only selling authentic painted pieces in my world. However with the scarcity of my palette out in the flea market world I am thrilled to have developed a curated line of paints that can support my aesthetic with the process of painting wood furniture. The Shabby Chic by Rachel Ashwell Chalk & Clay paint has a dry hand due to the clay and chalk ingredients. I chose the palette based on my dream vintage finds over the years of all of the colours I wish I could find a never ending supply of. The paints can be used on their own or they are also designed to layer so the magic of mulit colours can be created through the process of painting furniture. There is of course an art to the process, which may take a little time and practice but is totally achievable. Newly painted pieces can never replace the soul of authentic vintage history, for with that comes love and life. But never the less this special little paint collection is the start to a new history, in a Shabby Chic way. The Shabby Chic by Rachel Ashwell Chalk & Clay paint can be purchased on our website or if you are a retailer and would like to carry the collection please visit: http://rachelashwellshabbychicpaint.com/become-a-retailer/

master bathroom • Hello hello my trusty readers! Before I have a chance to photograph my finished living room (I swear that's coming soon!) I am already full- on in the
Happy Valentine's Day Yes, I know I am late ...but I had to share a few snaps of a wonderful day full of love and happiness. These guys right here have my heart every day of the year. I honestly couldn't ask for a better little family. How I love them so.... And this guy.... he knows what I love, white roses and Reese's! We had a romantic candlelight dinner (you can see it here) and had a few sips of some bubbly. Our first time being totally kid free on Valentine's Day! What a treat! Onto other news....since our oldest moved into a bigger space, we took her plenty of furniture. The Uhaul we rented was packed clear to every crevice! So now, I have been playing with her old room, making it into a guest room. Here's how it's looking... I am trying to figure out what color to paint the walls and of course I need to paint that headboard. We gave our oldest daughter one of the beds and if you'll notice, this bedding came from that bed. I do miss the headboard that I made that was tufted, but it sure does look pretty in her new guest room. I'll be sharing her new place soon. It's so pretty! Thankfully I still have plenty of furniture to fool around with in our home. The whole house is slowly getting small makeovers. The functionality of our home has changed so it sure is fun making it into what works for us now. But it's definitely a slow process. Chairs, Chairs, Chairs! They're everywhere! This little gem loves to show off her bows and having her seated here definitely allows her to shine. We still have this guest room. I had to steal the end table for the other room so I'm thinking about using something else in here. But for now, I'm using the little desk that goes with this little chair that belonged to my Mammaw. I love this room! I have really been slacking with our home. From all of the moving and running to having fun with my sweetie, I finally packed and put away the rest of my Christmas decorations downstairs in our bedroom. I put these little vases of faux flowers on the mantle and now I'm ready for SPRING! As for an update on me, I've lost some more weight from all of the dancing me and my sweetie are doing and my health has been great! And I'm finally fine with my hair being short and black now. I can wear hair extensions if I want long hair again :) Life is really good and I am so very thankful for the blessings God has bestowed on me and my little family. I have to pinch myself sometimes to prove it isn't a dream! I hope y'all are all blessed, loved and happy as I am. His word says what He will do for one, He will do for another! He loves us all!
