If you have been following along on Instagram and Facebook, then you know I have been working in NYC the past 5 months…designing and painting and creating magic with my partner Beth of our firm, fringe. We successfully transformed six signature suites at The Lexington Hotel into experiential stays for guests with personal connections, vignetted moments, and little stories throughout. One of the coolest parts of the project was I was able to source products from vendors I met

We have customers in regularly who want a “wood look” top to their dresser or table, but they’d prefer not to strip and sand the existing finish. I don’t blame them! Aside from the tedious process, using stripper is messy and sometimes toxic plus who knows what kind of finish is on it to begin with. Enter Annie Sloan’s Honfleur: a milk-chocolatey brown that, when directly waxed with Black & Dark waxes, mimics the look of wood grain. This particular table was hand-painted 20+

We love the creative ways our customers use Annie Sloan products! Anna, a lovely local, asked if we could show her how to stencil her stair risers (with Annie Sloan Stencils and Chalk Paint®) to create a more charming, original space. We worked together – using Greek Blue and Napoleonic Blue – to transform her space into something so special and inviting. Pics below! Purchase Greek Blue and Napoleonic Blue here.
