this old table

just love these old tables, they have so much life and character
my client and i decided to go with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

and when my client saw the finished results, it was beyond her anticipation!
the table top is done in old white chalk paint® and a touch of dark wax,
the edge and curved legs are done in paris grey® and dark wax
just wait the chairs will be posted soon after the seats are upholstered!

a favorite from 30A FL

one of our favorite vacation spots are the beaches of 30A .
besides relaxing at the beach, the next best thing are all the great shops located along 30A.


the workshop was my latest fun find, artist ginger leigh has a variety of
charming, whimsical artwork that would make a great gift or something to keep for yourself. 

Love these angels hand painted on blocks.

litte toes and feet

 when taking baby or family pictures, don't forget those little feet, whether at thebeach,backyard or taking pictures with a photographer.  they make great photographs alone or in a grouping.

tips for doing yourself~
take pictures in morning or late evening
get creative~ above we used a textured bright blanket
taking a lot of shots at different angles will give a variety, you can always delete the ones that don't work.

some camera's come with computer programs that will allow photo editing and fun tools,
but if you do not have access there are a
 variety that you can use online such as flickr, shutterfly, snapfish and more. 
they also have edit tools to crop, add borders,
black white and sepia options.
