I have been playing in my studio mixing paint colors.It seems like pink is a favorite color with my totes lately so I decided to paint one more tote in pink.
I used what I already had on hand which was Annie Sloan Antoinette and Old Ochre.
And just for fun I added Miss Mustard Seeds Milk paint in Tricycle.
I mentioned before that I like to take chances and experiment when I paint, never really knowing what color I will end up with.
Yes I mixed chalk paint and milk paint.
Not sure if this is recommended but I am a rebel 😉
I think this is my favorite so far,I may enjoy this one for a bit before it ends up in the shop.
After I painted this I decided to try Miss Mustard Seeds white wax on this too.
I love how soft the color looks when you use the wax,sort of a pretty glow.
This really looks pretty in the center of my table,and I am enjoying these gorgeous roses.

Very recently I came across four pairs of Rachel Ashwell curtains.
They are marked Rachel Ashwell treasures,I think these are from her early line at Target.
The colors have faded perfectly.
These curtains add just a touch of color and give the room a beautiful glow.

You can see I hung my dried rose wreath on that old window.
I shared how I made that sweet wreath HERE.
To hang my wreath I just added a bit of lace and hung it on this window with a tack.
Enjoying this beautiful chippy scale until it sells.
I had found several of these fabric balls while traveling last fall.
I knew I would find the perfect spot for them,well at least for now.
I am ready for spring,are you?
Today I met up with a friend,I have exciting news to share.
If you follow me on Facebook you may have heard.
If not stay tuned I will fill you in tomorrow!
Don’t forget there is still time to link up and join The Scoops Spring Mega Party

I LOVE those curtains, Anne! Soooo pretty – and soooo perfectly faded! 😉 Your dining room is just beautiful with the touches of pink. Oh….and I’ve mixed chalk paint and milk paint before, too — and even added some acrylic to the mix! Works like a charm! It’s what I ended up using on my kitchen shutters because I was low on every single color I needed. So, I just mixed’em all up til the perfect “Prairie Pink” appeared. 🙂

Thank you Laurie,yes I do think that it is a pretty Prairie pink.
So pretty! I love the pink with all the white and those curtains are beautiful!!
Thank you Anne.
Everything looks so beautiful! I love that pink tote! The curtains are lovely too…the Rachel Ashwell Treasures line is actually from Mervyns. I miss that store. Her line there was wonderful!
Thank you Stacy,we did not have a Mervyns store around here so they traveled far.
Oh your little pink tote is adorable! So are your curtains and your dining room is such a pretty place. Love the sun pouring through those curtains.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Thank you Shelia!
Your floral curtains add a nice softness to your dining room, Anne. The scale looks right at home on that table, too. Are you sure you want to sell it? 🙂
Thank you Vickie and no I don’t LOL. I am really enjoying it but that is how it is when you sell things you like.
Your house looks gorgeous! I love the colors and the glow and that tote is perfect. You should make more to sell.
Thank you Kathy.I wish I could make them,but I find pieces to paint like this tote you saw in the post.I will be on the look out to find more.And I may be listing that one soon,just enjoying it for a bit first.
Your dining room is heavenly. Such softness and femininity. I love the shabby chic curtains. Rachel has the most gorgeous fabrics. My favorite in the pink box. That is a piece of art.
Janet

That’s the perfect shade of pink. It screams spring time which is what we all need now.
