But, I wanted to jazz it up a little to give it even more appeal.   Even though it was drowning itself in appeal already.   It was a [...]]]> http://www.turnstylevogue.com/2013/05/the-antique-organizer-is-now-vintage-perfection-with-modern-function/feed/ 6 http://www.turnstylevogue.com/2013/05/how-to-change-the-placement-of-hardware-on-furniture/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-to-change-the-placement-of-hardware-on-furniture http://www.turnstylevogue.com/2013/05/how-to-change-the-placement-of-hardware-on-furniture/#comments Tue, 21 May 2013 05:10:03 +0000 admin http://www.turnstylevogue.com/?p=8498 Good morning, Today I have a quick tip for you.

Hope your weekend was a good one! I’ve been working on some new pieces and thought I’d show you a color combination I’m using on one of them that I created by mixing my paint.   The three paints I used were all chalk paint: Chalk paint:  Annie Sloan’s Napoleonic Blue, Paris Grey [...]]]> http://www.turnstylevogue.com/2013/05/paint-mixology-steel-blue/feed/ 3 http://www.turnstylevogue.com/2013/05/furniture-debut-willow/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=furniture-debut-willow http://www.turnstylevogue.com/2013/05/furniture-debut-willow/#comments Fri, 17 May 2013 02:48:31 +0000 admin http://www.turnstylevogue.com/?p=8448 TGIF!  Agree?
