Annie Sloan Chalk Paint~So Lovely
Annie Sloan & her lil genius creation of "Chalk Paint" (not to be confused with "chalkboard" paint) has taken England by storm and can now be found here in the US.
Why is her paint so special you ask...
No sanding...no primer...so simple & quick to use~just pick up your brush & paint till your lil heart's content:) Yes...I said it...NO NEED to PRIME or PREPARE~you will adore it! My fave at the moment~Paris Grey.
My local stockist is C'est Moi located in Brentwood, Tennessee~a darling lil shop. You can also find your local stockists here.
Happy painting!

Bella Rustica~An Urban Barn Marketplace
“Barn Sales” are popping up all across the country. I think of them as “upscale” tag sales offering a unique shopping experience for antique, vintage and repurposed furnishings & accessories. Tap Root Farm, located here in Franklin Tennessee, will host the premier Bella Rustica Barn Marketplace September 16th & 17th. My sister ~Design Girl Interiors~ & Bella Vintage Designs will have a vendor spot~we would love to meet you there! You will find one of kind lil treasures, live music, good eats, and artisans from all over the country. All proceeds benefit AGAPE Nashville and the children & families they serve.

The Original Restoration Hardware
One of our fave weekend things to do is explore the back country roads of "our" Tennessee. You never know what great lil vintage treasures you may come across;) My hubby & I love to linger around the 8th Avenue Antique District in Nashville~especially Preservation Station~a designers haven full of architectural antiques. I swoon over all the lovely relics as my mind dreams up how I can repurpose and find new lil places for them to be displayed & adored.
It truly is the original Restoration Hardware.

Salvaged Mantle~Oh how divine
Mantles are such gorgeous pieces of architectural salvage~
My vision for our guest retreat...
Bonjour~Welcome to Bella Vintage Designs
~inspired living~
European flea market style inspires me~I lovingly refer to as "vintage luxe". I adore french farmhouse living~an old restyled barn as my lil atelier .
I find my inner passion as I repurpose & restyle found objects that then find their way into the hands of a new place to rest.
My lil atelier~Merci beaucoup ~ Shell
