Furniture & Design Inspired by the London 2012 Games


With the London Olympics well underway, we thought it would be fun to highlight furniture and design heralding the Union Jack!

Who knew there were so many fun, interesting pieces out there... we hope you enjoy them as much as we have been.

Reimagined Monday: Summoning Blue Skies



We're doing something a little different today at Reimagined Monday. It has been a bit grey lately, and we're hoping that surrounding ourselves with summery colours might shoo the clouds away and summon blue skies.

Here are some "reimaginings" that have perked us up here at the boutique -- Get your own beachy, seasidey, cottagey look using the lovely array of blue chalk paint by Annie Sloan.


Annie Sloan summery blue chalk paints...
Aubusson Blue

Duck Egg Blue

Greek Blue

Louis Blue

Napoleonic Blue

Provence
 Mix them with Old White for variations of shades, or mix them together for custom colours.

One more breath of fresh air...



Happy painting!


Here is how to share your reimagined paint project at On the Apple Box:

Send us a description of how you used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to get from your vision to the reimagined piece, before and after pictures, pictures of your project in progress or a couple of it in its finished state, and you may be highlighted on our blog!
