I'm not sure if I've ever written a post on the freakin fabulous line of paint that I use!! GASP!! Sure I talk about it but have I ever went into detail about it?! How Rude! I apologise my fans! Sometimes the light bulb takes a while to actually turn on! Grab a coffee or tea this is a long read!
I am in LOVE with van Gogh Fossil Paint!
Question from my eight year old.....do you love it so much you would marry it mom? YES, I would marry it!
I heard about chalk paint about 2-3 years ago. I tried making my own....C'mon everybody tries.....Yes, I bought super fine rock climbing chalk and added it to latex paint. Yes, it gave a chalky type feel but there were still grits to it and I couldn't get the right 'distressed' look that I was after.
I bought Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.....you have to try them all to really see who is the best. I liked the finish, but urgh those slight little grits... and the wax was burning my eyes out toxic smelling to me.
I tried van Gogh Fossil Paint. It was smooth, NO grits whatsoever, and the wax is a beeswax recipe....my work area smelled like honey and my hands felt like I had a manicure, AND it's Canadian!!! The frugalista in me also loved that it was slightly cheaper!
HALT the train...let the world on....I'm in LOVE!
I met the divine Kathy van Gogh and my creative adventure hit a new road! Whoop Whoop!
Here is the color palette for the van Gogh Fossil Paint
HOW FUN right?!
OOhLaLa so colorful!
Should the day come where you get bored of painting your pieces in one to 25 different colors...bahahahahaha...I
have to put out the worst case scenario.......FEAR not van Gogh has a Furniture Make-up Line!
Embossing Plaster.
You can make any piece look incredible with the raised effect of the plaster through a stencil or with elemental stencils to give your piece a Victorian look!
Luminous Eyeshadow
Ahhhh Champagne! This is a champagne colored plaster you can use through a stencil or thinned out to add that elegance to your piece.
Moon Glaze
A silver glaze. Straight up for the metallic like look or through a stencil for that dashing designer wallpaper look! This piece shown is sealed with our dark wax.
We have Antique Glaze too!
This piece was painted in Cashmere Cream and then van Gogh Antique Glazed....great antique look.
We ALSO have a crackle, and a pearl finish, it keeps the color of your piece but with a pearl look to it.Yipeee!
Hang on to your Hats & Blooomers......van Gogh comes out with Limited Edition colors.
This round ME and my colleague Annie from Cougar Chic Decor chose all
the colors! We named them after cocktails...Thank you for the applause!
You might want to grab a tissue....Drool Alert!
CORAL Bellini is such a FUN color we had to do it!
Dark Chocolate Martini...yes please! This is the perfect brown/black.
Mint Julep
I don't have strong enough words for the beauty of this color. I cannot get enough of the mint & gold! DROOL!
Sweet Sage Fizz
The sweetest most comforting green!
Just when you thought you couldn't keep jogging on the spot anymore due to excitement.....
van Gogh Blue Metallic
Go on....run around the block!
Complete show stopper! It turns your pieces into jewellery!
WAIT....there's more....
Crystal Highlights...
Who doesn't LOVE bling on Antlers?!
Or to highlight small details on frames?
AND last but certainly not least.....The van Gogh Liquid Metal Metallic Line
True Metallic's??? DREAMY! These are my favourite things to play with on furniture. I have more pics of you want to see what I've been doing with the metallic's!
I am so EXCITED to share this all with you, and THANKFUL that Kathy van Gogh is always playing with new things to put in the van Gogh Furniture Paintology line!
