Would you like to learn how to do a paint technique called Frottage? The entire wall along one side of the shop is our vignette wall. This is where we do certain paint techniques, like Frottage. My sons were busy creating a vignette around this Paris Grey dresser, and the next space would be done using a technique called Frottage. First get some newspaper! This technique, Frottage, is from Annie Sloan's newest book, Colour Recipes. The guys did a base layer of Coco Chalk Paint. Very quickly they rolled on a thinned out layer of paint. The first coat was on the wall. We wanted to have a green color and a two tone layer, so we started with Coco Chalk Paint. Then a layer of Chateau Grey Chalk Paint was applied. I told Colin to put on gloves as I thought it was going to be really messy, however it was not. So you don't need gloves to do this! While the Chateau Grey was wet Justin took sheets of crinkled newspaper and rubbed it all over and then pulled it off. The paper pulls off some of the paint revealing the under layer. It was a quick and easy technique that gives a rustic look~just what we were looking for! This is how it came out after we added the furniture and some accessories. Justin kept adding pieces until he got the Vintage Library look he wanted. How about putting old books in a garden planter? We loved how the Gilded antique frame turned into a chalkboard looked against this Frottage wall! We have a fantastic space for our classes and our first Chalk Paint Introductory class was held last Sunday with a sell out group. Learn how to make your pieces more beautiful! Its fun and exciting and I have seen amazing results from my students. (Note: Maison Decor is no longer open for business)

Rembrandt Van Rijn : Christ In The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee (1633) Canvas Gallery Wrapped Giclee Wall Art Print Rembrandt Van Rijn's ''Christ In The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee'' canvas print. Types: ➤Archival Paper Print (rolled) ➤Canvas Print, Gallery wrapped (mirrored edges) on 2cm depth pine wooden frame (stretched), rolled in a tube, or framed (wood floater frame). Options: ➤Archival Paper Print (rolled) ➤Rolled Canvas Print ➤Stretched and Ready to Hang 1 Panel Canvas Print ➤Stretched and Ready to Hang 3 Panel Canvas Print ➤Canvas in Black, Brown or White Wood Floating Frame (2'' | 5cm thick) ★★★WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A ROLLED CANVAS PRINT AND AN ARCHIVAL PAPER PRINT? ★★★ Whereas our canvas prints come with that typical characteristic texture own to canvas, our archival paper prints come on cotton rag paper without texture. A rolled canvas print is normally stretched on wood stretcher bars, whereas archival paper prints are not. Additionally, a stretched canvas can be framed, but it doesn't need to be. Thus, our rolled canvas prints come in their advertized size + mirrored edges by default for easy stretching. Prefer a cut to size rolled canvas print instead, because you want to frame it in a traditional fine art frame behind glass? Then just type ''cut to size'' in our personalization box (listing top right ''add your personalization''). Note that our rolled canvas prints do not come with stretcher bars or frames. Either take it to your local framer, or stretch/frame it yourself. Other sizes than listed in our drop-down menu available upon request! Have something in mind that you don't see in our shop?

Hitting the wall in a marathon is nearly inevitable. These 10 tips will help you overcome the marathon wall and hit your goals.
This topic is something I've wanted to cover for a while now. It is especially beneficial for beginner embroiderers who are currently exploring long and short stitching and needlepainting. So, today's topic is actually not just “using long and short stitch as a filler”. I mean, we all know that it can be used as one, right? And we all know the main “how's” of using it as a filler: outline the shape and fill with long and short stitches. In fact, the main point that I wanted to speak about today is using long and short stitching to fill a curvy/wavy shape. Or, in other words, a shape where the direction of your stitches has to change slightly. This wording, however, is a bit too heavy for a headline and I just don't know how to phrase it better, haha. Anyway. Why is this topic important? The main problem here is that long and short stitching consists of straight stitches. And one of the characteristics of stitches is that you can't really bend or curl them. Most of the time, it is a straight line between point A and point B that we use in a lot of various ways. It is not a brush stroke that you can lay in any curvy or wavy way you want. So how can you use these straight stitches to not only fill a shape but keep the “flow” of that shape? Actually, the main trick here is the same as with stem stitch. If you go to the Stem StitchCrash Course and take a look at the last point, you will see there what I said about using it for curves. Stem stitch is a straight line, so that's why the secret is the same. Make your stitches shorter! You can start with guiding stitches, as usual, keeping their direction aligned with the shape's outline. After filling the empty space between the stitches, you can start with the second row of stitches. Now, if I'm completely honest, I lose the sense of which stitch is short and which one is long, quite soon after that. So I just vary the length of my stitches and vary the place where they come out from the previous row. If one stitch started lower, I start the other stitch higher, and so on. This is the longest that I allow myself to make the stitches in such cases. The shape didn't reach the main curve yet and is still pretty straight, so I can slack off a little bit and make the stitches longer. Also, don't forget to keep your stitching dense. Currently, there are definitely more stitches here than there were at the beginning point. As you reach the curve, make your stitches shorter. Look carefully at my stitches here and imagine that they are continued longer and longer. If you do that, you will realize that they actually would bump into the outline. That's why we make them shorter. The other rows of stitches will soften the “straightness” and will create an illusion of bending stitches. We are on a finishing line here. The shape is narrowing down and the number of stitches we use to fill it at this part is decreasing, but we still need to maintain the same density. And so, this is the final result. By the way, this is a new design I'm currently working on! It is going to feature a lot of long and short stitch and color blending so it is going to be a GREAT practice for you! :) Hope this post was helpful!

I LOVE landscaping and at one point in my life I remember looking into landscape architecture because it was so interesting to me. I quickly realized I wasn't THAT passionate about it but I still appreciate a beautiful garden when I see one. :) I wanted an ivy wall at our past 2 homes, but we just didn't have enough sunlight for it. When we moved into our current home, I immediately wanted to try it out on a small section that we would see through our large living room windows! The original owne
