Many thanks!

Today a friend took time away from his own business to help me start mine, and I am so thankful for his expertise and time! I am trying to create interesting "walls" in my space that I have rented in The Painted Mill that will define my space, provide vertical hanging space as well as be pleasing to the eye.

The Mill is such an interesting building. If you like old buildings and are fascinated by how things were built before power tools, you should definitely come and check it out. We open the last weekend in April. I hope you will be impressed with my "walls"! 

A huge Thank You to Glenn and Lisa Doering. You Rock!

Quaint With Paint's new project

Quaint With Paint is working on this vintage table. It is painted in Annie Sloan Old White and Maison Blanche Wrought Iron. It is turning out great!

GO USA!


Quaint With Paint wanted to take a minute and show some love for the Olympics! Don't you love hearing the stories behind the athletes? It is what makes the Olympics so special.

 My husband (I didn't go) went to a fundraiser for the US bobsled team in Washington awhile back. There he got to meet the athletes and others and make a financial contribution to their success. We are the only country in the world whose athletes rely solely on private support. He brought me home a goodie bag which included these mittens I have been wearing this winter and a jacket. 

Congratulations go out to Elana Meyers who won silver. Elana was a softball player who wanted to be in the Olympics. When softball was taken out of the Olympics, she decided to try bobsled because her goal was to be an Olympian. Way to go!


Anyway, on the business front, Quaint With Paint would like to announce that it will be renting space in The Painted Mill Vintage Tag Sale opening April 2014 in Fallston, Maryland. Until this you would have to travel to Frederick to find something of this nature. Myself and all of the vendors are very excited! I look forward to seeing you there! 

Quaint With Paint will be working on an Olympic level until then! If you haven't given us a like on Facebook, a follow on Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram, what are you waiting for?

Stay tuned for pictures of some fantastic pieces!

Traveling!

Anyone else visiting colleges with their children? I went with my son Andrew to Virginia Tech. He wants to be an engineer and he wants to participate in ROTC. Virginia Tech offers a stay with a cadet program. If your child is interested, I would recommend it. It is very informative and a great way to see what it's all about.  What a beautiful campus and a great information session and tour. 

Secretary finished!

Here is Quaint With Paint's cherry secretary finished in Annie Sloan French Linen and in its forever home.
