Someone "out there" just asked me about Paris Grey and if I had any piece of furniture I could show them with it applied. Here is a sweet piece painted by
The Bella Bungalow for The Retreat Vintage Market. Paris Grey is a soothing and "sassy" color. Grey is a cooling color and a color that goes with almost any tone with the exception of most brown. I'm not saying it can't go with brown, but you have to have the right mixture of tones for it to not look dowdy.

A lot of activity will be happening today through next Thursday. Wild Women of the Wine Country is tomorrow and a great event to just let ones hair down. Monday I join three new Stockists, Alison from OR, Lynn from KS and Michelle from IL. for dinner and on Tuesday I will be certifying them to give Annie Sloan Workshops. I welcome these talented ladies and look forward to spending time with them in CA.
Next week I join Vicki, Northern California Stockist for the first of four Paint 'n' Wine Country Annie Sloan workshop events.
