<div style="text-align: center;">
here it is today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fresh and gray and subtle and oh so neutral.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so, i want to answer some questions that i am often asked about how to get this effect….</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the original 1970's stone and mortar was simply dusted off before i painted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">i did<i> NOT </i>prime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">i did<i> NOT</i> sand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">or even clean the stone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">i just dusted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i applied a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of <b><span style="font-size: large;">Annie Sloan Paris Gray Chalk Paint</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a <i><b>"wash"</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">is simply a paint that has been diluted with water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">i used very little,<i> i mean very little paint</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">i did not measure but i am guessing it was about</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup of paint to 3/4 cup of water.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i used an old paint brush to wash this over the stone<i> and</i> the mortar….letting it soak into the stone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i let this first layer dry…but believe me it did not take long…perhaps 15 minutes…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then i applied another wash to get rid of more brown tones that were peaking through.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">next, I added more dimension and depth to the stones by</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">using a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">dry brush technique.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i used the same Paris Gray paint mixed with some ordinary white house paint that i had on hand…<i>any </i>latex house paint will work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">"<b>dry brush</b>"</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">means to work your paint down into the brush</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and then wipe off most of the paint onto a newspaper or rag…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so that there is <i>very little paint</i> on the ends of the brush. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">your brush will be rather well, dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
use the side of this "dry brush" to lightly hit the raised parts of the stone…so as to highlight parts of the stone….i used a rag to wipe and dab off any visible brush strokes as i went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that's it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i painted my fireplace over two years ago and it has held up fine even with occasional use of the fireplace. the heat from the fire has not affected the paint at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have no regrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">regrets are a waste of time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i sure hope this helps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>be brave.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>paint your fireplace !</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><strong>What is Folk & Folly?</strong> Folk & Folly, sponsored by Social Marmalade, is a creative and collaborative design showcase presented as part of the “Dream Team” events at the City Farmhouse Pop-Up Show. Folk & Folly will showcase local talent (interior designers, artists, creative directors, photographers, etc.) and the revered qualities that set apart creativity in the Southern milieu: elbow grease, resourcefulness, storytelling, and play.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">A group of selected artists and creative industry professionals will team up with the challenge of creating installations that will generate curiosity and connection, using “found objects” — or more aptly, “picked” items — in the creation. Think “Alice in Wonderland”, “Where the Wild Things Are”, “Avant Garde”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">During the two day event, show attendees will be given the liberty to follow their curiosity into the "lost in time" plantation home of Buddy Killen. Inside they will find a space that captures their attention, inspires them to share what they’ve seen, and engages them into looking further at the individual artists who have creatively presented their “outside the box way of creating and presenting design”. This unique showcase is sure to pleasantly surprise all of those who wander through.</span><br />

<div align="center">
located on the side of a hill in Bellemeade, just outside of Nashville......</div>
<div align="center">
this garden highlights some of my very favorite plants.</div>
<div align="center">
boxwood, climbing roses and lavender.</div>

<div align="center">
i fell in LOVE with their use of catmint (nepeta).</div>
<div align="center">
like me, the owner loves lavender (who doesn't). catmint is a very good substitute, that grows well here, in our humid and rather stagnant air.</div>
<div align="center">
of course the lavender fragrance isn't there. boo hoo<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">The dogwood is a modern figure of the Passion of Christ. The "legend" has it that the dogwood, which once grew tall and straight, was the source of the wood used for the cross. Jesus had pity on this poor tree used for such an ignoble purpose, and decreed, "Henceforth it shall be slender and bent and twisted and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross ... two long and two short petals. And in the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with red, and in the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns, and all who see it remember ... that it was upon a dogwood tree I was crucified and this tree shall not be mutilated or destroyed, but cherished as a reminder of My death upon the cross."</span></span><br />

<br />
My friend Alice spotted these new born lambies on a nearby farm....right after being born 3 weeks ago....she of course pulled right over to see them closer....my kind of adventurous gal.... <br />
<br />
she also heard they would be moved to another farm very soon (where the grazing would be better)...<br />
so on a very dark, cold, drizzly, muddy and poopy day.... yes, lots of poop.<br />
we traipsed through the fields on this minny farm<br />
and i photographed these sweeties.<br />
<br />
enjoy!<br />

Farmer Franc and his friend Joaquin (both from South Africa and with the most interesting accents)<br />
welcomed us to the mini farm and we are invited back at any time, to any of their farms! yay.<br />
<br />
hopefully it will start warming and greening up around here...<br />
and for sure i will be seeking out these lil babes for more pics.<br />
i can just picture them in a green field with spring daffodils blooming and sunlight streaming from behind...<br />
can you picture it?<br />
<br />
this has been a long winter...<br />
i crave being outdoors more.<br />
spring will be here before we know it.<br />

p.s. do you take yourself on field trips?<br />
yunno, outings to get you away from the house and the job and the computer...<br />
a field trip to refresh your soul and inspire your heart....<br />
like visiting a farm on a cold day, or taking a drive through the country side...or how about heading into the city?<br />
a field trip to take you away from your regular old life...<br />
a field trip to connect you with others...<br />
a field trip to connect you with yourself....<br />
remember<br />
you?<br />
<br />
take yourself on a field trip...<br />
<br />
p.p.s. it turns out that photoshop is an amazing tool for removing poop from a photo...</td></tr>
