We closed our store so Janet could retire on Saturday, April 14, 2018.<br />
<br />
We are in the store this week -- April 16-18 -- from 10 am to 2 pm -- if we still have items you may need. We are working on packing up the rest of the store, meeting customers who reserved items and generally cleaning up.<br />
<br />
You are welcome to stop by and visit us and purchase remaining products through Wednesday! We will be happy to take a break and chat with you!<br />
<br />
Once again, thank you for your patronage over the years!The Vintage Iowanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11077493203028239432noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614733740323944900.post-83775360095504213682018-04-04T15:09:00.001-07:002018-04-04T15:09:15.383-07:00TLC Vintage Customer Appreciation Days!Announcing <b>Customer Appreciation Days</b> at TLC Vintage Collection, <b>Friday and Saturday, April 13 and 14</b>. With just 8 business days left before we close our doors, we thought an appropriate thank you to our customers -- new ones and those that have been with us since we started in 2011 -- would be to throw a little party!<br />
<br />
Come and enjoy some <b><u>treats</u></b> from 10 am to 5 pm our final two days of business. <b><u>Door prizes galore! </u>Deals </b>like you have never seen! We will consider all reasonable offers on remaining inventory! Annie Sloan products will be at minimum required distributor prices starting Thursday, April 5. But don't wait until our final two days to purchase your favorite colors. Paint is dwindling on our shelves quickly now so we don't want you to miss out! We are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday -- April 5-8 -- and Monday, Tuesday, Thursday -- of our final week beginning April 10! And then of course our party days, Friday and Saturday, April 13 and 14.<br />

TLC Vintage Collection will begin a store closing sale Thursday, March 1 after six-and-a-half years of business. It has been a wonderful journey but it is time for me, the owner Janet Roewe Piller, to move on to new adventures. We anticipate that our final day will be no later than end of business, Saturday, April 28. The store will close earlier if inventory is depleted. However, we will maintain our workshop schedule through Satuday, April 14.<br />
<br />
With a few exceptions, everything in the store will be at 40 pct discount from listed price, unless marked sale price. The exception will be the Annie Sloan product line, including Chalk Paint, which will remain at our current prices, which are near the distributors required minimum price. If we run low on product, we will place another Chalk Paint and supplies order around April 1 for pre-paid customer needs.<br />
<br />
Our customers who require product to be shipped may continue to shop on line until April 1, when we will close down our website at www.tlcvintagecollection.com. Shipping purchases after that date may be made by calling the store at 515-276-1577.<br />
<br />
Store fixtures will also be for sale at very practical prices. Certain items may be paid for and reserved for collection when the store closes or special arrangement in order to assure shelving and lighting during the closing sale and until our door is locked the final time.<br />
<br />
I cannot thank enough our 6,000 plus customers over the past many years for their patronage, friendship and loyalty. Thank you for sharing your projects with us and for turning to us for instruction, advice and a shared interest in beautifying furniture and your homes. I have learned so much from you and enjoyed the may friends I have made over the years.<br />
<br />
TLC Vintage was fortunate to be the very first retailer of Annie Sloan products in Iowa. We rode the wave of the repurposing and upcycling and shabby chic markets and the enthusiasm for simpler do-it-yourself products that are eco-friendly. Now I can see that this was the perfect meeting of several movements and products. We are seeing a change now on a number of fronts: the very sharp rise in on-line purchasing and home delivery, a decline in the painted furniture movement, increased competition in sectors that we are prohibited from marketing in and a saturation of products in various areas that affect our store.<br />
<br />
Those factors being what they are, it comes down to a business and personal decision. I have many interests and a wonderful family and home. All of those are beckoning to spend more time and energy enjoying and exploring them. Retail is hard -- don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Long weeks, long hours, lots of paperwork, seasonal changes in buying patterns. It is an experience that I thrived on and enjoyed -- like putting together the pieces of an ever-changing jigsaw puzzle.<br />
<br />
We hope to see all of you at the store during the coming weeks to shop for your favorite products or to purchase that perfect vintage piece you have been eyeing for some time. My knowledge, desire to help my customers and passion for the hunt for vintage pieces does NOT get locked away when we turn off the lights and lock the doors the last time. I will be happy to assist you with product questions, where to shop in Iowa and beyond her borders for your favorite product lines or even to paint a custom piece for you. We will be happy to provide you with names of other retailers or share how we have found our one-of-a-kind over the years. Pick up another one of my business cards because my cell phone is readily available for a call from you.<br />
<br />
Thank you, and once again we continue to appreciate your business and friendship.<br />
<br />
All my best, Janet Roewe Piller, owner<br />

So this old gal has been languishing in my garage for a few years! Finally, a difficult winter meant my vehicle had to have shelter. The fainting couch came into the shop with the hopes that under that old amateur upholstery job we would find some carved wood.</div>

Alas! The answer was a resounding NO! And the very old wood was covered in screw and nail holes and things needed to be shored up! Based on the age and dryness of the wood, we believe this to be at least a late 1880s couch. Thanks to our handy Loretta, repairs were made to stabilize the piece and we used one of our favorite products, Wood Icing Textura Paste to fill holes and smooth out the surface. Instead of wood fill, Textura Paste is used as it is so easily sanded smooth. And we didn't stop there with the Wood Icing.</div>

Textura paste was used over a stencil to create a design since we had been disappointed by no wood carving! You apply the paste with a spatula or offset knife as thinly as possible. Then take off the stencil. Allow to dry, then sand off the sharp bits.</div>

Next we applied Old White Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan. We did get some bleed through from the awakened tannins in the wood, but we ignored that because we were going to crackle the paint. So next we applied a coat of Artisan Enhancements Easy Crackle. When it was dry, we painted the piece with a top layer of Coco by Annie Sloan.<br />

Unfortunately, our cracks were very fine, but they are there if you look for them. At one point we thought we would put metallic foil over the Wood Icing, but in the end opted to just distress. We did this because we really like this look with the upholstery Loretta did using Annie Sloan's French Linen and Old White woven linen.<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bundle Up on Savings Sales Event!</span></b></div>
<br />
Baby, It's Cold Outside! Well, it will be very soon, the meteorologist promises... So it is time to Bundle Up on Savings for those post holiday projects! We know you have no or little time to undertake a major project. But with all the cooking and holiday prep, it's an easy time to take inventory of those potential projects just in front of your eyes. Dated kitchen cabinets, dingy woodwork, a piece of furniture that doesn't work with the rest of your decor, even lineoleum or wood floors that are "shop worn" yet sound. Cold winter months -- January through March -- are a great time to undertake those projects. So plan ahead and save at TLC Vintage -- your favorite DIY shop. Storewide savings start now through December. Just take a look!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like any paint project, you need to start with a clean surface. Spray clean with water your pot, then use a scratchy sponge to remove anything that sticks to the surface. Allow to dry, then get painting! Make sure your pot has small holes in the bottom for water run-off to help your plants during rainy weather. A drill works nicely for this. Or hammer some holes in with a thick nail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next is my favorite part. Using a sturdy stencil, I tape it into place, then apply Fine Stone -- which is indoor and outdoor grade -- over the stencil with an offset knife. I make it thicker than the stencil for added depth. It may crack as it dries, and that is okay.<br />

Next, remove the stencil, scrape off excess Fine Stone and put back into your container and stir in -- no waste! Repeat the stenciling according to your own pot design. I like the rough look of the design after it dries. Or you may sand it gently to remove rough edges.</div>

Be sure to clean off the excess Fine Stone, then simply wash off the stencil with warm water while the Fine Stone is still damp. The stencil is totally re-usable again!</div>

Next you can blot and paint with a second paint color. I chose Old White. You might also apply it with a sponge, leaving the original Country Grey visible to varying degrees.</div>

When the paint dried, I took Coco and added a bit of Old White, just to tone it down. I wanted a color to set it off the design a little from the background.</div>

My setting is a bit unique. I had a volunteer cedar that had to come out of the garden, but I had them leave the buttom three-and-a-half feet alone. I drilled a screw through the pot into the trunk for a stand for a pot of flowers. </div>

This blonde dresser was measured time and again over the past couple years by people wanting to use it for a bathroom vanity -- fitting it out with a basin. But it just never happened.<br />
<br />

<br />
So it was time for a new "old" look. Imagine it coming out of a farmhouse basement or attic after years of use and wear. TLC Vintage wanted to go for an authentically chippy look -- random, not too perfect of a paint job. Here's how you can do it...<br />
<br />
First up, clean the piece with dish soap and water, rinse and dry. Next apply a coat of Chalk Paint<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">® Clear Soft Wax, and wipe away the excess. Allow to cure at least a full 24 hours.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">By the time a piece this side is completely painted, it is fine to start the "chipping" process. Or if you don't have time and have to wait a few days to get back to it, that will work just as well. The process is simple and random, but takes a little time. Grab a roll of duct tape and a scraper, which may or may not be necessary.</span><br />

Applying pressure with just your fingers may produce the results you are looking for when you strip the duct tape off. Usually it is best to use four- to five-inch strips one at a time so you can position your chips to look random.<br />

If the chips are too small and you want larger or more decisive looking chips, apply the tape and press down with a scraper. Be careful not to apply the corner of the scraper too hard or you will get linear chipping that looks unnatural.<br />

How much "chipping" to apply depends on you and the look you want to create. Avoid very large chips -- several inches in size or the finish will be too "busy" and not particularly natural.<br />
<br />

Once you have the look to your taste, apply one to two coats of Clear Soft Wax again to seal the painted furniture to protect against further chipping and to create a protective water-resistant finish. As usual, apply wax with a brush then wipe off the excess. Allow 5-25 days for the wax to fully cure, but you can use your piece gently during that time. I like to buff immediately or in a few days if I want a shinier surface.<br />
<br />
In this case, the hardware was also painted and waxed. The wood carved appliques had Dark Soft Wax applied to the crevices to give an aged and dusty look. Once that was done, Brass Gilding Wax was lightly applied with a small brush to give a worn look.<br />

With any old piece that is hand-finished, it is nice to add some personal details. I like to finish and wax drawers inside and out so they are clean for the next owner. Stencils and a pop of color give extra personality. Like many things, it's "in the details!"<br />

Every DIYer goes to reach for the right tool, product or thingee mid-project and -- oops! It's not there. So off to the store for that last minute thing to get the job done. By the time the return trip has been made, time is lost and there's a distraction. Next thing you know, you have been interrupted mid-stride, not to return to the project for hours, days or weeks!<br />
<br />
Been there....done that!<br />
<br />
That's why it's good to have some go-to items on your workbench for those moments we all have. Here is my top ten list of things I cannot live without, ready and at hand after more than five years of daily experience. These are the things we regularly ask each other in our workshop, "Have you seen the ......" (fill in the blank!) Usually someone just used it and not put it back yet in its -- ahem -- assigned spot.<br />
<br />
1) A Dremel with interchangeable tools for sawing and sanding. Why I like it? Small, nice tool box to keep everything organized, electric, versatile.<br />
<br />
2. Any good brand of screwdrivers in a variety of heads and sizes. Why I like it? Some come with a holder you can fix to the wall or bench for easy storage.<br />
<br />
3) An electric staple gun. Why I like it? Easier on your hands than manual ones. Great for simple upholstery jobs, adhering foam board to backs of frames and more!<br />
<br />
4) Natural hemp oil. I use Miss Mustard Seed's. Why I like it? Great to refresh old wood, great resistor for paint when you want a chippy or worn look, refreshes dull metal finishes. Can also be used as a finish over wood or porous paints.<br />
<br />
5) Chalk Paint<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">® decorative paint by Annie Sloan. Why I like it? Goes over almost any surface with no stripping, priming and in most cases sanding. Versatile and no VOC's. Neutral odor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">6) Wood Icing Textura Paste. Why I like it? Great filler for cracks, missing veneer. Once dry, just sand it smooth with the original surrounding surface. Takes paint, stain and glaze beautifully. Can use to build up missing trim and corners. Plus great for decorative finishes to add design.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">7) Shellac. I prefer Zinsser Bulls Eye Clear Shellac -- liquid, not spray. Why I like it? Thin coats stop bleed through of old tanins and stains. Liquid, not spray, as it is more effective and less costly. A little half pint on the bench at all times. Zinsser brand has a longer shelf life.</span><br />
<br />
8) Saw tooth picture hangers with plastic guides. Why I like it? Easy placement, no smashed fingers as the guides hold the nail in place for hammering.<br />
<br />
9) Felt or silicone adhesive pads. Why I like it? You can buy a multi-pack mixture in a variety of sizes and shapes. Great for under decor to stop scratches to table tops, back corners of frames to protect your wall, on feet of chairs and furniture for easy sliding and to stop scratches when moving heavier furniture.<br />
<br />
10) Needle nose pliers. Any brand. Why I like it? This is our most reached for pliers. Remove nails, staples and upholstery tacks. Position nails to save your fingers from getting banged. Great for removing the metal base of light bulbs when the glass breaks off -- be sure to unplug the lamp for safety!<br />
<br />
There are many more go-to products we love. But these will save you time and headaches just keeping them at hand!

the painted shutters and doors of Amsterdam. It works particularly well with
whites and creams and botanical imagery and plants, as well as looking
brilliant with earthy yellows and reds – try teaming it with Primer Red, Arles
and Old Ochre. It’s also makes a great backdrop to cool blues, such as
Provence, Giverny and the purple tones of Emile.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Honfleur is a colour inspired by the rich warm browns found in the rustic
French countryside as well as in Mid-century Modern design. This rich brown is
just what you need to work with bright colours: it looks great next to
Scandinavian Pink, Barcelona Orange, Giverny, Provence, Greek Blue and Antibes
Green. It can also look elegant and classical when paired with pastel Louis
Blue or pretty Antoinette.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

red in it. It is a perfect colour for a modern contemporary palette, and looks
great with bright, warm colours (such as Barcelona Orange and Scandinavian
Pink) and cool neutrals (such as Paloma) as well as greens from the Annie Sloan
range.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today TLC
Vintage Collection is thrilled to introduce our new series of “Make & Take”
workshops. What is Make & Take? More fun and creative ways to learn paint
and product techniques. Instead of working just on practice boards, in each
class you will create one or more pieces of home décor. Plus, during dry times,
we will find time to cover and practice other techniques in the same product
line or combo of products. Sounds great? There’s more. We have done a thorough
research of materials for these workshops and have lowered prices accordingly.
We will continue to offer some technique only workshops that are very popular –
Chalk Paint 101 and Kitchen Cabinets. But we think you will find the new
workshops are a great way to get out with friends and create something
beautiful! See end of this newsletter for our revised and upcoming workshops!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

granite or other counter top samples – to TLC Vintage Collection. With our
swatches of 35 colors mixed with each other 50-50, we can find a color combo
close to what you want to match or complement. While we do not mix colors for
you, you can purchase quarts or mini pots to make your own custom colors. This
is because our paints have clean pigments – no extra black added. So our combos
will always be crisp and reflect exactly the combo of the two or more colors!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

But lately, I've become a little obsessed with crossing brand lines and seeing what combinations of things work well. So we are experimenting so our customers can see different looks can be achieved.<br />
<br />
It is also a couple short weeks until Junk Jubilee Jingles -- that awesome twice a year event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. So we have lots of things we want to prepare and take along. JJJ is all about picking and rust and repurposing. While TLC's bent is more towards vintage furniture and decor that can be blended into today's homes, we do like things to look used and take pride of place in homes when we get finished with them. So enter your classic drum table!<br />
<br />

Someone had already painted over the leather top, long before we found this piece. And the handle faked me out -- until I started working on it, I thought there was a drawer there. Wrong! So how to make this solid, yet battered little piece stand out?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After cleaning the piece with soap and water and a quick rinse, I was ready to go! I also removed the handle and filled the holes, using Wood Icing Texture Paste as a filler. Love it -- it dries and then you sand it smooth....once painted you never know there were holes there.<br />
<br />

<br />
I wanted to dress up that table apron to look carved, so I pulled this border piece from our Efex display. Efex are latex, pliable appliques that can be added to furniture, decor and frames to embelish them to give a carved look. I find them more versatile than wood appliques because they work well with curved or uneven surfaces -- like here where we can curve it around the table. Just apply some Dap Contact Cement (yes, we carry that too!) to both the table and the back of the applique. Let the adhesive tack up for a minute or two, then press into place. I kept working my fingers around the table applying pressure until I was sure all the edges were sticking well. On flat surfaces, I just set a couple heavy books on top until the cement has dried.<br />
<br />
We are going with a winter whites and neutrals for our JJJ booth this year, I mixed up the palest of pale greys with Chalk Paint<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">® by Annie Sloan, using Pure White with an ever so small amount of Graphite. Then I applied two coats. Hint: I like to place my piece upside down on my work table and paint everything I see that way first! It helps you avoid missing spots that are hard to see, once you finally turn the piece upright to complete the process. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The paint covers the Efex beautifully. The top still needed something, so we took a large lace doily stencil from Royal Design Studio -- another of our product lines -- and centered it on the top. We wanted to give the stencil a similar coloring to the table but with more sheen. So I chose to use Pearl Plaster by Artisan Enhancements for my stenciling medium. I tamped it on with a stencil brush like normal and it gave this pearlescent sheen to the design. It looks a darker grey here but in person, it is a sublte shiny almost matching color.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I also lightly brushed, almost dry brushed the Pearl Plaster over the Efex trim and pediment to highlight it. But everything was looking a bit too pristine and new. What's a girl to do? As I got ready to wax the piece with Chalk Paint Clear Soft Wax, I thought I might try Coda Artisan's Aging Dust to dirty up the piece. When clients ask us what this product is, we joke that they should be careful not to get it on themselves -- who needs to age faster! But honestly this product works great to make carved frames have that dusty look in the crevices that you get with old pieces. Well, if it works in crevices, why not all over? And....we were loving it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">So as quickly as we applied the clear wax and wiped away the excess, we sprinkled Aging Dust over the piece as we worked. We did this over a sheet of clean paper, then brushed off the excess with a clean brush, saving it for later use. And no -- we didn't stop with our "carved" apron, we did it on the top and base as well!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">What I specially love about Aging Dust is that when it has dried into the wax and you buff it up, it helps give a wonderful worn sheen.</span><br />

For some reason, Old Grey takes a turn at every garage sale sign peppering the streets on the way to the shop. That's what happened two weeks ago, when having drifted by a garage sale (not of interest, only kids clothing), Old Grey rounded a corner to head to the shop. There on the curb was the rubble of a rehab job -- lots of broken dry wall, bits and pieces of wood and on the far side a cardboard box with the top of a light fixture poking out the top. Old Grey immediately braked, allowing me to hop out and inspect. And there it was -- one of those "can-I-be-this-lucky" moments. And yes, it was!<br />

And the best part, when I tested the lighting, all six light armatures worked! Can't get better than that! So I did a quick light brushing of Old White Chalk Paint<b><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">®</span></b> by Annie Sloan. I dry brushed over the textured parts so the brass showed through.<br />

I suspended the chandelier over my work bench, and used 28 gauge brass wire to string faux pearls from various points. Next I cleaned and rehung the crystals, replacing a few missing ones from my crystal stash and drilling holes in the brass to add a few where none hung before.<br />

<br />
I also dug into my supply of vintage watch faces in two sizes to add to the Timeless theme. Six were hung from the lowest pearl strands.<br />

The final touch on this piece will be to make a ruched sleeve of lace to cloth the wire and chain. I love working on these old chandeliers and giving them a fresh yet vintage look. And we find this one, ultimately Timeless.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today TLC
Vintage Collection is thrilled to introduce our new series of “Make & Take”
workshops. What is Make & Take? More fun and creative ways to learn paint
and product techniques. Instead of working just on practice boards, in each
class you will create one or more pieces of home décor. Plus, during dry times,
we will find time to cover and practice other techniques in the same product
line or combo of products. Sounds great? There’s more. We have done a thorough
research of materials for these workshops and have lowered prices accordingly.
We will continue to offer some technique only workshops that are very popular –
Chalk Paint 101 and Kitchen Cabinets. But we think you will find the new
workshops are a great way to get out with friends and create something
beautiful! See end of this newsletter for our revised and upcoming workshops!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Buy an inexpensive piece of Target, IKEA or other
big box store furniture and have the wet paint instantly separate into a
crocodile skin type pattern? It is the
response of water based Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan to coatings used on many of
these pieces to protect it from scratching, or insects, or even fire
retardants. Oil and water don't mix, and this separation happens often on
inexpensive or imported furniture which has an oily finish or coating. To
create a surface the paint can adhere to, use a good degreaser on a scratchy
sided sponge and clean the piece thoroughly, then wash with soap and water and
rinse. Usually this is enough to remove the oily coating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Chippy Distressed Look - </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One easy, no fuss way to get that chippy distressed loo with
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® is to simply use <b><u>tape</u></b>!
Here’s how. For one color distress down to pre-existing varnished wood or other
paint color: Paint one or two coats of your paint color, watering the second
coat. As soon as the paint is dry (don’t let it cure for hours – you want the
paint to be fresh and soft – but dry), apply masking, packing or even duct tape
to an area you want to distress and appear chippy). Press the tape down firmly,
even running a scraper over it so it adheres well; then rip off the tape.
Depending on the underlying surface, paint will be removed in variable, random
way. If you are distressing between two colors of new paint, make sure the
underlying color has cured overnight before applying the second color. Then the
instructions are the same as above. Wax as usual for your finishing coat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wednesday Open Workshop –</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> People have been lining up for our
newest concept to help you get started with a project or teach you a specific
new technique. Anytime from 10 am to 3 pm, you can prebook as much time as you
think you may need to work in our workshop with our supervision. Projects must
be small – something you can lift with one hand and fit onto the backseat of
your car. You pay just $20 per hour to use our tools and have on-the-project
direction. Paint and paint products you
used will just be charged retail for the amount you use. So you don’t need to
purchase a whole container of paint or decoupage or whatever – just pay for
what you use and not have leftovers you won’t use! Call to book and discuss
time it will take and to be sure your project works for us as well as you!
515-276-1577. If you have a date in mind, call soon so you don’t miss out!<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

don’t think of us as a custom painting stop – but we certainly are. If a piece
can be brought to our shop, we will paint it to order. We charge a reasonable hourly
rate and materials charge. So if you know someone uneasy about undertaking
their own paint job, we will handle it for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Our rule is to never decrease the value of something that is perfect the way it is. We only paint pieces that do not have some intrinsic value on its own. Many older pieces are decrepit or just not that valuable as they stand. TLC Vintage searches for pieces doomed for the landfill or that are so beat up that paint is the best answer. But we cannot always resist a wonderful piece that is beautiful in its own right and is wonderfully priced and just needs a simple repair to be placed in a home where it will be reloved.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlHgr1PZfFjCnjxy9uy3tIIL-zQoKAwcVba_KaObHOzc3D-m5USCHBWQDq1IsmHqyN6Et-uB0HZBdUwmMtCoWXcw4nBOdTd3BYk9u9OKlFsi8fr3ZLBs392Hb75GnhsVGck-wXIi6q38s/s1600/IMG_3280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlHgr1PZfFjCnjxy9uy3tIIL-zQoKAwcVba_KaObHOzc3D-m5USCHBWQDq1IsmHqyN6Et-uB0HZBdUwmMtCoWXcw4nBOdTd3BYk9u9OKlFsi8fr3ZLBs392Hb75GnhsVGck-wXIi6q38s/s320/IMG_3280.JPG" width="313" /></a></div>
<br />
Oh, yes -- she has scars and stains. She was wobbly because the little sliders had been broken off her front legs, and the wood worn down up to an inch on the right side (see the little white stuff at the bottom right foot that we haven't repainted yet?) But with a product we carry exclusively here in Central Iowa -- Wood Icing -- we were able to gradually rebuild that right foot to stabilize her -- and to have the same contours and shape of the original leg! Thin layer after thin layer of textura paste, lightly sanded to even it up. Painted to match the original, it will be hard to see the patch!<br />
<br />
What do we love? Better to ask what not to love? This little green vanity has beautiful flowers and a stool -- not the same style -- that has been married to her lovingly with a needlepoint flowered seat. A match? No, but a charm of its own that says, I'm with her!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And yes, those brighter green stains? A sign that someone left some oily cosmetic container sitting too long, and possibly a coffee or tea cup off to the lower right side, when the mistress of the house was getting ready for her day or primping to go out for an evening on the town! Every piece has a story for you to imagine.<br />
<br />

<br />
And the original little wood dividers, carefully crafted with their scalloped edges -- ready for little pots of rouge, a lipstick, and whatever ladies liked to tidy away a century ago. That center area probably held a wonderful matching hand mirror, brush and comb.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And that mirror! Beveled and cut to perfection -- dimmed a little with time. But perfectly curved to add interest. For there is truly not any other reason than esthetics not to have just placed a square mirror there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And when once ready for the day or evening, everything could be tidied away into their compartments -- the beautiful lid closed. A perfect place to write a thank you note or a love letter or to record in a journal the happenings of the day or night.<br />
<br />
Sometimes we just have to love a piece for its history, the story it shows us, the posterity we have to preserve by leaving well enough alone!The Vintage Iowanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11077493203028239432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614733740323944900.post-87203620075811683762016-08-08T04:59:00.000-07:002016-08-08T04:59:03.734-07:00August 2016 TLC Vintage Collection Newsletter<div class="MsoNormal">

palette is Giverny – a brilliant, crisp, rich blue. It is scheduled to arrive
today, Monday August 8. We are uncertain what time – it depends on the UPS van.
Our initial supply is limited on quarts – a total of 8 available on first-come,
first-served basis. This is due to a backorder at our distributor who did not
anticipate the level of demand from retailers. But who can blame us for being
excited! However, we will have an additional 14 mini pots available for those
with a smaller project. We do not know when more will be made available, but at
least a few weeks from now. As soon as more is available, we will bring it in,
rest assured.</span></div>

here is the scoop on Giverny – pronounced jee- vair-nee. Named after Monet's
home in northern France, this brilliant blue was especially popular in
early twentieth-century interiors. </span><strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Giverny</span></strong> is a bright, cheery,
clean, cool blue that is near the greener range of blues, without any red in
it. It is a perfect colour for a modern contemporary palette, and looks great
with bright, warm colours (such as Barcelona Orange and Scandinavian Pink) and
cool neutrals (such as Paloma) as well as greens from the Annie Sloan range.

village in Northern France where Claude Monet lived and this brilliant blue was
especially popular in early Twentieth Century interiors. This color was
formerly available at one time in Europe under the name Monet Blue. Giverny
will be featured on the cover of the next Annie Sloan book which will be
released later this fall and called “Annie Sloan Paints Everything”</div>

Sloan stockist and also because of the other
brands we carry, we often go to “continuing education” workshops
ourselves? This is so we stay up to date on the latest techniques and tricks to
using all of our products! We want to be able to demonstrate and teach these to
you and be able to answer all your questions. So Loretta and I are off to KC
for a couple days next week to learn even more!</span></div>

new Sanding Pads are for paint distressing only. You should continue to use sanding sponges or
sandpaper when smoothing off raw wood. To clean the pads, soak in a 50-50
solution of Awesome which you can purchase at our store, then rub gently under
water or a stream of water with a vegetable brush. The pads can be used for
paint distressing either wet or dry. Since they are flexible, these are
especially great for distressing rungs and spindles!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Aging CorbelsAt TLC Vintage Collection in Des Moines, we love old, flaking painted things. There's that expression "fake it til you make it," so we did just that -- made a fake! Real aged chippy corbels are harder and harder to find -- especially in volume like our fortunate purchase below a couple years ago. And, certainly you rarely find them at a cost you like! But as stock of those had run out, I leapt at the chance to buy some new ones made of composite material at the Habitat Re-Store.<br />

New Composite Corbel Aged With Various Products<br />
<br />
TLC Vintage Collection has everything needed to age a piece of decor or furniture at its location at 7519 Hickman Rd in Des Moines. So I took one of these corbels back into our open workshop where you can see us transform pieces six days a week, and set to work (ahem, I mean fun! Because it is!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpYynv5c7ZX6C03dzlK8QEPoOeYQeVHHtGC5EX3SQfoNG5Va4VL-aMXZBDn7nx9wCwr2fz5KNigH-71jrgzpHhPOEZ4TzM3nDSb2QvqFiU1KaG5V2gWZ2ONevYoIoy7nsUuWeU7pjIzI4/s1600/IMG_2515.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpYynv5c7ZX6C03dzlK8QEPoOeYQeVHHtGC5EX3SQfoNG5Va4VL-aMXZBDn7nx9wCwr2fz5KNigH-71jrgzpHhPOEZ4TzM3nDSb2QvqFiU1KaG5V2gWZ2ONevYoIoy7nsUuWeU7pjIzI4/s320/IMG_2515.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
After knocking the dust and grime off the corbel, I pulled out a Fissure product made by Wood Icing, a company based in St Louis MO, owned by my good friend Rose Wilde. This product dries clear and will crackle water based paint applied over it. I put the fissure on with an old chip brush, but the brush does clean up with soap and water. To make cracks that don't run up and down, I pounced my brush on it while the fissure is still wet to give a more mosaic pattern of crackle, rather than running in lengths.<br />
<br />

<br />
Next I pulled out one of my favorite stencils by Wood Icing, aspen leaves. I wanted a raised trailing vine look on the highest points of the corbel. So I laid out the stencil, taped it in place and used Wood Icing's Textura Paste applied thinly through the stencil. I moved the stencil around to get that trailing vine look. You lift off the stencil as soon as you have the paste on smooth and thin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is how the vines looked after drying, with rough raised edges. Normally on a piece of furniture or decor, I would then sand off these rough bits with about 150 grit sandpaper. But I want this corbel to look rough -- like it had stood the test of time, so I let it remain rough til later.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now I am ready to paint and enjoy the cracks that will develop. I chose Annie Sloan Chalk Paint<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">®</span> -- my go-to choice for most paint projects! Old White has the aged color that this piece cried for. I put the paint on thickly with one of Annie's great brushes. I made to cover the entire area as I went so I wouldn't need to touch up because the fissure will start activating almost immediately and I didn't want to disturb it.<br />
<br />

<br />
Whoa! Now that is what I am looking for. Cracks that look like a piece has been in the hot and cold of Iowa summers and winters for years!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Next I used Annie Sloans subtle Versailles, a light green and used an artist brush to paint the leaves and stems. I didn't need to be overly careful about where the paint went because our next step after it dried would be to sand it off so the leaves looked worn.<br />

I took some 100 grit sand paper to take off the ridges of the Wood Icing raised relief and to distress the paint.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I used another brand we carry -- Artisan Enhancement's Scumble. Scumble is another name for glaze. Because my paint is porous, a colored glaze will sink in and not give me time to manipulate its look, so I put on what is called a "slip coat" of clear glaze first. I just use any old brush for this but once again, it washes up with hot soapy water. After the slip coat is dry, I added a little Annie Sloan Coco to a small amount of glaze and applied it with a sea sponge, which let me pull off some of the color here and there and leave it darker in some areas. It helps show of the crackle too! (Sorry, but I forgot to take a picture of this!)</div>

Once the scumble is dry, I was done and we have a piece that looks like it has weathered on an old rural farmhouse porch!<br />

I am hoping to find more of these corbels because I only found six together and think it would make an awesome workshop for my customers! Of course, these will be tagged that we "aged" them right at TLC Vintage Collection!<br />

about color mixing on the reverse. Mix your colors when testing out new color
combos right on the map! Clean it easily with soap, water and a sponge! This is
a great add-on item that is a great help if you have leftover bits of paint and
want to create a new color or if you are trying to match a color already in
your curtains, sofa or whatever!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this week or early next! A packet includes three pads of different sanding
grits. Perfect for distressing and can be used wet or dry! They wash up easily
in your sink or in your washing machine.
Since they are flexible – like a thin sponge – they are ideal for
distressing in corners or on spindles. Our first batch sold out within a
week…..so we will put in a large order this time! LOL – you just don’t know in
this business what will be the next hot product!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Keep your Brush ready for action! </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Save your cottage cheese or yoghurt
containers and lids (or similar items). When you have to take a break from
painting, cut a hole the size of the handle of your brush stem in the lid. Put
a small amount – maybe an inch of paint in the container. Push the brush handle
through from the bottom side of the lid, then snap it onto the container with
the brush tips in the paint. This will keep your brush damp and ready to use
when you are done running the kids to lessons or heading out to the grocery
store!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

form!</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Ever have a
brush that a few hairs (or more) get bent out of shape? We do. To fix this,
clean your brush well. While still damp, take some paper towel and fold it to
about a 2 inch width, wrap it around your brush firmly and secure with a ring
of painter’s tape. Hang it to dry and voila! Straight bristles!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ruined because it dries out. Best way to keep it fresh is: 1) Never contaminate
the paint with water, including bacteria on your brush and 2) Keep the rim of
your can clean so the lid fits as tightly as they day your bought it. Use vet
syringes to remove paint from can and place in a disposable or washable bowl
and paint from there. Now your lid will fit tightly into place – give it a
couple taps with a hammer!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
