Farmtable Winner & Chef Elaine How we party at Nostalgia

Our farmtable winner, Sarah got married this weekend! Congrats Sarah! And, she gets to take this farmtable to her new family home. We think that's pretty special.

Our farmtable was built by Nostalgia's co-owner, Jamie of Southern Revivals, and her husband. It seats 10 and was finished in using our Milk Paint line. The bottom is done in Ironstone and waxed with our Milk Paint line's Furniture Wax. The top is finished in the line's Hemp Oil. An all natural food-grade oil that's very durable and very safe for your family's table top.

No table is complete without delicious fixins! And our very own Chef Elaine hooked us up with fresh veggie salsa and chips on Friday night, May 3rd, the first night of our Farmtable Viewing Party. Plus, she decked out our table with fresh flowers and veggies from the garden.

Then on Saturday morning we were treated with fresh strawberries and candied nuts from the Farmer's Market and Chef had baked up some delicious Vidalia Onion and Spinach tarts for our guests.

Chef Elaine is a personal chef and is available for hire for your next shindig, family reunion or just for you!  

We highly recommend her work. It's a fun and fresh, just like her! You can contact Chef Elaine through her Facebook page here.

I am STARVING right now! How about you? Doesn't that look amazing!

Fresh lemonade in Ball jars...

Paired with Strawberries! I wish I had some right about now.

Now that you know how we get down at Nostalgia, I'm guessing you won't want to miss out next big thing. Stay tuned because you know we've got a lot more up our sleeves!

Maison Blanche La Craie Paint Class

Good morning class!  

Here are some of wonderful ladies that attended our first Maison Blanche La Craie "The Chalk" paint your own furniture class.  All the supplies: paints, waxes, brushes, and helpful hints were provided for the class.  The ladies brought in tired brown pieces of furniture and left with a refreshed piece, ready to spruce up their spaces.

Everyone received a print-out of instructions to take home with them, so they can paint their next piece of furniture.  Tips and tricks were written on the the chalkboard and several of the ladies were taking really good notes.

There was a variety of fun furniture pieces.  We discussed several options for this former plant stand.

Old windows have become a popular decor item.  We even have a pinterest board that includes a variety of ideas for them!  This one got painted, waxed and I'm sure it is already hanging on the wall.

Don't you just love the color!  Maison Blanche Creme de Menthe.

All the colors are wonderful, but I'm so glad the bold and beautiful Cerise went home on this little night stand.  Not only was it sporting this beautiful color, it also got new hardware in the shape of little baseballs!  Sadly, we did not get a picture of the hardware.

This ceramic lamp was beautified using Colette.  As soon as we decide on a shade for it, we'll show you the finished product.  Yes, you can paint glass and metal!

Robin's Egg blue was the perfect color for the plant stand and now it's being distressed with one my favorite distressing techniques, come to the class and I'll share it with you.

And after you've distressed to perfection, you get to wax your piece.

What a transformation!

Creme de Menthe with the dark brown wax transformed this Goodwill table.  

We weren't able to get all the attendees photo, but here's part of the talented group of ladies and their finished pieces.

Thanks for a wonderful class, I can't wait to see what you ladies paint next!
