Have you heard? Faded
Elegance is carrying Maison
Blanche’s Paint Company’s products. I
have had so many requests over the years for my paint colors and instruction on
painting furniture. I have looked far
and wide for a quality product that met my high standards. I am proud to stock the Masion Blance La Craie,
that’s French for “the chalk” paint.
This is a high premium Furniture
Paint that will adhesion to almost any surface.
La Craie contains no harsh chemical drying agents. This means a longer
"open time" or "wet time" allowing the paint to settle and
smooth as it dries to a velvety finish and reduces the likelihood of chalk
balls.
I
have tried many different waxes over the years and the Maison Blanche Paint
Company's Antique Wax is the best. This wax is a premium formulation that has
been manufactured from an Old Dutch recipe for over 100 years. The best part is
a little goes a long way and with the La Craie no need to apply clear Antique
Wax prior to applying Dark Brown Antique Wax!
One of the
many exciting things about The Maison Blanche line are the different products available
that can make your projects truly custom and one of a kind. I’ve been working with the Le Dirt antiquing
dust and Glacage Embossing Crème and will post about it very soon. Use Le
Dirt in conjunction with other Maison Blanche Paint Company products to create
a believably authentic, delicately aged finish.
Glacage Embossing Crème is furniture
refinishing texture medium used to transform furniture and cabinetry into
fantastic custom creations. Glacage is an acrylic, water-based, thick texturing
cream that mimics the look and feel of intricately carved wood. Create
beautiful textured finishes over wood, cabinetry, and previously painted
furniture.

Starting March 2013 I will be teaching painting technique
classes using the Maison Blanche products at Faded Elegance, so keep posted for
details.
Check out what my friend Cheree of With a Twist says about
La Craie. Cheree is one of my talented
dealers at Faded Elegance. http://withatwistdesigns.blogspot.com/2013/01/maison-blanche-la-craie.html
