Makeover and a Giveaway!


In honor of my adorable blog makeover, I would like to have a giveaway!  Yaa for giveaways!  Who doesn't love free stuff? 


I wanted my blog to have a vintage feel and I think we achieved that!  I love chippy paint!  Can you tell?  I love perfectly imperfect things.  Cracks just add to the character.  Like I said before, vintage stuff has a story to tell, and I love to hear it.  My blog really represents me now and I love that!

Now for the giveaway part of this post:

You know I talk about the paint we use from Caromal Colours, right?  Well, we are giving away a Barnworn Distressed Kit from Caromal Colours to the lucky winner of this contest!  That is a $104 value! That includes 2 quarts of textured basecoat (your choice of colors), chipping creme (the key I tell ya!), a jar of toner,  and a chip brush.  You are going to love this paint as much as I love comfy socks!  There is no stripping, sanding, or priming before painting!  *Heavens open up and sing!*

Rules for the Contest:

1.  You must be or become a follower, AND leave a comment saying so (even if you already follow, you need to leave a comment at the end of this post).

2.  Like "A Little Chic" on Facebook, AND leave a comment saying so.

3.  Post about this giveaway on your own blog, AND leave a comment saying so.  I now have a button you can grab.

CONTEST ENDS when I reach 100 followers!

I'm Getting A Makeover!



I can hardly wait. . . my blog is getting a makeover soon. . . and I can hardly wait for the reveal!  My makeover will be complete by the end of this week (hopefully, fingers crossed)!  I am like a kid at Christmas!  It's all I think about.  I wonder if Diana from Custom Blog Designs will get the vision I have, or will it be even better than I imagined!  Keep checking back with me to see my beautiful new blog. 

Update on a few of my pieces:  The antique drop-leaf table sold, as did my old wood school desk from Kansas, my yellow metal rolling cart, my "Vacancy" sign, as well as my all-time favorite piece, the white armoire "Kennedy."Until then, happy junking!

Extreme Blog Makeover!

I have been scouring the internet to find someone to spruce up my blog.  I have found some things I like, but I want it customized.  I really want my blog to represent ME!  I am very cheap thrifty too.  You remember the old Midas commercials? Midas Muffler   "I'm not going to pay a lot for that muffler!"  Well, that's how I feel, but about my blog.  I know, I know, I am asking a lot, and if I only knew how to do HTML coding I could do it myself.  But, alas, I know nothing in that regard and so I must rely on someone else.

If anyone has any ideas about custom blogs please drop me a line.
