I so wanted to browse and check out every little corner but with little ones in tow maybe some other time. Beelined to the paint shelf, debated on a few colors... so many pretty ones to choose from. I also had the kids picked out their fav colors in sample size cans to paint our next project. Brought home 4 different colors, a few brushes, clear wax finish and a paint roller. Annie Sloan is not cheap... I def splurged. The owner was so sweet, gave me an impromptu class on chalk paint 101. Said to give her a call if I have any questions. Can't wait to build my paint color collection.
