Wow! I have been so busy building that I haven't been able to blog. Please forgive me. I will start sharing lots of Sassy Tips with you on how you can revamp any space with any budget. Today's tip is to use laminated glass for a backsplash rather than tile. It's a great look, very clean ( no grout lines), and not expensive at all!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10153315893700527-8930749871152889861?l=nicolesassaman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicole Sassamanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06107966068556982087noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10153315893700527.post-5842078372613822992007-07-31T10:03:00.000-07:002008-12-08T15:43:08.317-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b2uZtTNgNuE/Rq9uFGNH14I/AAAAAAAAABA/LvqxnxCncGU/s1600-h/entryway+chalkboard.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b2uZtTNgNuE/Rq9uFGNH14I/AAAAAAAAABA/LvqxnxCncGU/s400/entryway+chalkboard.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093410737423374210" /></a><br />Most people don't realize how easy it is to create a chalkboard. All you have to do is buy the paint which comes in green brown or black and roll or brush it on! I have had so much fun with this in children's rooms and kitchens, and even as an accent wall in a conference room! In my new book I will also give you the formula to make chalkboard paint so that you can have it in any color that you like!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10153315893700527-584207837261382299?l=nicolesassaman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicole Sassamanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06107966068556982087noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10153315893700527.post-19799060132002391962007-07-24T09:42:00.000-07:002007-07-24T09:51:39.411-07:00So many of the things that you see in my rooms are either from my furniture and accessory line or from my store which also carries all of my things, as well as so many other fabulous fixings for your space!
