After the last post, I had a couple of emails asking to explain further what the term "Honest Paint" means. In our Raised In Cotton dictionary, it refers to a vintage object with an original painted surface. Basically untouched and "as found" condition that can also include several layers of old paint due to the age. Now mind you we're not paint snobs at all and will cover a piece that has great lines for the shop. But for us, the beauty of an old painted country piece found at a local farm sale will never go out of style in our design book. Maybe its our 25+ years in the Antique business, but we still prefer the authentic color, texture and weathered surface not to mention the visible story that an honest painted piece provides.
