Amanda Bachelder teaches crafting classes at Camas Antiques using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Some of the items she has painted include her boots and lunch box, in addition to furniture. She also has a space at the store which features antiques, collectibles, romantic home decor and vintage inspired handmade goods.

This small dresser is just one example of Bachelder's refurbishing work. Many of her items are available at Camas Antiques.
Amanda Bachelder has always loved the vintage look. Clad in a flowing white shirt, jeans, hand-painted boots and toting a custom tool box with bejeweled handle, she looks very much the part of modern mixed with yesterday.
“I fell in love with the shabby chic look,” she said. “I would buy furniture at garage sales, and paint layers of white paint for that look. I love that style.”
