Well I have had a hell of week. Don't you just love when everything you plan goes wrong and everything you did not plan seems to happen. I had a throbbing pounding toothache that resulted in me losing a molar, now I have toothless hole in the back of my mouth, oh well. I am currently in the middle of painting a very large mahogany china cabinet, and no matter how many coats of Shellac I put on it, it keeps bleeding and bleeding through.
With high hopes that this week will be normal, today I am sharing a serpentine dresser I did before Christmas.
This was a curbside find and a good one, clean nothing was broken, it just needed a little paint. I painted the dresser in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Provence.
It's hard to see, but for the wax I mixed clear wax with olive paint, it was a subtle effect.
Gold rub-n-buff on all the hardware, it really just brings it back to life.
Let's talk about this color, Provence, turquoise, aqua whatever you want to call it. I call it the money color, everything single thing I paint in this color sells really fast. What's your money color?
I cannot find the before picture, I think I forgot to take it, told you a hot mess.


Haha!! Here's hoping you have a more normal week this week:-)
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't have a money color (it would make it easier!) but find the more unique and stand-out a piece is, the quicker it sells for me. Anything done in black n white striped fabric is always a quick seller tho, that's my 'money' fabric ;-)
I love Provence too! Nice idea about the olive paint mixed in the wax - I'll have to try it, sometimes Provence looks a bit too bold.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I can see why it's your "money" color!
ReplyDeleteIt is incredibly gorgeous! What is olive paint?
ReplyDeleteCarefully permit go and then establіѕhed the spider upside down (with іts legs in
ReplyDeletethe aіr) to dry. This have cοnstаntly been
a favогite exercise in my dwelling.
Fabric markers have even been applied and can be
advantageous to contact-up the гegions on thе footwear wherе thе cοlour
ԁid nоt consіder (the ѕeams eѕρeсiallу).

ReplyDeleteI can't exactly remember why--maybe it was peer pressure from our health-driven community, who knows. Roll each portion into the thickness of a broom handle.
