Happy Monday All!
We had wonderful temperatures here in Central Oho over the weekend. It was great to get outside, clean up a bit, play and enjoy the short lived summer weather.
Temperature plays a key role in my business as well as my mental health. I took advantage of the two-day respite and painted a customer project in latex. Yes, the old fashioned method of furniture painting. I hope to share it later this week.
In the meantime, I have a before and after to wow you today. At least I hope you enjoy this project as much as I do.
I picked up this country looking armoire last month. I realize most folks have gone to flat screen tv's, but an armoire still has many uses. Besides, it's a great statement piece!
Using Emperor's Silk by Annie Sloan, I randomly brushed paint on the edges.
Since I did not have the gray I usually use, I made my own:
RECIPE:
Latex flat paint
Unsanded grout
Water
I used about 1/2 a quart. Be sure to make more than you think!
You can see the red come through, as I peeled back the gray paint.
I painted the inside as well.
After a coat of wax, here is the finished armoire.
Hope you like her! She will land in my space, B-10 at Heritage Square Antique Mall, today!
Have a great Monday!
