Beachy Set....

I can't believe I forgot to take "befores".... aughhhh!

After

 

I absolutely love these!!  I tried a different technique called "white-washing"....  I didn't use white, but instead mixed ASCP Old White with ASCP Graphite to get a lighter gray wash.  I did uneven, but straight across quick paint strokes until I got the first coat on.  Once that was dry, I did the same thing over again to even out the strokes.....

 

The look is very beachy & weathered/rustic.  The drawers were painted in a combo of ASCP Florence, Old White, Versailles (basically whatever I had a little left of, I mixed together to get this color)... unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce this color if I tried!!

Custom Job ~ Love this piece!

Before

After

 

This was such a fun job to do!  Some friends of mine asked me to come to their house & paint this beautiful, antique buffet for them.

 

I'll list a few reasons why this was fun:

 

1.  They are really cool people

 

2.  They made me coffee

 

3.  I got to paint indoors... instead of my freezing cold garage that doesn't have heat

 

4.  The buffet was awesome with/without paint, so I really couldn't screw it up!

 

OK... done with the list!  She wanted this painted in ASCP Versailles & then distressed & waxed in both clear/dark wax.

 

This was a great job to do for great people ~ thanks!!!

I ended up mixing English Yellow with Versailles to get this color & I like it.  It is pretty subtle.... kind of a buttery color.  It was then distressed & both clear & dark waxed....  It has a rustic appearance & would be the perfect addition anywhere in your home or cabin!

I hadn't done a mirror in awhile, so it was fun to do something different!  The subtle details on the corners of the mirror were fun to work with....  I painted this ASCP Olive, distressed, & waxed with dark wax...

Sunny Side Table

before... lots of spindles on this baby!

lots of distressing

 

 

This was a fun piece... I knew I would be doing a lot of distressing on this piece & went back & forth on the color....  ASCP English Yellow was my final choice & I really like it!

 

If your looking for a punch of color in any room of your home, this would be the perfect piece!

Character Side Table

before

after

 

This side table has 3 different colors of paint on it... I first painted the whole thing in ASCP's Emperor's Silk & decided it wasn't quite right... so I painted the drawers in ASCP Graphite & the base in ASCP Old White.  I really like how it turned out.  The drawers look navy on this picture, but are really a charcoal gray.
