This piece was pretty simple, and lacked the ornate detail I so enjoy in antique pieces. So I knew I had to create interest and texture with the finish.
I painted it in Renfrew Blue, with a little bit of white mixed in. The I took a palm sander and heavily distressed it. Finally, I waxed it up and buffed away.
I'm incredibly happy with the result. I think it turned out really stunning.
The roses up top are from my garden :)
I love the simplicity of the lines. So elegant.
My babes are still napping. Maybe I can get another piece painted before they wake up. Here's to wishing!
Yesterday I thought I'd try to clean my fridge during their wake time. That was a joke. They love exploring the fridge. I was constantly dragging them away from the open door. Finally I just gave up.
