Hello. Happy Saturday. I love sleeping in and reading a book in the morning. As opposed to weekday mornings, gym at 5:30 am and work at 7:30. So yes, I fully enjoy the two mornings a week that I get to sleep in.
I finished up this gem yesterday, and I am loving the grey tone I mixed up. I had a little bit of Paris Grey from Annie Sloan Chalk Paint left, so I added some Behr White latex and a smidge of Graphite from ASCP. Painted the first coat, but it seemed a bit to light for my liken. I added in some more Graphite to make it darker and voila! Kind of a steel grey, very masculine.
Here's my fav close up. You can see the lighter tone peeking through, and the rich dark brown. I wish I had a before picture.
Great view from up top.
Petite curvy feet.
The handles I found in my bag of extras. At Christmas when my Mom came down, she brought me a bag of handles that she had been collecting all year for me. Your the BEST Mom! These handles were gold, so I gave them a blast of Rustoleum Spray Paint in Matt Black. I used some Annie Sloan Soft Wax to buff them up. I like the look. They kinda look like country farm handles.
My oldest daughter tried to claim this one. I will take that as a compliment.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. I'm sorry it wasn't much of a tutorial. As a matter of fact, I don't think the pictures would have been that great. I did most of my painting between 8-11 pm. Really poor light at this time of year.
Thank you and take care.
Party Time!

ReplyDeleteThank you Donna. I think I may paint a sample, just to remember the tone I'm trying to achieve next time. xx
DeleteThis is a great piece. I have a hutch that I keep thinking about painting using this same technique. I keep chickening out though. I really like the detail.. Carole at GardenUp green
