I love how this one turned out. The pics are not amazing, but in real life she is a great colour and her clear wax has given a lovely soft sheen. I custom mixed ASCP colours to come up with my various shades of green, mint and teal. I also accented with some turquoise and blue. I distressed pretty heavily and lots of the wood shows through.
I originally papered the middle section as well, but I didn't love how it turned out, so I overcame this by lightly painting over the paper and distressing so you can only see it in a subtle way. A bit like a whitewash.
Thanks again to Dionne at THETURQUOISEIRIS for inspiring me to use the peacock paper. She is amazing!
I tried a little something different on these cute nightstands by using modpodge to attach some decorative paper to the front. The paint is a minty custom mixed using Annie Sloan, and I accented with shades of green and turquoise.
I clear waxed everything, but left it low lustre by not overbuffing. The paper matches the mint, and features little peacock feathers (an idea inspired from Dionne over at THETURQUOISEIRIS).
I think they turned out pretty neat, and they certainly look great on the dark wood floor.
