Isn't this piece cute. We were given this by a relative who had it stored in their musty basement. I didn't snap a before, but trust me, it was brown, boring and dingy. I knew I needed to brighten her up.
I has a great time playing around with the colours and think it turned out beautifully. It is certainly much nicer then where it started from.
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!
