Soft Green and Silver Set

This was a four piece set I picked up.  I absolutely adore the way it turned out. So many pretty details, and the custom added legs lift it up off the ground giving  bit of airiness.  

 

 
I actually picked this colour up from Benjamin Moore in their mistint pile.  It is such a lovely super soft shade of mint.  I love it.  I still have half the gallon left and will definitely be using it again.

 
I decided to keep the look soft by doing a silver hardware.  I prepped the hardware by sanding as well as wiping on a coat of liquid sander before spraying it and then glazing it.

 

 Isn't the raised detailing lovely?

 

Here are the cute matching nightstands.

 

 

 

And the tallboy as well.  I don't always paint matching sets in the same colour, but I loved this colour so much I couldn't resist.

 



Cobalt and Gold Nightstands

These little beauties are stunning.  I picked them up with a matching dresser and opted to give them a cobalt/gold outfit.  So much cute detailing on these and lovely legs. Whistle whistle.

 

 

 
The before pictures look pretty good, but they were quite beaten up!

Green and Gold Bohemian Dresser

I walked by this piece for several weeks before buying it.  Mr. Chuckles said I should buy it and paint it an aged white with a wood top.  I wasn't quite sold on the idea, but I did eventually decide to buy the piece.

 
I had just picked up a great shade of green that I wanted to try out.  It looks really teal on my monitor but it is a true Kelly green and it is complimented with some cobalt blue layering.

 

The top was super warn and weathered.  I decided to embrace that instead of covering it up.  Its suits the bo-ho element of the dresser, I think.

 

 

It was certainly a fun piece to do, and although I don't like the way these pictures turned out, she does look pretty cool in real life.

 

 

Gray and Gold

I'm loving grays with Brilliant gold at the moment.  A quick scan of painted kitchens on Pinterest will show just how popular this combination is at the moment.

 

I have painted a few gray/gold combos at the moment and just love them!

 

 

This is a solid heavy oak piece that is in great condition.  It was a bit short though, so Mr. Chuckles and I added the legs to bring it up to counter top height of 36".  I find in a larger room the added height make it feel more contemporary and the legs add an airiness.

 

 

I love the contrast the gold has with the gray.  The colour is called Raccoon Fur by Ben Moore.

 

 

I personally love being able to see heavy oak grain through the paint, it just adds one more element of interest.

 

 

 

And a cute pair of nightstands painted in the same colour combination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No before pics.  Apologies!
