Lovely in Lilac

I never thought I would be scared of color. I mean who doesn't love bold statement pieces?
But when a customer wanted a HUGE china cabinet in her dining room painted LILAC,  I'll have to admit,..... I kinda freaked. I was scared it would look like a big BARNEY in her room!
BOY WAS I WRONG. This piece turned out so stunning that I will never again questions a bold color choice. EVER. I am glad we decided to go way darker purple inside. It really set the piece off. See for yourself...

Beautifying a Buffet!

I love it when clients love their pieces and come back for more! My fabulous client Rachel, was on the lookout for a buffet that I could paint to match her dining set that I painted for her last year.
I found this drab dark dresser/buffet and knew it would be perfect. I painted her up in Annie Sloan's Old White chalk paint same as her table and re stained the top in Ebony. I think she turned out fabulous....
