First I painted them all over with Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White.
Then I grabbed my venetian gold and raw umber paints and got to work.
At first they were too brown and too gold so I dry brushed some ASCP in Paris Gray over them.
Now they are just right.

ReplyDeletevery pretty. enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Kim! They do look old world now.
ReplyDeleteI still have not tried the chalk paint. There is a place that carries it in Jersey. I plan to go there once my kids go back to school.

ReplyDeleteHi Kim! I had a lovely gold corbel too, from Home Goods and painted it Old White...but I didn't add anything else. Yours look great and give me ideas!
ReplyDeleteThey look great Kim! I took the corbels off from under my old kitchen counter and they are just hanging around....now I know what to do with them! They might be a feature coming soon to Flea Market Makeovers! And I will make sure to link to you when I do them...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny

ReplyDeleteI just love that look Kim! Thanks for sharing the color choices you used. I have some pieces that I want to do for the worn wood look.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day,
Gail
Pretty, pretty, pretty, Kim! Safe travels ....
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Kim! Looks like you're having fun! Enjoyed the hummingbird post too. Much cleaner than bird seed all over the patio. I'll have to try this next spring, because we do have humming birds and they're beautiful! I've had a bird in the house before too...they're tough little buggers to catch!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!,
Barbara
Beautiful, Kim! You always do such a great job. Happy Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteThey look great. Have a safe trip!!
ReplyDeletecatching up after having company, love the ironstone dish, love love the maple tree? So pretty red, yes we have humming birds and do the sweet water, your lucky to get them out so fast...I'm typing with one finger damaged that's why lumping 4 posts into one!
ReplyDeleteKim, they look FANTASTIC!!!! Love the finish!!!! I hope you are home safely by now! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteKim...you are so clever to give a cosmetic facelift to your "cheap" corbles...they now look fantastic. Don't you find that mass produced items often have great form but not at all convincing finishes. With talent like yours and paint brush in hand you can pull off a dramatic transformation and give them such credibility...who would even know now that they were from Home Goods!
ReplyDeleteJermaine
I luv the old world look and feel, good job! I like the plate above, very clever! XO ~Liz
ReplyDeleteThese turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGood eye! Now they match the other pieces you have! Nice!
ReplyDeleteOooohhh, I SO agree! They are simply PERFECT!! Safe travels...
