Aged

Is it really Thursday already? This week is kind of a blur. Actually today feels like Monday to me because Mr. Savvy went back to work all by himself today. Finally able to drive again even though I am not so sure he should with the medications he is on. I have been waiting on him hand and foot and I had Leila twice this week, too. The house is a wreck with everyone here and I couldn't vacuum so today is clean the house day with him gone. He probably will only work a few hours and then come home and lie back down.

Here is my latest project that I completed last weekend.

Right after I posted about wanting to change out the ticking on this cabinet and not being sure how to remove this fabric that was mod podged on ...........

.............I just ripped the fabric off once I lifted up a corner and was left with this.

You know what? This was actually a good thing. I knew these leftover hunks of paint would really add some texture to the aged paint process. Now I just needed to figure out what color I wanted to use.

I ended up using layers of ASCP colors on the inserts. The outside is CoCo which I had already shown with the ticking still there.

Here you can see the textures that the old paint helped add.

Took this shot to capture the shine from the waxing.

I love the way this piece looks aged and worn now like a piece that has been around for decades.

This goes much better with the new room design that you will see later.

I will share the step by step tutorial with pictures of how I created this finish in another post.
