On Friday I showed y'all a little project I worked on recently and I left you hanging without showing you how it turned out. Well, here it is in all its many layers it took to create this look.
I love how each layer created this worn look.
In case you missed Friday's post showing the before and the products I used you can check it
Love the way it turned out....beautiful patina!....Looks great on the chest too!
ReplyDeleteKim, that turned out great. Love the layered effects.
ReplyDeleteThese turned out fantastic. You can see every detail.

Beautiful Kim! It truly looks 100's of years old! And I also love it on the blue chest :}
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, it looks s like naturally aged brass for sure ")
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteLove the new look! BTW..... What happened to your blog roll on the side? That seems to have disappeared??
Teresa, I removed it. I am trying to clean up my blog a bit and see if I can get it to run smoother. I am subscribed to blogs and use bloglovin plus know in my head my faves.
DeleteKim, that turned out AMAZING! I think I want it back!!! It looks fabulous on the blue chest, all the layers just add to the depth of the piece. Gorgeous, gorgeous!

No way girl. Snooze you loose!!
DeleteThanks
I enjoy you blog but wish I didn't have to remove so many ads that hide the lower portion of your pictures. That is annoying. ---Barb
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the annoyance of the ads, Barb. At first they came up on every photo and now only two so I do think about y'all. If I didn't have ads and an income from this blog there would be no blog. The publishers pay more for the in image ads.Just a simple click and they should disappear. I have to do the same thing on most of my favorite blogs.
DeleteThat looks fabulous! Something tells me you can definitely paint those bookcases;) and by any chance did you paint that chest again, it looks different. It caught my eye right away. I love it!
ReplyDeleteNo, I did not paint the chest again, Cindy. Thanks
DeleteI love it Kim!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Can I send you some of my stuff so you can create the same kind of finish for me???! Absolutely love it KIM! It is prefect, the patina-effect you created seems to be it's natural state all along!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out amazing! Here you say "two blues," but in the earlier post I ohly saw mention of MMS Flow Blue. What did I miss?
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I used a very small amount of a pale blue I had on hand, too.

WOW! I love it so much!!! It came out just gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Kim! what a great job!!
That turned out so pretty! I love the bits of blue that you added. I would never have guessed that used to be a lamp base before.
ReplyDeleteKim, This turned out gorgeous! I love all the layers of colors and the way it looks on top of the chest!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Kim!
ReplyDeleteThe details show so much more now! The layers actually allowed them to shine!
ReplyDeleteI love the drapes I see in the picture! So nice to see color I'm so tired of all the pale looking homes.
ReplyDeleteLove all the layers you added Kim-great job!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great. I LOVE the end color and finish. Great job, Kim. It looks great on top of that chest, too. (if it's still there-that is)...lol
ReplyDeleteI adore the chest of drawers!! Amazing color!!

Love it! Waiting for the painting over wallpaper post!
ReplyDeleteAnother clever transformation!
ReplyDeleteLove this, it looks like something you found in an antique shop. I love how you have layered all the different types of paints and waxes to make this, I am going to give this a try! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteKim, This is absolutely stunning! Every time I see one of these projects, I promise myself I will try it, but this one really convinced me. Just gorgeous!!

Love it when you share your painting techniques Kim! You always do a beautiful job.....love this!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Love how all the layers give it what looks like years of patina.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the artist? I recognize but can't recall the name. All of it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRodo Boulanger is the artist.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim! I just love all of the things you do. You don't show how you do it but you do share what you used. Thank you for that. Can you tell me if the blue empire dresser is painted in MMSMP Flow Blue also? It is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI painted it years ago and there are many layers as I painted it more than once. The darker blue is Aubusoon Blue with Annie Sloan Chalk paint. Thanks
