Painting Progress

The Husband sometimes questions my choice to paint a particular piece of furniture.  In the case of this one, a large, heavy, dark pine linen press, he wholeheartedly agrees with my decision ... and he even concurs with my choice of colors.



The door on the left is all finished ... painted Duck Egg with Country Grey on the raised panel (Annie Sloan Chalk Paint), very lightly distressed to accentuate the contours of the door, glazed with a wash of custom mixed chocolate brown chalk paint, and clear waxed.  The unpainted door is nothing special.  The painted door looks SO much better.

I disassembled as much of this cabinet as I could, and I brought the pieces upstairs to work on them ... two large drawers, two small drawers, and the two doors.  The rest of the cabinet will have to stay in the garage until the weather is warm enough for me to work out there.



Maggie and Winnie, my trusty assistants, are already in position, so I guess it's time for me to get to work.
