Beachy Feel Painted
Furniture
One of the most popular requests from clients has always been “I want a beachy feel on my furniture. Do you know what I mean?” Yes, indeed! Its chic, sometimes called shabby chic. It can be comforting and quaint. At other times, the same technique can be aged and elegant. When you have a furniture piece that functions and fits in the space just the way you want, having it faux painted is the perfect solution especially here in SW Florida where everyone wants that beachy vibe. 2021 is proving the beach scene to be even more popular as people are flocking here in hundreds and thousands every day. Full time residents call them snowbirds. But these snowbirds are deciding to permanently nest here. Either way, they want that “beachy feel”.
Here’s a look at two recent pieces. The first falls into the shabby chic category and the second piece in the aged and elegant category. Each of the pieces served a purpose and fit the space for their homeowner. Each homeowner wanted a “beachy feel”. Yet each home had a different aesthetic.
A kitchen sideboard started out as golden tone butcher block. It’s been painted in the same blue used on a prior painted piece ( SW6811 Honorable Blue ), then received several coats of whitewashing. The piece will be heavily used so a clear coat was a must. In this case, a dull finish was used so it wouldn’t distract from the beach cottage feel:
