Something Old-Something New...

Something Old-Something New….

We’re all familiar with the saying” Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue”-well for today it’s referring to Faux Finishing rather than Bridal advice. Often as a faux painter I’m asked to revive a much loved old piece of furniture and give it a new look. Maybe the décor colors have changed or the piece has experienced some wear and tear over the years. However, faux painting can be just as appropriate for a brand new piece of furniture. Like the wine cabinet featured below. After selecting the piece that worked well in her dining room, the client had it shipped to me for faux painting. Once finished I along with a strong crew member, delivered and assembled her New-Old Wine Cabinet.

The cabinet comes in various pieces at Pier One and can be expanded as needed. The purchased finish however, is a mid to deep tone wood. Although pretty, the client’s home is more a beachy shabby chic look in tones of blues, teals and lavender. For this piece a teal color in some of her fabrics was used as a base color. The results- Gorgeous !!!

Here's a look at the steps for transitioning the furniture color:

These steps were done to each section. For the inserts were the wine bottles will be placed, the dark wood tone was kept and I added just a bit a glazing into the insets. 

Here's another stunning piece. The client purchased an armoire from Norris furniture in a light dream color. The piece has been given a beautiful aged worn look.
