Sorry for the truly horrid phone pic, but here’s the before. When I bought this I thought it would be a hard one to paint because of the condition, but upon closer inspection, it was a rough original finish. I think it had sat in the sun, so the finish was crackled and “alligator-ed”.
Here it is all finished! This is my very favorite color I have used yet, Restless Sea by Behr. It’s not quite as dark as navy, and has a little hint of green. It is just a rich, dark, beautiful blue. This is two coats of homemade chalk paint (the textured finish is still there – it really isn’t a bad thing, it just shows the age of the piece).
The whole thing was finished with MMS Hemp Oil, the top got two coats to seal and protect a bit more.
I left the mirror frame wood to go with the top of the chest. (Please ignore the “keeping-it-real” reflection there). The mirror itself is in really great condition, and the edges are beveled which adds a bit more sparkle to the mirror.
Check out these claw feet – aren’t they fabulous?!?! And the wooden casters are pretty great too. These are the most detailed claw feet I’ve ever done.
This is one of those pieces I felt privileged to work on!
Blessings for a great weekend!
