Wood Idea

 

 

Its not a classic French Armoire but its heavy like one. Im over joyed to start the new year

with something so grand and beautiful but I didnt plan it that way.

 

 

I painted it in ASCP Old White then a second layer done in a pale turquoise mixed from ASCP Florence.

The third layer was a wash of ASCP Old White. All the distressing is done with a sponge.

The interior just didnt look right when I opened the pretty doors to see a dark hole so I put her on a

 dolly and wheeled her out onto the top step and carefully sprayed her when the sun was out on the

 first day of the year.

 

 

I really enjoy distressing features like these to show them off.

 

 

There is lots of storage inside and extra room on top for baskets or display.
