If you have followed me for awhile you know I LOVE any shade of teal blue so when a customer called a dresser from my stock to paint album and wanted it in shades of teal I was ecstatic. Now the problem arises in the fact that there are endless shades of teal and blues. She had a certain color in mind and after sharing all the colors I had on hand I directed her to a local
Dixie Belle retailer.
A lovely combo for sure don't you think?
Here is coat one drying
and dry but the lighting is goofy to get the right color
To add highlights and an ombre effect around the edges,
DB peacock was brushed on, misted with my
spray
mister and blended in.
It gives a soft subtle color effect shown right with left just the solid blue.
The edges were lightly distressed to keep the vintage feel.
The rest of the dresser with
peacock being added...
and blended all in.
The customer originally wanted the hardware painted silver but after I showed her the original antique gold with the blues she chose to keep it. Hardware was scrubbed ready to go back on when complete.
The scrubbed original hardware in place was given the OK
To give even further dimension to the piece
ageing wax was added along the edges and in all nooks and crannies.
All the hardware was put on and it is complete!

UPDATE here is a photo the customer sent of it in her home, lovely right?
