Layering of different colors creates an authentic, rich finish. For more projects where I have used a layering technique, check out these posts. At Your Service, In the Looking Glass, French Curves, and Today It’s a Console

You can see other color combinations for secretaries and desks in my January post, French Secretary, and a post from July, Secretaire Extraordinaire and also Old White and Pastels.
Secretaire Extraodinaire
Much of my time this week was focused on my new website. As a result projects and painting dropped a notch on my to do list. Fortunately, inspiration is only a click away on Pinterest. This antique secretary (source) is extraordinary! To achieve a similar look on yours, use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®. Antoinette painted as your first and dominant color. Add Paris Grey and Coco for shadowing and depth around the frame and drawer edges. Old White for highlights. Perfect, in a home or a palace!
A secretary can be a statement piece as well as a practical desk, especially in double duty rooms and small spaces. If you missed these other posts on paint colors for secretaries, see, Secretary Preview, French Secretary, and Going Green
Going Green
Found on Inspiredpaintrepeat, this secretary/desk is a great way to go green. Use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® to recreate this fresh combination of color. Mix and layer Florence and Chateau Grey and add accents with Versailles and Arles. Use the same colors on your desk chair but with the emphasis on Versailles and Arles. A clever way to use the same colors to work together and also avoid looking too matchy, matchy.
