The Blues

In order to create a vintage finish similar to the one on this little chest,

start with a coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg Blue.

Once that is dry, using a light touch, add some areas of Louis Blue

and Old White to give depth to your finish. Finally, add Coco

 with a dry brush to create shadows. Use a clear wax on the entire piece

 when finished painting. The wax helps protect the paint, 

but also contributes to the look of an aged patina, like that seen

 on antiques and vintage furniture.
