Pine Ombre Cabinet

This pine cabinet is for toy storage in a children's playroom. It was purposefully painted to have a very distressed, chippy finish, with a fun ombre color effect. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is definitely the way to go on a piece that will have heavy use, wear and tear.  It is also a great example of expanding your range of green.

I have a few more green color studies to share These focus on mixing Florence with English Yellow, and Florence with Arles.

                                   

 It is helpful to have a comparison of the difference of green when using English Yellow as opposed to Arles. There is a typo in the last sample card. The correct proportion should read 1 part Florence to 2 parts English Yellow.

Update - Walnut Cabinet

An old Walnut Jelly Cabinet is given an update with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

First, a coat of Paris Grey, then a mix of French Linen and Old White. 

Clear Wax, and Dark Wax in the crevices. Top was left natural, 

and inside painted with Old White. It now holds towels and linens in the master bath.
