PAINTING A FRENCH CONSOLE GREY AND WHITE - thanksgiving



In this house, the wife refinishes a buffet on thanksgiving
while her husband prepares to serve turkey dinner.


Before

Sprayed in a soft grey

Perfect TV console for my shabby chic living room.

After

The grey was mixed using Annie Sloan Old White,
Annie Sloan Provence and Annie Sloan Graphite.


It's a very soft grey and exactly what I wanted.

 

The hardware removed and painted with a flat bright white paint.


Hand painted all the trim details in white.


Sitting quietly, painting the trim, I would feel the warm sun
on my back as the sun plays hide and seek with the clouds.


When he has time hubby sits with me and enjoys a few moments of the day, before run back to the kitchen.
Before he goes he always leans in and steals a kiss.


Finally finishing the console with wax, 
so it can be buffed to a shine.


Gentle distressing in the right places,
and the white against the soft grey,
makes the whole piece look amazing.


I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
