Elegant Design by Kim: New Bedroom Furniture for Sandy

Life is good and fun, too! A project was finished today - a special one because this project was done with a special friend. We redid her bedroom furniture and it looks so great! Although the work is finished we don't have the pretty, "with the bedding and staged" pictures but I'm so excited that my friend is excited that I will share.

Here is a before picture, ready for some La Craie!

We started with Hurricane, painting all surfaces. Then, with the Hurricane we created a Pebbled Surface on the Dresser Top, Bureau Top and the two End Tables.

Next was application of size, for crackling in randomly chosen areas, as well as in the two ovals which are the main focus of the bed.

The next color applied was La Bonne Terre. Once dried we sanded certain areas, creating some distressing and also smoothing out the crackled areas.

Ready for wax - we used the Antique Wax Dark Brown, and the result is gorgeous! Very subtle tones and the crackling worked really well with the two colors! Sandy is thrilled and I'm thrilled! What a fun project!

Will post the final pretty pictures once staged but wanted to share some La Craie Love with you today! This was a first project for Sandy, working with paint and furniture of this nature. She was delighted with the paint and its ease of application. The wax going on, of course, was her favorite part!
