Glorious Gilded Armoire - Duck Egg Blue and Gold
Well, I had to go full out glam with this piece of furniture. A lovely armoire, very well made but looking dated and frankly, dull, dull, dull.
It's a heavy, solid piece of furniture, looking stuck in the 1980's - the way it's been put together and the original wood work is great though - there's lots of potential!
I wanted to go full on FRENCHIFIED with this one. J'adore the French Country Cottage look and one of the best ways to get this is with a 'duck egg blue' chalk paint.. So I painted both inside and out in Autentico's Vintage chalk paint in this colour which is called Troubled Waters.
After a few layers to get the right finish, all the detail's been picked out with gold gilding.
Inside, the drawers have been given a gold wax finish.
With just a bit of gold lining across the top...
And the handles have had a bit of work added too.
Et voila!! ready for your petit West End château :-)
