Green and Gold - painted chest of drawers with mirror
Here's a commission I was working on last week. My customer has an Art Deco black and green bathroom and wanted to have an old chest of drawers and mirror painted to match the colour scheme.
This is the 'before. pic.... all very brown and plain. It's been sitting in the hall outside the bathroom, so the idea is that the colours and brightness are mirrored and lighten up the hallway. The mirror is Edwardian while the chest of drawers with a small cupboard is 1940s.
This customer didn't want anything too fancy, just a bit of gilding on the handles and mirror so that everything matches in. I custom-mixed some of the green chalk paint colours: Antique Turquoise, Troubled Waters and Lemon/Lime to get the right colour.
Just a bit of gold wax to finish - the rest of the painted surfaces have had a couple of coats of clear wax to seal and finish.
