French Country Chest of Drawers- Duck Egg Blue Paint

Painting pine furniture with Duck Egg Blue paint and shabbying it up to give it that country feel is a real pleasure!

Here's the before pic:

This is a sturdy little chest of drawers, the handles have been changed at some point and it's pretty scuffed up - but not in a good way!

I painted all over (including the back) using Autentico's Troubled Waters - which is that veeeery French  yummy grey blue colour.  Then gave it some violent distressing with sandpaper and waxed to finish.

There's always more :-)  I replaced the old handles with one of my favourite ceramic 'bee design' drawer pulls.  I also painted the inside of the drawers in Violet Grey and finished with a little bit of gilding around the drawer tops.

I want to keep this French Country style, the legs are so pretty.

All the surfaces have been given a couple of coats of clear wax to seal and protect.

Tres jolie :-)
