Spring Collection in Blues and Golds
What's been going on at the shop? I've been really bad at posting this month, but there has been A LOT of painting in Duck Egg Blue and Gold. Spring's well underway, the sun's been shining... and we've been busy with customers who want to BRIGHTEN everything up! Here's some pics for you and a 'before and after' story.
This tallboy chest of drawers might look on it's last legs BUT with a bit of blue and gold treatment... lovely handles and detail :-)...
Can easily be turned into a really interesting piece of furniture. I've used Autentico's chalk paint - Troubled Waters for the overall colour. Then added a mix of clear and gold metallic waxes to finish. The handles have been worked on so the floral blossom design is now seen.
Chalk paint sticks to any surface, so if you've got great handles - don't change them!
The blue wardrobe has lots of gilding added - it's a lovely 1930s design, inside there's a hanging rail and shelves.
As the sun's out, skies are blue and the cherry blossom is blooming, here's some quick pics from the park.
I hope this year will be a good year for the bees...
The Grey Wagtail's out too... this one must be a female if I've identified her properly...
The RSPB has a great site for identifying birds - you can link through here
It took me a while to identify this fella - known as a Dipper. When you find the bird you're looking for, there's lots of info including an audio link to hear their song :-)
Have a great weeeeeeek!!!
