I love the color of natural patina and am always looking for a color combo that gives me that type of feel. Today’s post is about the evolution of a buffet and an experiment in color with Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan.
I bought this beat up buffet and had it in the SP Barn the other day as I was setting for our month sale in September. I was thinking I would paint in Lamp Black by General Finishes and make it very chippy and antiqued. Then I started looking around in the barn as I was setting for the sale and had a desire to give it a little more funk. I started digging through my chalk paint colors to see what I had with me. The night before I had been playing with the color florence on a mirror. When my mom {aka COO} saw it she commented on how much she liked the color so I said what the heck lets have a little fun.
I pulled out my Florence and graphite chalk paint and started playing around with the color mixture against the black top I had already done on the buffet. I was really loving it….no it won’t be for everyone but the person that does take this Anthropologie-inspired buffet home will love it.
I loved this color so much I decided to paint the front door of the barn my personal color mix of “Patina” {Chalk Paint™ Florence & Graphite}. Hope to see you at the SP Barn this weekend {sept 21-23, 10-5pm each day!} get directions here. Happy painting!
