I found this lovely little commode yesterday,
and could barely get it home fast enough to paint it!
The lovely Robyn of Robyn Story Designs
allowed me to purchase
some great ASCP in sample sizes....
Versailles was one of my picks.
This piece just really wanted to be Versailles...
I pulled out Paris Grey,
then French Linen,
then settled on Greek Blue...
I went to clean out the drawers,
and discovered they had original olive green paint.
Versailles looked great with the darker olive!
I love that it's all Frenchy curves,
yet the wood is very thick and rustic...
tres French Chateau
I know some folks claim that painted hardware
gets gunky and sticky,
but I've not had a problem with this...
I think latex is the culprit in that situation!
In any event, I opted to leave the handles original...
I like the darkness and visual interest they add to the piece
I have a perfect spot for this piece in my house...
hmmm...can't keep them all, right??
Absolutely lovely, you do this so well.
