Annie Sloan Paints FLORENCE
arrived on my doorstep yesterday...
late in the day, in fact
and yet here is a finished project...or TWO!
Needless to say,
I couldn't dip into it fast enough!
The table top was TRASHED...
so dark and gunky,
you couldn't even see the beautiful pattern
The marquetry kept me from painting over it
and boy am I glad I didn't!
Just look at that gorgeous detailing!
I won't say it was easy...
just that it was worth it
What color could possibly hold it's own against
that glorious table top?
Florence, of course!
Florence is a pretty spectacular color
and I wanted a bit more impact for the table
Viola, a mirror!
Heavily detailed
lots of dark wax
Yum. Just yum.
I envision this loveliness
in a foyer or hall...
perhaps tucked into an underused nook...
Wherever it ends up, it will certainly steal the show!
