Seeing Stars

Another piece from the Americana Collection

inspired by relaxed country living and

 American farmhouse style

 I've been wanting to do a piece using

Annie Sloan's Emperors Silk

and was inspired by the upcoming

Independence Day holiday...

 I wanted to avoid anything with too much of a "theme"

as I tend to tire of those pieces quickly

in my own home

but I loved the idea of a little hidden "something"

to make a special piece even more so...

 The red is so deep and rich...

I only used dark wax on this piece...

right over the paint...

(if you're going to try this, I encourage you to test first!)

 When we purchased this piece, it had issues.

many, many issues...

 now, the repairs all seem worth every second they took...

Wondering about that gorgeous navy blue 

on the drawers?

I custom mixed that color using Annie Sloan Paint

Curious about mixing colors?

Miss Annie has a charming blog

all about color theory...
