What color to pick....Paris Grey or French Linen....

Which color to pick for the desk below at first seemed like a daunting task,but then the ahhaa moment! 
Why not do both of two popular colors from Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan


The top is done in Old White, and the bottom done is a 
 rustic technique using Paris Grey as the base color, French Linen top coat, light sanding
then finished with clear wax and dark wax.

This is the original hardware which was gold, it was softened with a coating of silver gilding wax, 
some of the gold still peeks through.



and the final touch was a pop of English yellow in the inside of the drawer....don't you just love it!!
