Ombré Opulence

The ombré trend has garnered popularity in hair, makeup, and fashion. 
It has also made its way to furniture and home decor! 
Ombré is the use of graduated colors from light to dark tones. A customer recently came in and was interested in doing ombré drawers on a piece of furniture; we browsed photos on pinterest and loved what we saw! It's such a great way to transform a piece into a unique accent for a room.

These wall plaques are done in Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan as well as the dark and clear soft waxes. The first is Pure White, the second is a mix of Paloma and Emile, and the third is Emile. All are finished with both clear and dark wax, and silver gild wax accents.

From drab to a french look....

This hutch was about to be put up for sale, but a decorator

saw the beauty in the beautiful lines and architecture.

The results were amazing, what was once becoming an eyesore is now 

a beautiful French inspired hutch.  The look was achieved by using

Paris Grey and Old White Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan, clear wax

and a light application of dark wax.  Followed by accenting areas in gold gilding wax.

Updating Planters with....

This was a terracotta planter that had needed a new look,

so we painted it with Napoleonic Blue and Old Ochre Chalk Paint®

 and soft wax mixed with just a little bit of the Old Ochre Chalk Paint®

Sweet little cherubs are given a coat coat of Old Ochre Chalk Paint®,

with a generous amount of dark wax and a touch of gold gilding wax.
