There's something about French Provincial that I find interesting. I don't like the shiny finish or the usual colors - whites and yellows trimmed in faux gold.
BUT... the lines and details are always fun to work with.
I found this piece at a thrift shop. It was in pretty good condition, a few nicks and chips but nothing that would take away from a nice finish.
The details on the drawer and the legs are great for what I had planned. I chose my paint color, Valspar Pomegranate Seed and a Rustoleum Java Brown Glaze.
Websters Chalk Paint Powder and Daddy Van's Wax.
The detailed carvings hold the glaze and really let them stand out. The same for the drawers and the bottom trim.
The color on the drawer is off in this photo but you can see how the glaze gives the detail a soft outline.
And this is the completed piece. Quite a pop of color, great accent as a dresser or a buffet.
Now, I'm in search of more of these pieces.
Thanks for letting me share my work with you.
Have a great week.
Patti
