Let's see. How many layers of paint do I have on here now?
I'm not sure. I have lost count.
But the more layers I add the crustier and chippier and older it looks.
Isn't that the look most of us are trying to create?
I painted the Louis Blue and Greek Blue on in different areas and took some back off with a damp rag. After it was dry I waxed with clear and dark waxes and then buffed.
Yep, that is what this piece told me to do. Ignore the reflection on the t.v.
A peek.

I love the addition of blue and I am intrigued about that little peek.:-)
ReplyDeleteI am loving the blue! My furniture doesn't talk to me...if it did, it would probably tell me to make Rosie stop biting its legs! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

That is gorgeous! The more layers the better I say!!
ReplyDeleteLove the hint of blue! Just so pretty! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Trish
Nice addition adding the blue Kim. The more layered the better in my book! Are those red ticking pillows from HG? I saw them a few weeks ago and was thinking about getting them for my sitting room. Now I'm sorry I didn't!
ReplyDeleteKim...you know the saying "a rolling stone gathers no moss?" That's you, friend...always busy busy! Looks fab...can't wait to see more! :)
ReplyDeleteThe blue looks great on your tv cabinet. Love the sneak peak!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Kim. I am going to try to get all my painting done this summer. Let you know how it comes out.

ReplyDeleteEvery room is better for having some blue!
ReplyDeleteKim....I love the new blue paint color addition. What is up with the tease on the pillows? I LOVE that fabric.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the reveal :)
Happy belated Mother's Day to you!

You are such a pro at these paint jobs. Pretty pillows too!
ReplyDeleteLooking real good kim. Love the rooster.
ReplyDeleteOh man..that looks like the perfect amount of layers!
ReplyDeleteI'm a lover of blue, so it's the perfect transformation in my book. Love how you were able to create that aged layer look!

Yep, lots of layers, and I love it Kim!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...as always.
ReplyDeletePerfect, I really am enjoying seeing all the blue touches. I think I may have to get some of those blue ASCP colors. Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'm liking the peek!!
ReplyDeleteYou little silly! Your paint job looks great and I'm loving those pretty fabrics you're teasing us with.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Always teasing us ... look forward to seeing more. And, I love the new layer of paint ... wonderful choice.
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh. And my husband thinks I change thing around a lot, too. Sometimes, I move things just to see if he will notice (and he does ;o) I'm into blue right now, too. Love that fabric in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous, fabulous job.

ReplyDeletexo, Sherry
That turned out so pretty! Love the blue added to that cabinet.
ReplyDeleteKim, I really like the finish on this piece. I'm a big fan of blue, too. What's not to love?
ReplyDeleteKim - that is the most beautiful blue patina I've ever seen! I just love it. My next two ASC paints are going to be LB and GB! Thank you for the inspiration!!! :)

I am trying to remove the blue...but I am stuck with blue carpet for now.....
ReplyDeleteYour doors look great...

Wow, Kim, you sure did nail the look we are all trying to create. You did an incredible job. Love the blues too.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at anyone who just gets up and starts to paint! What courage you have! I love that shade of blue. ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteI bet the TV also appreciates you sprucing up the insides of your cabinet from time to time! I think the blue is lovely!
ReplyDeleteKat
Loved this and so glad I found your blog through Carla! I have so wanted to carry this paint in my shop and hopefully can one day! I at least want to try it out! Love what you did to your piece of furniture and I definitely love the layers!

Love this new "layer". Perfect! I have been a rather silent reader and can't wait to see your colors for your sunroom! Love, Me www.youaretalkingtoomuch.com
ReplyDeleteKim...your cabinet just spoke to me too..."He" (well you know it has to be of that gender as it is a "TV" cabinet)..
ReplyDeleteHe said he just loves his new duds...as blue is definitely for boys...
And for me...I am speaking on behalf of myself..I LOVE the color!!...You did a fantastic job creating that chippy look....and love your sneak peek!!....
Kim...you crack me up! But you know I love all your Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ touches in your home....beautiful as always!

such an awesome look, kim! love this!
ReplyDeleteI like the red ticking with the accompanying fabric, but what do I really like? The two crates inside the tv cabinet. They are perfect there.
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
Love it! Oh, the power of paint! I'm off from work next week so I'll be painting like crazy. Now where can I purchase the Annie Sloan paint? Do they carry it in stores? I've never tried it.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue, but then again, blue is my favorite color :)
ReplyDeleteKim, I am loving the addition of blue to this room, and you did a great job with the addition of the ASCP blues to your cabinet!
ReplyDeleteI tell you what, you are one ambitious woman! Do you ever sit still? You ought to bottle that energy! I'd buy some! ;-)
