One aspect of painting projects I really enjoy is collaborating with clients to create a new look. On this makeover, Susan knew she wanted a bold statement piece in an eclectically-decorated baby nursery. We created a custom turquoise color using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Greek Blue and Florence (1:1 ratio).
Playing around with colors.... custom turquoise on the top half, and Florence on the bottom. We decided the Florence was a little too green. Adding the Greek Blue made a vibrant turquoise. Susan's idea!
Sorry to all you antique lovers -- this incredible piece is gonna look a little different!
Here is the painted piece. Looks amazing, but time to think even more outside the box.
For an extra pop, we selected a vibrant custom-printed wallpaper to line the back of the bookshelf. The etsy vendor was super easy to work with. Check them out at http://www.popdecors.com.
I had a single strip of wallpaper to work with, as well as an antique piece that wasn't necessarily "square." After measuring, remeasuring, and losing a bit of sleep anticipating the wallpaper placement, I woke one morning with the needed confidence....
