well, was it worth the wait? srsly. it was not such a hard job as it was a time consuming one. a downside is i have been having major headaches since i painted it. but, i learned a lot. which is probably the most important bit here. i thought several times about how much faster this would be if i had a spray gun, but i started to really like the little imperfections that come with hand application. and i honestly can't wait to get started on a few other pieces i have around here. let's talk about the hardware for second, it cleaned up nicely but i am not sure i love it. i think i want to go a little more modern...my mom and i are going to look at an antiques hardware store at some point in the near future so these will have to do for now. i know i def want brass though..
now i would have loved to have styled it all up for you, but that will take me another several weeks i'm sure. i hope you like it but could really give two shits if you don't. big hugs.
well done....i like the hardware....the color is very nice...congratulations. i wish i could do something like that.
ReplyDeleteI voted for orange...I was wrong. The blue is perfect!!! Love it!!
ReplyDeletei love it! i really like the hardware too, but depends on the look you really want. i check your blog a few times a day b/c not only do you have great taste, you're hysterical! thanks for making me laugh.
ReplyDeleteYou are some piece of work girl...that looks awesome! The blue is so rich and deep and fabulous. Definitely brass, perhaps an "unsealed" brass so that it develops a lovely patina over time...
ReplyDeleteLOVE the color, Jenny! Great job!!
ReplyDeletethanks you guys! you are all so very sweet.
ReplyDeleteand nkp...i spent hours rubbing the patina off! HAHA!!
It is stunning! The color is gorgeous, and the sweet little Fiona on the side - she styles it up perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteKeep the hardware, it looks great!
Want me to come over and style it up for you?

ReplyDeleteme likey.
ReplyDeleteLove the color. Love it. I am inspired to paint a pair of Bombay chest in my guest room that color.
ReplyDeleteI like the hardware. It works. If you run across something that floats your boat more, you will replace it then, right?
I am in love - with your buffet! Fantastic choice on the color and finish, and I kinda dig the old hardware, all polished up - but know you'll do right by her in whatever you pick.
ReplyDeleteWell done, You!!
Oh my god, Jenny, this looks amazing. Even though I voted for orange way back when, I am loving this blue. It was so worth the wait. Pour yourself a drink and bask in your awesomeness. GREAT job!
ReplyDeleteomg, omg, omg... it looks JUST as awesome as I thought it would. Gorgeous Jenny, GORGEOUS! Don't forget to post shots when you finally put it in its home :-) Yaaaay!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the color, love the hardware. It definitely looks much more expensive than a DIY project.

ReplyDeletedamn girl...talk about job well done. i need some help...what steps did you take...i never knew to paint and then sand the paint down until i read your blog...i have a piece i need to start on.
ReplyDeleteI like the original hardware, but what if you gave it a modern look by painting them? Lilac? Or a grassy green/chartreuse?
ReplyDeleteNice job. I am in love with that color. Now I want to paint something.
ReplyDeleteHere's two shits saying I love it, especially your little peanut peeking around the corner. xx
