Love the color

11 years ago

Nice job! What color did you use? Did you use an underneath color or is that the original stain of the chest showing? Clear of dark wax? Just starting to get involved with the Annie Sloan product!

thanks Kim...I am so glad you love Chalk Paint® decorative paints by Annie Sloan..you can do so much with the paint. Ok now for this piece.yes I used Paris Gray underneath- in the areas that I wanted to distress or rub back as some call it. the final color is graphite which is not a black as you can see but a slate to dark gray color. I then used clear wax and then dark wax. What colors have you used as yet?

I would select one or two colours max (complimentary colours are easier to work with) and then combine this with more natural or neutral finishes so either woods, stone, white or grey (cold grey will look generally more contemporary or warm greys will be a bit more comforting)

Front Door Paint Colour
Q

There's probably a lot of houses nearby that have similar colours in the brick and similar doorways so wander around and see if any inspire you. I like a muted mid-green against the brick. Blues (and teals) also look good with the orange brick. You've got to make sure the colour isn't too 'clean' though (so not a clean baby blue) as the render and brick are both 'dirty'/muted colours. I'd prefer to see something either paler or more colourful - but nothing too dark as it just turns the space into a black hole (like your neighbours). Another option is to paint the woodwork around the door a pale neutral and then just paint the actual door the colour - it'll stick out more that way rather than blend into the background. I agree with you on the black windowsills - they are making the windows appear smaller and look like bags under the eyes of the house. It does tie in the black from the woodwork on the gable end though and keeps it in keeping with the neighbours - would you consider painting all the woodwork on the front of the house?

I think the tiles make the room look authentic. With the new decor they seem to blend in. However I appreciate that the photo’s aren’t a close up of the tiles 😂. I still reckon you should spend the money on something else!
