Big Mama

By Upcycled and Reloved in Haledon, NJ.

When I saw this Jacobean sideboard I knew I had to have it!! It"s such an enormous piece and the small details are amazing, so I knew I had to do it justice. I tackled this piece by painting it with Virtual Taupe, as I kept painting ideas were coming out. I started lightly dry brushing black all over the piece and then it came to me the accent parts of this sideboard needed to be painted black. Coming together I ended up dry brushing some more with a custom grey, with my fingers I just started adding some gold. The finished look reaaly looks amazing. This is truly a one of a kind piece!
