Packing Company laughed at me when I told them that I want to ship this damaged cabinet from US to Poland..I love him from the first view and I exactly knew what I will turn him to! I saw the potential for beautiful sink vanity for my Farmhouse Style Bathroom. I used GF Stain Blocker for entire Cabinet to prevent bleeding trough and to protect wood from water splashes. I finished body of the cabinet with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Coco and Country Grey. White wash, dry brushing chipping and distressing techniques were used to achieve this look.

I am in love with Grey...any shade of it.. I agree with Paul Klee who said: "For a painter Grey is the richest colour. The one that makes all the others speak." When I was working on interior design of my Home Grey was the leading colour I choose for my furniture. Than depending on seasons or my mood I add little home decors in different colors- like pillows or flower vases, candle holders -and let the colors speek.

Idea of Angel Wings on the Headboard of bed was with me for a long time...I just needed Bedframe demeged enough to experiment on it.
I used soft masa clay and molded sculptured and carved each feather by hand and create wings.
Stencil with Quote was custom designed and made for me by Agnieszka HagArt.
I used Miss Lillian's Texture Magic to create background looking like Old World Plaster and to make raised embossed stencil.
