General Finishes

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. 

This Hutch is the Conversational Piece in my modern Farmhouse kitchen. 

I brought this hutch from the States to Poland praying that this piece of Furniture fit in the space I have imagined for him...and He did!  

This Vanity is part of my Guest Bedroom Set and have Old World finishes look and feel. I was inspired by colors of many old paintings and Icons of Angeles- Gold..Grey Olive/Sage, and blues are the colors used by Lucca Giordano, Raphael , Boticelli to mention few.. I mixed colors on artist palette until I have achive shades I like. Then I used General Finishes Glazes to deepen the colors. I also used Pearl Effects for stencils on the sides of the vanity.. 

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.
