Bohemian Hand Painted Floral Armoire Furniture Makeovers

It's getting hot in here!

These are truly pretty as a post card
 and totally pin-worthy. 


I painted both of these armoires with
 ten DIY paint colors and added 
my very personal touch... 
Finger painted flowers. 




Look at her, she's blushing. Pretty girl, right?

#2 
I mean, I adore these so much.
I'm really not trying to sound full of myself but both of these speak to me... better yet, they scream at me. We have a mutual affection for one another. 

This. Is. My. Style.





Both of these have found their forever homes. 
I hope my customers enjoy them even more than I enjoyed creating them.

How Did I Finger Paint Those Flowers?


I am serious! 
How did I get those blobs of paint to look like flowers?

I'm asking you because this was my first time to try this on a furniture makeover. 



So, it went something like this.

I paint on canvas with my buddy, Quitta Allen of All Shabbed Out, during our Friday Night Live on Facebook. We decided to finger paint...sounds easy, right? We started with a black canvas and added our own technique. Mine instantly took on a floral look while Q transformed her into a gorgeous abstract piece.  

That painting sold while I was painting it to one of my live Facebook viewers!

OMG! This turned out pretty okay after all!!

After that night, I found this vintage cabinet.  While I planned it's makeover, Debi Beard of Debi's Design Diary suggested I try that finger painting on a piece of furniture. 

BAM! 

I ran right out to the garage and got started. 

That piece sold almost immediately as well and so it begins...I'm finger painting flowers on everything I can. Actually, I'm teaching classes now on how to achieve this look.
 My next project will have a few falling from the top of an armoire, all the way to the bottom.

I CAN'T WAIT!!
