Hand Painted Cobalt and White Furniture Makeover Inspired By Mexico Accented with an Otomi Print

Who doesn't LOVE a blue and white color palette?!?! 

It's a classic combo but I had to add some edge to this makeover. 

This is #3 in my "Doors" Series, Part II. I've sold out of every piece so there may just have to be a Part III!!

I used Oxford, Steamer Trunk and Ol' Navy from Heirloom Traditions Paint again for this makeover. The Oxidized Patina wax, once again, gave this finish just the right amount of oomph! 

Sky Soarer knobs and bowls from Anthropologie.

This is the door that inspired this colour palette and finish.  I really tried to recreate a worn and weathered look. I can't really explain how much fun this was to paint. I turned in to a 6 year old pretty quickly! Pinterest is a wonderful source for beautiful images, don't you think? I have a board titled, "Doors", if you are interested in following along. 

I know, I really pushed the envelope here, but it was necessary here.  This maple buffet was just so drab. Otomi paper from Spoonflower. It's also available in a multi colored print.

I have to tell you, this buffet gave me over 900 views on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris in 24 hours!! That, my friends, is AMAZING!! You guys are awesome.

Thanks as usual and have a lovely week!

p.s. I have a mustard yellow door on my brain...

Vintage Buffet in China Blue and Creme

I painted this vintage buffet as a custom order piece in Benjamin Moore's, China Blue. I think it will compliment her black table and chairs beautifully.  I'm ready for her to have a look!!

The creme detail really highlights the charm of this piece of furniture.

Black and creme porcelain knobs replaced the old rinky-dink ones that were there originally.

Well, I love this even more than I expected! Hope you all have a happy summer weekend!

Vintage Dresser in Cobalt Chevron

Inspired by our family marlin, I painted this piece in Benjamin Moore's "Ole Blue Eyes".

I love the way the original bronze hardware perfectly compliments this shade of blue. And, the chevron...well, it's just cool!

This is paper applied to the drawers.  It's actually navy and white, but the blue pulls a brighter color when paired together. My 8 year old actually advised me on which drawers to cover and which to paint:)  I love his input! 

Hope you all enjoy the Dad's in your lives today!  

Have fun!!
