Aged Shabby Chic Pink Buffet.....

Our repeat client had put in a big order.  She wanted

 us to custom paint 4 pieces of furniture.

 The ivory dresser from previous post was one.

This is the 2nd one.  It was a buffet.

She wanted a shabby chic aged pink look, with some gold

over the details.

Here is the before....

I used Annie Sloan Chalk paint and custom mixed 

colors to get similar color she wanted.  It was very hard to get a close color

as the waxes darken the actual color of the chalk paint.

Plus, chalk paint is hard to match latex paint colors exactly.

It was a lot of layering to get this look...

Added gold detail and aged it all....

Added gold to hardware also...

I loved how it came out, worth all the hard work!
