Black and Gold

   I love the way the wood looks peeking through the black, and the color of the wood on this beauty was the perfect tone.

So I pulled out my black and got started. This gal is a pretty gal, but she needed to be dolled up, so I chose to do a French graphic from The Graphics Fairy in Gold, and the top in a metallic gold. I added some vintage knobs, and I love how she turned out.


One more after.

best part of doing this project is we got some well needed SNOW! Finally!
View from my deck. I am so blessed.


Clutch Dog was pretty happy for snow as well.

    Thanks, it was not my style, but I get so bored with the traditional. The funny thing is I liked it when I was finished and it looked great in my living room. But fortunately I sold it with in hours of listing and it looked custom in the lovely ladies home. Thank you, for stopping by.I hope you have a wonderful evening.

    That is gorgeous! How did you apply the graphic? Did you project it onto the piece and then free-hand paint it?

      Thanks for stopping by. I have used a ton of different methods for transfers, I always go back tom my handy projector. I usually outline and then paint with out the projector, because it usually gives me some serious neck aches. thanks again, have a great day. Kathryn

    Love the transformation! I never thought of using a projector to do the transfer, what a genius idea! Now I may be able to do something super creative with my daughter's furniture!

    Caught this from pinterest and am in love. Would you share what kind of gold paint you used for this? Hoping you see this since it was from last year. You have an incredible talent.
