Our latest Faux Finish project is coming along very well. As with all of these projects, there is a point where I look at the piece and go, 'Um.....really? How is that going to look not weird?' But then the work progresses and I start seeing the vision of our Faux Finish Visionaire start to come come alive.
We began by mixing our own custom creamy yellow base color, which we applied to the side panels on this cabinet, and to the frame sections on it's doors. We also applied this color to 4 sections of a coffee table that is going to co-ordinate. After applying the base, The doors and the coffee table also received a coating in select areas of a Bayberry green color which you can see very well in the doors above. The side panels have had a Red Pepper color rubbed into the cracks and crevices, followed by a Van Dyke glaze. It looks very cool. The coffee table and doors also have had a Van Dyke glaze overall, which give them such a neat aged look.
I have gotten past the 'that looks weird' stage, to the 'wow, that looks cool' stage and am looking forward to seeing these completed! What do you think of these color effects?
