Dresser in Aubusson & Duck Egg Blue Mix

This dresser was purchased from Craig's List and painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  I mixed approximately two parts Aubusson Blue and one part Duck Egg Blue.  The mirror was purchased from Hobby Lobby several years ago and painted with the same mix of paint.

I usually take photos of my furniture outside where the light is better, but I thought I'd try an inside shot today.  Taking inside photos is difficult in our house (or maybe it's the photographer).  We have a lot of windows but also a lot of tall trees outside, which tends to darken the interior and/or cause glare.  Like I said, not the easiest place to take photos.

The top was stripped and stained with Minwax Dark Walnut.  AS clear wax was used as the final step.

I think I'm getting better at distressing.  I always knew the look I loved, but it was still hard to sand off what was just painted.  However, it's getting easier.

As you can see, I love all things blue and green, from painted furniture to glass and other collectibles.
