PAINTED BLACK & METALLIC GOLD CRACKLED CABINETS IN CAROLINA'S GUEST BATH
Carolina was redecorating her guest bathroom.
She had gold fixtures, so she approved
a black crackled and metallic gold special finish.
I painted the cabinets metallic gold, used crackle medium and painted black over all.
There was a niche high up on the wall. She and her husband wanted it to look like you were looking out at the sky. So, I painted the sky and tree tops.
Later, Carolina found this nest and sent me a picture of it in the niche.
I love the way the nest looks with the sky.
This is a closeup of the metallic gold and black crackled finish.
My flash made the pictures look really bright but,
the bathroom is, actually, very dark/very little light and this metallic gold and black finish looks really nice and soft.
I always feel proud when I see my work as a permanent part of a beautiful home.
Thank you, Carolina!
(Lucky me!)
Wow! ....is that striking. Such a great finish!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It looked so pretty with their guest bedroom decor.
DeleteNow that is a finish that will stop you in your tracks and make you take note! You are so talented. Thanx for sharing at THT!
ReplyDeleteThank you and it was "striking". In the right light, the metallic gold would shine through.
DeleteWow now that is super cool. I really enjoyed this inspirational post. I would love it if you would share this post at our WIW linky party? Hope to see you there!

Thank you! When you walk into the bathroom, the first impression is that it is a real window. And, they added a light in the niche, making it look more authentic.
DeleteSo rich and elegant ~ you so wonderful work!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Maggie! These colors really did look nice in their home.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda!
DeleteWow such talent! Love the niche. That's a great idea with the sky- it gives a real sense of looking outdoors. Her bird's nest was a perfect accent. The bathroom vanity is very dramatic and luxurious! I'm envious of people with talent like yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! I love the sky and bird nest idea, too. It was Carolina's idea.
DeleteBeautiful redo. I love the trompe l'oeil niche. Black and gold isn't my thing, but this looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Not my thing for my home, either. But, I have painted it several times for clients and it always looks very, very nice in their homes.
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! The black and metallic gold really are dramatic and so pretty in their home.

Thank you, Jann! It kind of has a mind of it's own. I never know for sure how the crackle will crackle.
DeleteBeautiful! Thanks for linking up to Take it on Tuesday!!
