PAINTING AND DISTRESSING AN OLD CHEST FOR A BATHROOM, GRANITE AND SINK


Kim was building a new home and had me painting lots of furniture, cabinets and ceilings with special finishes.


This old chest was green with a black top.  I primed and painted it to an old, distressed finish.  I painted the trim a dark coffee brown for contrast. 


Kim had everything planned out, all of her colors and a place for everything!  This chest was going in one of her guest baths.  When I finished the painting, it was installed and the granite guys put a beautiful dark granite and sink on it.  (I have photos of that, somewhere! and can't find it.  I'll post it, later.)


I love doing old finishes!  And, I love seeing all the furniture, cabinets and ceilings that I've done, with everything in it's place...furniture, mirrors, accents...the finished product.  It's a very rewarding feeling.  ALWAYS a LOT of work, but very rewarding!!
