I wanted to show you something I’ve been working on. I hope you get the idea because the light in the photos isn’t great: this bookcase (originally varnished wood) became a completely new item by using the combination of Annie Sloan’s Barcelona Orange and Country Grey both whitened with Old White.
I won’t lie to you, it was a hard job. The top bit was really tiring plus I had to paint in a difficult position as the wall was to my left and I’m right-handed… that’s what you get when dealing with a built-in piece of furniture. I initially sanded it and applied some primer but I got my ASCP order sooner than expected, so I took the risk and painted the structure and shelves in Country Grey whereas background and details went orange. I didn’t feel like having it too bright but it really needed some light and protagonism and I thought orange is quite bright a colour but would fade behind the books on the shelves.
I applied a few layers of paint and then used clear wax to fix the paint. The wax always makes the paint become darker and I think it gives a less natural look, but if you want ASCP to last, you have to apply the wax. That being said, ASCP colour range is amazing, so tasteful and more elegant than any other paint I have seen… it’s definitely worth it!
Hope you like it!
See you soon!
Laura
