Aged Green in Artisan Green House & Liberty
Tax included.
Bold and brights aren't just for contemporary spaces but are also great for creating an aged finish, bringing a beautiful old worldly charm and character into a space as shown with this project. You'll be surprised at how much bright colours like Wendy's Pink, Azure King finisher, Purple Sash could work as an aged decorative Artisan Paint finish. In this example we're showing it to you with Artisan Liberty & Greenhouse. Small pieces like this are great for creative finishes and adding that pop of colour to.
What we did:
Painted in Artisan Liberty using a Pro-hybrid 2020 size 18 for the flat surfaces and a Staalmeester pointed tip on the bevels and the legs of the table and areas with finer detailing. Brushing the paint out & creating texture by generously loading the brush and brushing the paint out in all directions in one and a half coats achieving good full coverage.
Diluted Green House Premium Chalk Paint with water by approximately 15% to thin the paint out (we do this to allow us to wax distress later). Applying one thin coat over Liberty brushing it out thinly in areas where you can still see Liberty coming thorough.
Dark wax : Brushed out dark wax over Green House, rubbing firmly with a clean lint free rag, this allows you to distress some of the greenhouse off as well as wipe any excess wax off. Creating a worn distressed look allowing Liberty to come through in areas. Greenhouse was diluted to create a thin veil over Liberty making this step easy to do. Then go over and apply a thin coat of dark wax in areas you want to accentuate and age further.
Soft gold applied decoratively on the edges and detailing and steel wooled back. Jayda Rose Glaze applied here and there to provide a subtle coppery hue.
Choose your bright and bold colours and age with Artisan dark wax for an old worldly pop of colour...

Battered round entrance table brought to life in Artisan Toulouse & coloured waxes
Tax included.
This project is a great example of how to work with tired, cracked, chipped and battered pieces this table even had evidence of previous failed attempts of repair with glues and nails visible, with no sanding priming or preparation we worked to enhance all the imperfections.
A table painted for @artisanathome to sit like an entrance table on a covered deck . Working with the piece rather than against it, all of the imperfections have been highlighted and brought out with a textured paint finish making it perfectly imperfect as a soft feature piece.
Cracks have been highlighted with gold glaze, holes and chips filled with gold creme, leading your eye to all the imperfections and choosing these details to sit loud and proud.
An Artisan distressed and aged paint finish has given this table a new lease on life withholding a stunning old worldly charm in soft blues and greens. Artisan Colours selected to sit perfectly on the deck connecting with the garden outlook and sea views visible from the deck that it will sit on.
What we did:
Painted in Artisan Toulouse Premium Chalk Paint, using a Staalmeester 2020 pro hybrid brush in size 18 and 20 for the top as well as a pointed tip for the legs and barley twist. Painting in all directions for Subtle texture
Light sand on table top once dry in areas to remove unwanted texture
Coloured Wax in a strong Dusky Fields mix, followed by a stronger mix of Liberty Coloured Wax to overpower the Dusky Fields in areas.
Artisan Dark wax over the top, rubbing firmly with a clean lint free rag to remove age and pull back layers of coloured waxes exposing Toulouse Blue.
Finley gold glaze in cracks and selected areas, Soft Gold Metallic Creme in chips and edges followed by steel wool in areas as well as 24 grit sandpaper to distress and pull back the metallics and layers.

Commissioned Bedsides in Obsidian Blue with Carbon Black
Tax included.
A beautiful showcase of how a decorative paint finish in Artisan paints & products can provide a complete update and new interpretation of a piece of furniture, taking a bedside table with a simple design and transforming it into a bespoke feature piece.
Fully functional bedside tables with runners on the drawers and the right sizing for the bedroom, the only thing with these bedsides was that they no longer worked with newly re-decorated room. Our client wanted us to revive these bedsides to fit in with the new look and style of the room and in particular connect it with the bespoke hand painted feature piece she purchased from us that was sitting on the opposite side of where these bedsides would be. So we came up with a concept to suit the look and style of the room she was looking to achieve creating a balance of classic contemporary whilst creating a piece that would work in cohesively with the set of drawers.
Using Obsidian Blue and deepening this further with Carbon Black creates a richness mood and luxurious look and feel to it especially when contrasted with Artisan Metallic gold on the handles. We replaced and refitted the handle, choosing a design that drawers the eye to it , a ornate traditional design giving a little nod to the piece sitting across from it. A beautiful balance of classic contemporary, without being "matchy" allowing them to sit strongly on their own to frame the bed as well as working in cohesively with the existing piece in the room.
What we did:
Hand painted In Obsidian Blue
Lightly sanded surface with 240 grit for minimal texture
Waxed in Carbon Black wax
Edges gilding in Artisan Gold
Handles refitted and replaced. The handles have been painted in Carbon Black Chalk Paint followed by Artisan Classic Gold Creme
