A beautiful commission project for our client, adding a special touch to this sentimental family piece which will be welcomed back into the home as a feature in the bedroom. Transforming an old, highly Varnished Mahogany set of drawers using the Artisan Metallic Alchemy system. Enhancing the curves and all the lines with this highly luminous finish that adjusts constantly to lighting and it's surrounding. Now a completely unique and bespoke piece, revived and re-designed especially for our client.
What we did:
Painted the entire dresser in Starling Premium Chalk Paint x2 coats directly over the varnish. Colour wash in Carbon Black (diluting premium chalk paint in carbon black with water, brushing over and wiping back) to provide movement in the overall metallic finish.
Sanded all the texture down to create a silky smooth finish with 240 grit sand paper
Legs and bottom of the drawers then painted in Indie Gold (using the metallic alchemy system) going full strength and feathered up.
The rest of drawers in Milan Moonshadow feathered down and over the Indie Gold to create a soft blend and fade
Artemis Bronze feathered in between Milan Moonshadow and Indie Gold for a softer more gradual fade.
Edges in forgotten gold metallic glide, and handles in Indie Gold
