I am feeling such a sense of accomplishment and joy having completed the office. It is light and airy and pretty! I have a small amount of guilt giving my husband only a corner. His space isn’t dolled up with pink accessories and boy, is he happy about that. He just needs a more organized desk and I would possibly photograph it, but not til then 😉 .
This armoire was the last piece to complete the office makeover. I follow, and swoon over, @bvintagestyle on Instagram. I drew my inspiration from her magnificent hutch in her living room.
Inspiration: Photo taken by Deborah @bvintagestyle Head on over to her blog: bvintage.ca and be inspired!!
She used a combination of Country Chic Paint – Simplicity, Icicle, and Tropical Cocktail, and did a whitewash over the top. The hutch was originally dark wood. When I saw this, it just screamed beachy to me and I love turquoise, so I was in awe. That was months ago, so when I decided to paint my armoire, I immediately thought back to this piece.
I had almost the entire quart of paint left over from my Kitchenaid Mixer makeover. In my mind, I knew that color was going to be close to the color I coveted in Deborah’s piece. The paint I used was purchased from Ace Hardware and they were able to mix Sherwin Williams Meander Blue, paint and primer in one and I, too, did a whitewash over the top with Annie Sloan’s Pure White Chalk Paint. The color may not be an exact match, but it is definitely the look I was going for and I was able to use what I already had, so thumb’s up!
I already knew I loved my decision with the first coat!
This is the finished second coat, and I wanted to photograph it next to my white buffet to show you the color contrast, because it truly is very light in color. Honestly, the lighting, overall in the office is terrible for photographing purposes, so I tried and tried in order to capture the true essence of this pretty color.
This is after I applied the whitewash, but before I changed out the ugly knobs!
I found these gems at Hobby Lobby, they fit in perfectly with the other gold accents.
Another thing checked off my list. What about you?! Now that summer is here, what projects have been keeping you all busy?
Be sure to check back next week! I will be featuring the talented lady who fabricated a custom slip cover for our loveseat 😉 .
