SK's Pine To Copper



Whoopee. A cheap $50 pine armoire.  My first conception drawing
 


The texture is called WoodFrosting: http://www.woodicing.com/ it's fabulous to use with stencils. I actually did the whole cabinet this time as I wanted the old texture of corroded copper.
I used curtain finials for feet. Sanded them lightly and painted to match the cabinet.

My paints are a combination of Annie Sloan Chalk paint and Modern Masters oxidizing paint:

           Actually watching paint dry. It's fun to watch the oxidizing take place.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The little mirrors are plain glass cut and painted with mirror paint and antiqued. I then framed them in decorative wood.
Such an amazing texture.
       I used antique metal door knob plates and new crystal knobs.
 


This feels and looks like real antique copper. Amazing stuff...
       
Thanks for joining in the fun.
