Click photo to enlarge Pauline Charpentier, who has offered up her creative creations to us many times over the years, always surprises me with the next endeavor she presents. What I admire most about Pauline is that she seems to have an instinctive eye for complimentary color and design placement. Whether it's a full room or a single piece of furniture. She does it with such style and elegance. Where many of us sometimes struggle with color, she seems to have a natural knack for combining the most unusual colors in ways and tones that make them seem to suddenly become completely compatible and beautiful together.
Here Pauline first plasters our English Victorian Corner and Border Stencil set on the raised center of the doors, then using the matching border, creates a raised edge around each panel. Using a soft green paint color on the main portion of the chest and then soft brown on the center panels, she faux finished the chest, adding soft sponging over the green with the brown color she used in the center panels to soften it further and give it a bit of visual texture. Enlarge the photo by clicking on it to see that the brown paint is worked well down in to the recesses of the plaster stenciling to bring out it's detail further. Any excess is simply blotted off.
A hint of gold metallic paint is brushed over the central design on the brown panels to add a bit more elegance to the over all make over. I am impressed! And I can just bet that you are as well.
Now that you see what can be done by creative visionaries such as Pauline, doesn't it just make you itch to go find that worn piece of furniture in your own home and perform a bit of paint surgery? Rescue it! Re-do it! Love it!!!!
