Goodbye Orange

Today we decided to update our kitchen units. As you can see from the photo some of them were actually orange!

The carcase was painted in Eulalies Sky and the drawers were lightened by mixing Miss Mustard Seed Linen.Each of the three drawers were lightened in turn by adding half a measure per drawer to the original mixture.

The top of the units were treated with Miss Mustard Seed White Wax to give a “limed oak” effect.As they are going to get quite a bit of use the units were given several coats of paint and likewise with the wax.

We also decided to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ on the island in the centre of the room.

We decided to use pastel colours and this meant using a custom mix. The bottom drawer is a mix of yellow and old white. The middle drawer is a mix using a discontinued colour called Celadon green and Old White. The top drawer is a mix of Emperor’s Silk and Old White.
So goodbye orange and hello multi coloured kitchen – light bright and different!

Annie Sloan Emperor’s Silk Chalk Paint

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint – Emperor’s Silk

Annie Sloan Emporer’s Silk is a bright pure red similar to the red silk lining of a jacket. We love it and it is great to put in an interior of a cupboard or a drawer.Even better when it has dark wax added to it. It is named after the red of China.

It is also possible to add old white to this to create a wonderful rose-pink.
A wonderful colour to use as a base coat colour but even more impressive on its own.The picture above is a piece we did a while ago which had dark wax applied directly to it. (rules are breaking!!). If you are in the Deux Sevres why not pop in and see us. Please note that we are very close to the Vienne and Charente borders so you have no excuse.
