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!
