Provincial Buys – Do It Yourself

Question – What Paint Colors Work With French Provincial Furniture ?

 

Amy Marshall

 

Suzanne Desuyo Salvitti

 

Question : Was wondering what are popular colors now in style, about to paint a French Provincial chest of drawers and nightstand? Was thinking turquoise but didn’t know if that color was still in? Your opinions appreciated

Becky – There’s so much regional variation in what’s popular, but if I was going to do a turquoise, I would lean more toward a muted teal, sort of along the lines of Benjamin Moore’s color of the year- Aegean Teal. Country Chic has a color I want to try- Jitterbug, which is a sophisticated muted teal. Colors like Fusion’s French Eggshell sell really well for me on french provincial furniture.

Owen – The clue is in the word, French!

Becky – I see French Provincial painted in all sorts of colors successfully, but I think that French Eggshell is a such a subtle and versatile color that it sells well on lots of styles.

Pam – Depends on the style but people seem to like stripes no matter what the color is. Pantones 2021 colors are a deeper yellow (mustard) and medium gray.

Rachel – I’ve been doing this for 10 years. I paint how I feel, I use color! I don’t follow trends.

Isabel – Navy is very big now

Krystal – I hear baby blue’s. I think it’s going to be different every where. Some people are still stuck on Farmhouse style too and last year was Bohemian from articles I read

Jessica – Sold fast Can’t go wrong with White

Monica – White is definitely the quickest seller for me. But French Blue and Gray are tied for second.

Stacey – A mineral blue many shades are now great

Lisa – If you want to sell it quickly -White. I know it’s dull but it always sells.

Lana – I think Navy, Black and white

Paula – Turquoise is over here

Lisa – I’m doing lots of dark blues, white and black

Cheryl – It depends where you live. Unfortunately, where I am it’s basically grey, white, black. Every once in a while we do different colors and wait for the right person to come along.

Marcie – I’ve tried doing colors but they take me a long time to sell. Things I paint white sell right after posting them.

Amy – Lavender, teal, light blue or gray

Alexis – I will be honest, not an “in” color anymore, peaked about 5 years ago. But if you like it and it goes with your decor, who cares? And that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t sell. Other “jewel” tones are popular right now like green and blue (dark).

Question – What Is The Best Sealer For Rub On Transfers?

 

maikadaughters.com

Kriss asks :  What have you found to be the best sealer for rub on transfers?

 

  • Angela – Just use a water based top coat. I’ve use fusion tough coat, GF high performance, varathane Diamond and all are great.
  • Roz – Polycrylic.
  • Carla – I just use the spray poly. But I use satin. Not fond of Matte.
  • Debbie – Dixie Belle clear coat
  • Peggy – I would have said polycrylic at one time. But now I have a love/ hate relationship with the stuff. I’m planning to try polyvine. My transfer is over a glaze that dries shinier than I expected and I want to get rid of the shine.
  • Vonda – Tough Coat by Fusion. Also there’s a compatibility problem with Gator Hide by Dixie Belle- do not use.
  • Vonda – I use a damp sponge. Works great! I’m an IOD Retailer so I’ve done lots of transfers using Tough Coat.
  • Vonda – I use the inexpensive auto sponges. I ordered these from Amazon.
  • Kiellie – I like Miss Lillian’s Luster line. No issues with it and the transfers
  • Jordana – I have used Wise Owl varnish or one hour enamel and it was great.
  • Patrick – Earth Safe Finishes Varnish.
  • Leslie – I use wise owl furniture salve over transfers.
  • Stacy – You shouldn’t use wax over a transfer. It breaks down the transfer
  • Cora – I loved how Fusion Stain and Finishing Oil in White looked on this tray. Softened the colors of the transfers, gave the paint a glaze and a tough as nails finish.
  • Tallie – Polyacrylic

Tough Coat by Fusion – Amazon

 

Here are some matte finish brands ( below ) I have not tried.  My go-to finish has always been the polycrylic line.  ( The products above in blue ).  The reason for that, is over time I found that my white furniture yellowed with other products.  Additionally, when I would leave glasses of water on my furniture, it was the ONLY line that repelled the water and did not leave a water stain.  Some of the other matte brands did.  Even the matte finishes I used outside left horrible stains.  The polycrylic brand can be used on wood as well.

Here are a couple brands below I have not tried.  I suggest trying them on a few products that can be re-purposed later if they the product ruins the transfer, or wood, yellows or bubbles.

One of the holes I have found in finding a matte product, was the spray application.  I like a nice and even finish, and spray is what gives me that look.  I also prefer matte over satin because as you view the furniture on the side, you won’t see any lines, creases or wrinkles in your project.

“I’m still learning about who Hubert de Givenchy was by being in this space,” says Olivier, who was also Philippe’s godson. Olivier spoke to the couple almost every day, and when he visited Le Jonchet, they’d stroll the grounds together. Later in life, Hubert would go over repairs done (the roof) and yet to be done (the boiler), giving Olivier a pointed look.

French Styled Furniture For Your Home – Vintage Or Antique ? What Do You Like?

French Provincial is a style of furniture you will never get tired of. Its often decorated with ornate carvings, and curvy frames.

I prefer the heavily distressed pieces which give some character than the solid painted frames. While white is quite popular, gray, or a muted shade can give an antiqued appearance.

Raw Distressed Reproduction French Furniture For Your Home

 

 

I stumbled on a website that offers European styled distressed furniture that would perfectly outfit a home decorated around the French or Swedish styles we all love.

The site is called Antique Farmhouse.

What I love about this website is practically every piece they offer for sale is heavily distressed or left in it’s raw wood.  Even when shopping on amazon or ebay, sometimes I find it difficult to find a piece which is either painted, or heavily distressed, or has that worn look that we find with antiques.  Do you love my favorite picks?

French Designer Jane Moore Gives Her Top 3 Tips She Designs Around

Veranda had an article asking European Designer Jane Moore her top tips for design. Here is what she said:

1. Tip From Jane Moore – The OPPOSITE EFFECT

Let your environment help you make decisions about your interior design.

” I have always lived in Houston, where it is very hot and humid. As a result, I always pick cool colors that come from nature—soft blues, greens, grays—because when I come in out of the heat, I want to be refreshed. ”

Why this design advice works is your outside environment plays a very major role in your life. If your missing the elements from the outside that you crave, bring them into the house which you spend the rest of your time. If you live in a cold climate, warmer accessories might be something to invest in. Perhaps velvet pillows in deep shades of rust instead of blue and green.

What do you think? Great tip?

2. Tip From Jane Moore – EDIT

As you mature in your life and design, edit to what you love the most, and remove the rest.

It can be hard to give up something that you spent a lot of money on earlier in your life, or a piece that is hard to find. As you get older, you find that the pieces that really don’t match your style can drag down the appearance of your home. The clutter shines a spotlight on things you don’t even like anymore.

Take a good hard look at the pieces you own. Showcase the nicest pieces in your home, and you will find your eyes are always drawn to them, than the pieces that you keep saying… “I need to get rid of that”.

“I started my career doing almost all English, but as I grew to love the Provençal and Swedish aesthetics, I let go of those English things, even though I still loved them.

“The same goes for people with a lot of bright, colorful pieces who want to transition to something serene and neutral.”

3. Tip From Jane Moore – FOR YOU ONLY

Buy For Yourself And Not For Someone Else.

Live in your moment, not in someone else’s.

“Those before us—grandmothers, mothers, friends—had their time to enjoy what they loved, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we have to love it, too.”

‘Oh, someday my daughter will love it, or my granddaughter will love it,’ Then I thought, ‘No. I love it, and if they choose not to have it in their homes someday, that’s all right.’

This happens all the time. You pick up something for someone else, and you think they will love it, but they never really do. It becomes wasted money, but your feelings get hurt in the process. Let other people hunt down their own treasures, as in the end, often times its the hunt that is thrilling. Even if you exactly match what they are after, most people don’t pull the plug on those finds, and you end up wasting your time and energy.

 

4. Tip From Jane Moore – INVEST

Save Your Money For What You Really Like

” Avoid buying what I call ‘fillers.’ Instead, buy only what you absolutely love, what you simply cannot live without. ”

Isn’t this true for buying in general? We tend to come across something locally, and we just purchase it, even though it’s not exactly what we are after. Instead, put the items that really match your vision in your online cart, or hold back until you find exactly what you are after. Highly edited interiors show a distinct style. When you look at the piece, and your not really sold out for it, eventually it will be discarded after you get tired of it anyhow.

6 Biggest Colour Mistakes I’ve Made – Maria Killam

French Provincial Bleached Tall Dresser By Shabby Roots Boutique

This dresser was listed in the SF Bay Craigslist.

From the listing:

Modern farmhouse bleached wood tall dresser French chest of drawers – $1,095 (vallejo / benicia)

Gorgeous natural raw bleached wood tall dresser. This antique French provincial chest of drawers is where rustic meets chic. This piece took me a solid week from start to finish and I’m so thrilled with the way it turned out. This piece was sanded down to bare wood (some of the old finish was left in cracks and crevices on purpose to make it more interesting) the wood was then bleached, and bleached again, and again- white washed, and sealed with some dark wax and white wax for a perfect buttery smooth to the touch matte finish.

This piece is solid wood and features 6 smooth dovetail drawers, stunning wood grain, beautiful curves, moulding and feet, and those striking French hardware pulls with a bronze patina set this piece off perfectly. This piece is truly a one of a kind and won’t last long.
