Console

When we moved into our New Home in March of 2006, we didn't bring or move much of anything from Hubby's old house.  We had a Huge Moving Sale and sold nearly everything.  We wanted to start out fresh in our new home.  So, we ordered everything and had most everything delivered within the first couple days of our move.  One item was delivered about 2 weeks later...

and it was so pretty.  The console that you see in the right of the photos below.  Since Red was my accent color then...it was a great addition to our Great Room.

Then as I changed things around and changed out the red for other, more muted tones,

the Console needed a new treatment.  This was in 2008.  Before I'd heard of Chalk Paint - 

just shortly after I started blogging.

I began by spray painting the entire console with Black Paint.

  

Then I mixed a Glaze of Bronze and Gold and applied it in a horizontal way across the top

of the console and the front of the cabinet. 

Perhaps you're wondering why the doors look different.

After applying the glaze on the doors, I took a cloth and stippled the glaze, allow some

small patches of the black to show through.  It turned out perfect!

Well, Almost Perfect!  I knew something was missing and then one day,

the little cabinet spoke to me and asked me to "dress" her up!

So, out came the Fleur-de-Lis stencil and black paint and before I knew it,

all 3 doors had a Fleur-de-Lis stenciled on it.

Then, of course, I added a little "Bling" with stick on Jewels!!

What do you think?  Isn't it perfect?
