Shabby Chic Altered Chest by Trudy Sjolander
Posted by Trudy Sjolander on Jan 1st 1970
Hi everyone!
True :D here :)
I'm a card artist at heart, but every now and then I like to mix it up a bit!
I saw this ugly chest at the dollar store and just had to buy it!
I knew with some pretty paper, flowers, and bling, that it could be a beautiful accent for one of our guest rooms.
First I gesso-ed the trim to start with a clean slate (sort of... I left some brown showing on purpose), then used lots of acrylic paints, mists, and my fingers to get an aged "painted and re-painted over the years" look.
Looks old to me...what do you think?
I added some paper, flowers, some White Finesse Swirls and White Pearls from Want2Scrap and viola!
The lighting in the guest room isn't prime for photos so the color is off, but can you see how well it matches the decor?
Thanks so much fro dropping by today!
I would love it if you left me a little ♥♥♥ before you go! :)
Hugs!
