DECORATIVE IDEAS
Hi my name is Denise Hardy and I love everything in connection with the home i.e. Interior Design, Hand Painting Furniture, Decorative Painting Techniques and Art.
I live in Alicante, Spain with my husband in a beautiful villa which we both love and work hard on making it our home. I have been established in creating beautiful homes since 1998 and never get tired of doing what I do.
This was a project I was asked to do by a friend. She wanted to update her bedroom. Apart from re-vamping the headboard and the cupboard shown in the photos below - I also freshened up a drawer unit and a small table that she has in there. But with those two pieces I just painted them white using Dulux Quick Drying Eggshell in White. They were cream but we thought painting them white would also help to 'freshen' up the room.
I painted the headboard and cupboard first using 2 coats Zinsser 123 Primer and 2 coats of Rustoleum Chalk Paint in Dusky Pink, then made my own black glaze to put on top. I didn't put a primer on the 2 bedside cabinets as they were a cream so didn't really need any primer, specifically because I used the Chalk paint.
