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 chest of drawers started in Pine, which I have had many years. And... quite a few years ago, I decided to paint it in my own 'French Antique Style'. And... of course, I suppose I'm like most creative people - I like a change. As I have changed a lot of colour schemes in my home over the years, this piece of furniture was also ready for another change.
All I needed to start painting on this chest of drawers was to sand it down very slightly and then I added two coats of Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint in Paris Grey on the base of the chest. Then I decided to add some of Annie Sloan's Pure White to the Paris Grey - to make it a bit lighter, as I wanted a 'two tone' look for the drawers. Then I completed the look by changing the knobs and replaced the old ones with a set of nice glass ones.
