Pearl Blue and Red Painted Furniture- A Paint Workshop

We had another fun furniture painting workshop last month. We made new friends and shared furniture painting ideas along with celebrating a birthday

I’m starting with the after photos this time. Jeannie selected a soft blue for her dresser makeover. The paint almost had a pearly sheen to it.

The original hardware was painted with Martha Stewart Metallic Paint. Jeannie decided to put a clear gloss finish on the dresser after the blue paint cured for a few days, so we held off with putting all the hardware on.

Charles drove up from Nashville to paint with us. He chose Caromal Colours Candy Apple Red for his bookshelf then added some stenciling. We also teach stenciling and metal leafing techniques in the paint class. Love the color. Red painted furniture is bold and sassy.

Angela did a great job on this chest. She also used the Candy Apple Red and then did some moderate to heavy distressing on the piece. She’s going to get finish off the chest with some sports themed pulls. The chest will be perfect in her son’s room

The day of the workshop was Jeannie’s birthday. We raised our glasses for a toast while she was hard at work. We love presenting the workshops and making new friends or painting with old friends! Do ya’ll have a local shop that carries furniture painting supplies and gives workshops? Or maybe you teach workshops. Please share. You can leave a comment below.
