Graphite and French Linen Buffet

Here's one of my favorite pieces so far, and wouldn't you know it . . . I only had my camera phone and the worst lighting possible to gets photos!! So, I'm afraid these aren't the best photos, but I think you'll catch a glimmer of the prettiness of this piece . . .

 Painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint 3/4 Graphite 1/4 French Linen and heavily distressed back to highlight the original dark wood stain.
I then added 3 coats of dark wax, dry brushing the wax for a heavily antiqued look.  Not sure if that makes sense--but I WANTED to see the dark wax variegated, not completed smooth. I felt this added extra texture and depth to the final finish.






This was a custom order, and so it is not for sale.
