After years of painting, I’ve found the perfect Green…

I’ve been painting furniture for seven years now and I have to be honest, it’s a tough game. Furniture refinishing is never a monotonous job. The furniture styles are different, and the issues on each piece are never the same. It’s rare that I have a piece that needs little to no work. But once you start working on it and chipping away at the repairs and prep you start to get into this groove where you know you’re doing something good not just for the environment, but also for the history of the piece.

This blog post is going to be short, but I’m going to include a few photos to entice you into clicking over to the Fusion Mineral Paint website so you can see the step-by-step transformation on this piece. Ill include a supply list for you here so you can complete a similar project. as well!

All my furniture artist friends know that excited feeling when the time comes for paint. It means the piece is almost finished and the fun part about painting is actually seeing the transformation. Over the years I have painted in almost every color their is, but one color in particular I can never seem to get enough of is Olive Green. Surprisingly, I use this color the least in my lineup. I guess I just have high standards for the color or I can never find the right piece for it. And as with whites, there are many many many…..many shades of green. But time and time again I always say the perfect green is Fusion Mineral Paints earthy, warm green called Bayberry.

I decided for this project to use it on something unexpected. A french provincial piece:

Not many would have picked this color for this style of furniture. French provincial style furniture pieces are often adorned with whites, pinks and blues. I thought a good way to dress this up and make it more of a masculine piece was to use Bayberry. Topped with vintage gold hardware, this finish turned out to be quite the showstopper.

Supply List:

• Fusion TSP Alternative + Wiping Cloths
• Fusion Mineral Paint “Bayberry”
• Fusion Mineral Paint  Metallics “Vintage Gold”
• Fusion “Ageing Wax”
• Staalmeester Round Brush
• Artist Brush

Are you a fan of the more neutral look on French Provincial? And can we talk about that color?! Bayberry is one of the most underrated paint colors on the Fusion line and if you ask me, I need to use it more. It can lean so many ways with masculine and feminine styles and it definitely is a statement color but not obnoxious at all.

Now that you’ve gotten a sneak peek at this project, I’m going to send you over to the Fusion Mineral Paint blog for the full STEP-BY-STEP process and to see the entire transformation from start to finish!
