If I could give you a window into both my HEART and SOUL…..you would see this.

A world full of dreamy colorful furniture….both bold and playful….dressed with ALL my favorite patterns…..dipped in gilded gold……and sitting proudly on a dancing pair of curvy stout legs!

The first steps are the most important though. Clean with White Lightning!

I also used BOSS in White on this piece to block odors, stains, and stop bleed thru.

How To:

This piece is base coated in a freestyle painting technique that I refer to as color washing.

It is NOT perfect! There are no rules!! It is very liberating for me to be able to express myself in such a way. Just throwing color down and letting it move where it wants to without any form of control!

When you have a piece filled with patterns and colors and chaos….stripes help to balance and calm and ground the piece. I love the addition of the Soft Pink and Honky Tonk Red stripes….and of course the Drop Cloth and Caviar (black and white) touches ALL OVER!
