RPK Interiors: Beachy Blue Sideboard
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2015/04/beachy-blue-sideboard.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. When I posted this sideboard on my Facebook. Page, it was a big hit.with lots of lovely comments. I thought maybe you would enjoy reading my process for transforming this one. Let's start with the before:. Pretty piece, gorgeous fluted legs and very beat up top. After some stripping and sanding, the gorgeous mahogany is revealed. I moved forward with my vision.stained top, but what color? It's a combination of General Finishes Persian Blue, and Annie Sloan Louis Blue. I know it mu...

RPK Interiors: July 2014
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 21, 2014. Vintage Buffet from Spiegel. This depression era buffet is handsome and lovely. It had been handed down from grandmother to grandchild, who was retiring to Florida! Refinished top, General Finishes Antique White, some light distressing and General Finishes flat and satin high performance top coats. Simple, but elegant. Thanks for stopping by! Sunday, July 20, 2014. Poor Man's Terracotta Tile - No More! I had always longed for a terracotta tile floor in the kitchen! I must say the "...

RPK Interiors: May 2014

Thursday, May 22, 2014. Provence and Gold = Gorgeous. If you're wondering what has happened to me and my blog.well, it's my photography! It's giving me a fit.I want my pictures to be pretty. Figuring out settings, lighting and editing just don't come easily for me. To find some acceptable pictures and then write about it is becoming a chore. Anyway, I still love painting and if I can write a post every now and then that is helpful to at least one person, then the 'chore' is so worth it! I added just a sm...

RPK Interiors: January 2015

Thursday, January 8, 2015. Evening Plum by General Finishes. Happy New Year to all of you! It's been awhile since I've shared a post. Since much of my work is similar in nature, it doesn't make sense to keep posting the same ole same ole. But this transformation brought about some good learnings for me, and hopefully you'll find something worthwhile in this post to help you with a future project. I forgot to get a good 'before' picture.This is the best I have.sorry! After running into poor coverage issue...

RPK Interiors: Learning to Reupholster - Thank You, Rachel!
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2015/02/learning-to-reupholster-thank-you-rachel.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Learning to Reupholster - Thank You, Rachel! A few years ago I snapped up this French accent chair from a thrift store. I loved the gorgeous detail on the back and legs and thought I could make it prettier.one of these days. But it sat, and sat, and sat. And then came along the lovely and talented Rachel from Shades of Blue. She wrote the most wonderful tutorial on reupholstering French chairs. You can read all about it here:. I love, love, love the finish! I was afraid to cut...

RPK Interiors: My Wells Secretary
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-wells-secretary.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. So I finally decided to give it a relove. Unfortunately I forgot to take a "Before" picture, but here are the completed transformation pictures:. I added the applique to the door that pulls down. I thought it would add some visual interest. Additionally, I replaced with 'bat wing' style pulls with these sweet white knobs from Hobby Lobby. I used a base coat of French Linen and then blended Duck Egg and Paris Gray, with a smidge of Old White to create a mottled finish. I follow your...

RPK Interiors: June 2014
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. Toning Down Bright Colors. I picked up a great set of Kling solid hard rock maple bedroom furniture, which included a chest, vanity, stool and mirror. I didn't want this to be refinished as a 'set' so I painted the vanity, mirror and stool together. I'll show you the 'relove' of the chest in a later post. Here's the picture of the vanity. The Halcyon Blue is way brighter than what I envisioned! I'm liking the look of the ASCP Duck Egg Blue as a wash over the Halcyon. They didn't ne...

RPK Interiors: April 2014
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2014. It's been awhile since I've written a post. One of my dear customers had a bit of an "oops" and it's taken the wind out of my sails. I came into possession a lovely Dixie dresser and chest.and thought she would love it. After she saw the pictures of the 'unloved' pieces, she fell in love with them. Her vision was a black base, darker than the traditional walnut stain I generally use, and pewter hardware. Done! She walked into the house and saw them:. Robin, I am heart broken, one...

Skip to primary sidebar. Friday 5 1 (5 Things I Love 1 Thing I Don’t) – 2.17.17. February 17, 2017. I hope you’re having a great week. We’re getting some spring-like weather here, and it’s been so nice.
