This WordPress.com site is the cat’s pajamas. Monthly Archives: March 2015. March 31, 2015. I have written in the past about how much I love turquoise. Shows lots of mixes and I really admire the peacock coloured cabinet that is in this post. This Art-Deco dresser was painted in a combination of Annie Sloan Florence and Aubusson. It produced a green/blue teal. I have a wall in my kitchen painted in Benjamin Moore Majestic that is almost the identical colour:. Http:/ www.elizabethandcovintage.com/. My par...

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: May 2014
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
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...

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: January 2015
http://rpkinteriors.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
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...

Wednesday, May 20, 2015. ASCP Coco Soft Washes. The hunt was on for a dresser. Here it is May and we finally found one! A few other candidates popped up over the past few months, but for various reasons, they didn't work out. Although it can be disappointing to have something slip through your fingers, sometimes good things happen when you are patient! Karma, baby, Karma! You can read about her transformation Here. A little cleaning and sanding, along with MMS Hemp Oil brought it back to life! Laurie's r...

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...
