Avett Brothers Inspired Piano

Melissa Saville — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 03:15:07 +0000

Our client found this piano in the basement of the home she had recently purchased. She plays piano and sings, and wanted to not only add the piano to her home’s decor, but use it. Her favorite band is the Avett Brothers, and their stage piano for concerts is a battered white upright. This was the concept for turning this forgotten, dull pecan-colored spinet into a focal point of our client’s living space.

All surfaces were deglossed and sanded, then painted with General Finishes Driftwood Gray Milk Paint, then Snow White Milk Paint. Driftwood Gray accents and light distressing to show the gray beneath the white made this project a showstopper.

Baker’s White

Michelle Wrightsman Gabbard — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 01:39:53 +0000

This large baker’s rack is a bit massive and imposing in size. Therefore we decided to keep the color simple and classic. And we’re so glad we did! It’s simple and neutral but definitely makes a statement. Painted in a custom mix of Antique and Snow White Milk Paints then slightly distressed for a wonderful farmhouse style.

Amanda Renfro Dillon — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 01:13:50 +0000

This beaut'iful neutral dresser features pale metallic accents and ever so light, delicate features. A client dubbed it a "pale metallic driftwood recreation."

Created in a base color of PPG Steamed milk, it has been adorned with a very diluted colorwash with GF dark chocolate, sprayed with water until it left only a hint of color behind. A diluted GF Van dyke brown glaze was also used, as was MM Metallic in warm silver, and gilders paste in german silver.
