It's like a vase of fresh flowers...
these colorful chippy paint knobs!
Just a bowl of colorful hardware
with a chippy old paint styling
is a fun blast of texture.
I need that in January!
I'm already thinking spring color and warm weather.
I really didn't have any plan to post about this
but when these colors made me happy on this rainy day
I thought they might make you happy too.
They started out black and were great that way too.
But the color adds such a nice pop
that will go with Dane's comforter...
a mix of blue, green, red and orange.
To get the chippy look:
Your base coat will be what you want to show through.
It's great if it can be a semi-gloss base
but other finishes work too.
When you put the first coat of paint on
it will be a faded washed out look.
To get the vibrant color
you will need to apply about 3 coats.
After it dries,
Brush on Polycrylic Sealer.
While it is wet or damp,
take a paper towel and rub off color in places.
Now you have the chippy paint look!
Here are the paint color details:
You can find paint detail for the dresser here.
Sharing my little bowl of color
with you today!
