Bahama Blue Painted Furniture

I'm Jumping In!

And I'm going "Bahama Underwater Blue"

Now that I live at the lake

I'm changing some of my home color.

I had a lot of reds and golds before.

This is the sideboard that is up for a change:

Here's a sneak peak at what's to come:

After sanding and priming

I base painted in

Bahamas Underwater Blue; Semi-Gloss; from Walmart.

Let the glazing begin.

Folkart's Raw Sienna and Burnt Umber combine to make a nice golden brown .

Pour some clear glaze

onto your paint tray

Any clear glaze would work,

but I like the consistency of this.

Load your brush with just the glaze first

Then dip the side of the brush in the mixed color:

And Brush it over the blue

working in 1' - 2' areas.

Better switch to a bigger brush!

I use a wet wipe to blend out areas that might be too heavy with paint:

And there you have it!

Quite a new look .

Removed the doors.

Painted the interior white.

Baskets on shelves.

New Hardware.

Color changes are fun and inexpensive

and change the mood of a room.

Take a risk.  "It's just paint"  is my motto.
