ASCP Provence Armoire


A few months back I found this wonderful brown armoire with ornate carving and flowers. I refinished it with Louis Blue Chalk Paint, dry brushed Old White over it, added a little dark wax and... tah-dah! It sold in a matter of minutes on Etsy. I have since kept it in my Etsy shop for examples of custom painting. I have received TONS of messages with customers saying they want one exactly like it. I wish I could find that armoire again. Finally, I managed to find one with similar shape and size.

A wonderful client scooped it right up for custom painting. She had a great idea and wanted to swap the Lois Blue color for Annie Sloan Provence. I think it was a great call. It looks beautiful. It is painted with Provence and has a light Old White wash with moderate distressing. This piece is still due for a little dark wax for the finishing touch before I ship it to it's new home.

    Beautiful! I love the old white (wash)! That is something I have yet to try with the chalk paint! Thank you for the inspiration! I will be pinning this to my "Paint it Annie!" Pinterest board! I am a new follower too!

    ASCP is not available in my area, and I'm dying to try it. I may just have to move. Great job, love both pieces.

      ASCP isnt available here in vegas either. I order from catfishcreativefurnishings.com. They seem to have the cheapest shipping.
