I don't have a before for you this time - guess I deleted it before I should have :(
But I had decided this too needed to go red long before I dragged it home to do it!!!
But it looked very much like this one
But it looked very much like this one
This is the third one I've done - and the third one that's sold right away ..............this color is magic - it
may become my new signature color !!!
As most of you know Quebec has a majority of French speakers................and Red is the color of passion
Maybe that's why? And Oh how those romantic people love RED :)
Most of my Paris Grey and White's are bought by English speakers LOL
The depth
The richness
speaks to their hearts I believe
and doesn't it look like one big gigantic heart?

Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteKristie
Gorgeous!! Simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Dresser...my family room is predominantly red...it is a color that resonates with me!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd put a heart around that, too. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if my French husband had been painted that color I would have stayed married to him. Maybe not... :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a beauty!!!!
ReplyDeleteKris
Very pretty! The French are an adventurous sort aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. I LOVE the red and think it brings out the beautiful lines of the piece. Love the dark wax/stain(?) on the edges, too. Great job, Suzan. You did good! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who would die for this! Red is her favorite color. You deliver to Texas, right?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I would love to design a room around that beauty!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about the color choices. Love that color for sure
ReplyDeleteMom, make Suzan stop inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteI need more tiiiiimmmmmmme!
Gorgeous...as usual! Your pieces always look amazing when you're done!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Vicky

The dresser turned our great I'm not surprised it sold right away! The color is wonderful, Laura
ReplyDeleteI adore red, but the ONE furniture piece I've painted red is still unsold. Maybe the magic is you!
ReplyDeleteI love red! I have a few pieces in my house. This is a great piece no matter what color. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful piece to begin with (I love curves!) and the red makes it look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJust curious.... which part of Montreal is your shop? (I'm from Montreal but moved south of the border because of hubby's work.)
Yeah, I'd buy that in a second too. I think it's gorgeous and am not surprised it sold quickly.
ReplyDeleteOoo la la! Did you use dark wax over it? Did you stick some blue Christmas balls in one of the drawers? Inquiring minds wanna know.
ReplyDeleteSuzan,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I love, love the color. I am a color person and like subtle color too. By the way, do you ever sleep? You are like the Energizer Bunny...LOL!

That is gorgeous, Suzan. I have a quart of Emporer's Silk and have never used it. Maybe it's time. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteIf the French go for Emperor's Silk red, then the Italians must go for a Bordello red!
ReplyDeleteI'm Italian, but I usually stick with the gray and white like the stuffy English. Oh well, I'm a disgrace to my ancestors.
Lovely work on the dresser, btw.
lol - you've been " stuffified " Teri!!!
DeleteThanks for the dresser " love "
XOXOXO
It's gorgeous! I have a piece on standby to do in red...Hopefully it will turn out as well. :)
ReplyDelete-andi
beautiful, suzan! talk about drama!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved this dresser and now you've made it absolutely gorgeous!!!
I remember a designer that said you should always have one item in a room that is black, but, I beg to differ. I love having one item that is red...All shades of red. Red holds your attention right away when you walk into a room.
Beautiful job Suzan!!!!!
Enjoy the rest of the week!!!

Suzan, that dresser is stunning! I have been afraid to use this colour, but I have to put it on my shopping list. You did a fantastic job...love it!
ReplyDeleteDebbie :)

ReplyDeleteThis dresser is gorgeous!
Nice red color;)
Love and hugs
Lydia
Thank YOU Lydia - XOXOXO
DeleteOoh la la. Beautiful rouge. My husband and I are trying (TRYING) to pick up a little french to help us on our upcoming trip to Quebec (to celebrate my impending descent into the next decade of life). The word for "bathroom" is at the top of my list. haha
ReplyDeleteSalle de Bain Betsy LOL - and remember the word Poutine - ( a Quebecoise french fry dish like no other )
DeleteXOXOOX
Suzan...I love red :) It is super beautiful with it's lovely shape to match that beautiful color!!
ReplyDeleteRed is my favorite color, sadly it's not a good seller for me :(. So happy it sells for you though! Turned out beautiful Susan. Dee from My Painted Stuff
ReplyDeleteLooks like I will have to learn French cuz I love it. Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful piece!! You seem to have a winning combo...the perfect color and your wonderful paint techniques!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
A-ma-zing! Again, you always know what color to paint each piece. This is such a pretty color Suzan. Hope you're having an accident free week ;-)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you, this piece is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I would've bought it too! Following you back dear! See you around and thanks for your sweet comment! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much - think It's time to do something for myself in red :)
DeleteXOXO
I LOVE the red!
ReplyDeleteso bold!! the red is delicious! and I just love the shape of this. no wonder it sold straight away. LInk it up to my paint parade tomorrow please!!
ReplyDeleteFiona
That red is so deep, how not to fall in love with it? Red is also the colour of rebellion. A friend of my mother's grand-father had been arrested during the Second Empire because he painted his mantel red, meaning by that he was against the Emperor!
ReplyDeleteTruly gorgeous Suzan! Maybe I need a signature color!!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan, it is beautiful! I love the red! Thank God for the upcoming rain, I can hear thunder hear as well. Today was SO hot and humid that I was beginning to feel sick. Take care of yourself and stay cool, it is so nice to hear that thunder!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda -
DeleteIt's coming down now - PRAISE the LORD and pass the umbrella.................
Think I'm going to go out and dance in the streets now LMHO
XOXO
Hi Suzan, LOL! Isn't it great? It is so nice to see it! It was quite heavy, and boy, did we ever need it! :)
DeleteIt looks romantic in red! It has to be a real statement piece in any room.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, love it!
Hugs,
Patti

Hi Suzan, I LOVE this color! I'm going to be painting a dresser for my nephew in this color soon because he LOVES red! I think it will add a beautiful pop of color to his room. It looks amazing on the one you did! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLezlie
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try this color. Seeing your masterpiece makes me anxious to find just the right piece to try it on.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful! I'm still trying to build up the nerve to paint an old desk that I want to turn into a shelf. It's currently like this mohagony laminated color which is...okaay but I really wanna try adding color. Thanks so much for sharing, this might be the push I need ;)
ReplyDelete♥Christal

I love that I can see a picture at a link party and know before I click it that it is you. Your work is beautiful and just stands out.
ReplyDeleteI am off now to convince Steve that our dresser needs to be painted ASCP Greek Blue. I have the paint and am ready to go, but I realize that he might just have a word or two to say about it.
