I think this is my favorite all time color combination - with everything actually - I love it in home decor - shoes - clothing - linen - I even love black and white photos!
So it was a no-brainer on what to do with these homely looking things
Before
After
I used ASCP Graphite on the top - and old white on the bottom -
Stencil was done in old white - with a wash of Graphite over the surface - to give it a " smudged aged " look
That streaky look is intentional and looks quite lovely in person ( not so much in the photos I know ) but
it looks like it has depth because of it. The glare of the photos makes it look too defined but it isn't at all!
And of course waxed
and ready to sell
Sometimes - just sometimes - it's ok to see things in Black and White!
Have a wonderful day!
