Weekend Project: Headboard Swagger

House as well as Home (Feb/12) - Produced past times Stacey Smithers | Photographed past times Kim Jeffery

Have you lot seen the Feb 2012 number of House as well as Home? It's their "makeover issue" as well as they accept a rather uncomplicated weekend decorating stance if you lot know a carpenter (or are handy inwards that department). Check out the architectural shaped headboard (page 78) —they've drawn a pattern for it on kraft paper, as well as therefore headed to their friendly neighborhood carpenter as well as cutting it out onto a canvas of ¾"-thick MDF. Cleaned upward the edges amongst sandpaper, primed as well as painted it; they used Hague Blue (30) from Farrow & Ball. The pigment close looks similar it has a chalkboard lawsuit to it, or slate-looking. I mightiness consider using that chalkboard paint from Annie Sloan that's been popping upward inwards the intelligence lately if I was going to tackle this project. Love the mix inwards the icon below. Deep Old Violet amongst touches of a deep Burgundian Red as well as Old White approximately the edges of the drawers. From Annie Sloan's majority "Creating the French Look" published inwards 2008 past times Cico. Wouldn't that pigment task survive awesome on this project? [Sidenote: Of class I mean value that everything inwards this icon (above) makes it all function - specially those mid-century paintings past times Gordon Runge they form of push clit away from the shabby chic hold off which could brand this infinite larn all wrong]. Wall coloring Calluna (270) every moment good Farrow & Ball.
