SILVER STREAK BEDROOM SET.
This set comprised of a  5 drawer Broyhill dresser . a large Broyhill linen armoire and a grey sofa style table.
The client liked the shapes of the pieces but just felt the colors were a little dated and gave her bedroom a heavy feel.


BEFORE

 AFTER
 
 Dresser got a coat of primer and then two coats of metallic silver. Client wanted a two tone effect so the framework was painted in a deeper silver called Thundercloud with the drawers being painted in Silver Streak. Then to achieve the antiqued effect a sepia glaze was brushed on and rubbed off, taking care to allow it to settle in the detail of the piece to give it more depth and age.

 
 
Armoire being given a coat of primer after removing doors and hard wear. The bottom doors will be put back on but client wanted the top to be open shelving. 


AFTER
 
Sometimes I get carried away and forget to take the before pictures!!!  That is what happened here ! I was so eager to start this project and now find that I only have the after visual.
This piece was also given a coat of gray primer and then 2 coats of the metallic Silver Streak. The sepia glaze was then applied to complete the effect
