{ THE MAMA AND PAPA MAKE OVER }

i painted these bureaus for a client

(aka my mom)

this is the mama before

very pretty simple lines

i forgot to take before pictures of papa

but they are a matching set

my mom... uh... i mean client... wanted a green

so i used a martha color called hooked rug green

after i was done it looked a little too soft and feminine

so I rubbed it with minwax oak stain

to tone it down and

this is mama after

i chose to leave the knobs wood

and not paint or change them

they really added warmth to the pieces

a little light distressing

(before I put the stain on)

and the papa...

I think they look perfect

in "my clients" home

; )
