What color should we paint this piece????


Often times when I am  commissioned to work on a piece....the client is not sure what exactly they want done.  I like to give as many examples and/or suggestions to help in the process of picking a color or technique. There are a lot of variables that come into play.

Up coming project ~clients purchased the Mid Century Danish Modern Piece for the seller of their new home~

Dinning area where the new piece will be residing. We must be careful that it is complementary 

we need to be mindful of the contains of the hutch ~this is the clients china~ 

I always provide some similar pieces that have been painted

A prospective color combination based on the room and china and style of cabinet 
The client provides their idea of what they want the piece to look like from a search of vintage hutches
 
When there are some difference in color and style, I like to do some renderings of prospective color combinations for the piece.




I would love to hear your feed back on what color would you paint this piece??

Shore Chicy Designs In A Store Front ??

Over the past year, I have developed a relationship with one of the greatest thrift shops in Ocean County.  "Silk Purse Consignments" located in Toms River New Jersey in the K Mart shopping Plaza on route 37 East.  The shop owner Pam asked if I would like to place a few of my pieces in the front window.....I was so excited....Please stop by the shop and check out the merchandise....You will love it!!


Working on staging the window

a desk that Pam had that Shore Chicy shabbied up a bit....it would look great in a entrance foyer

A few of my pieces...the dresser is by Berkey Gay Furniture from the 1920's complete with the brass label
