Painted furniture everywhere!!!!

I had to go into NYC yesterday for my routine dental visit....(I can't give up my NY doctors)...anyway we were a bit early...so we went into  Roche Bobbois of Paris on 200 Madison Ave.
Sleek Modern Furniture


And then.....we started to walk around.....ahhhhh...check this piece out in purple.......they have painted furniture!!
This piece was throughout the show room in various colors


here as a television table with Christian Louboutin's signature red soles
Remember this project that we did for a client?


Here it is in the show room trimmed in black and gold


they also carried the shabby chic look...for a huge price tag$1,000.00 +++
It is amazing that that the furniture that we love is now in transition  popping up in various styles in the high end retailers around the world.....

What Color Did We Paint the Piece???

Well, this was one of the most talked about pieces .... It was fun to read and hear the passion and convictions towards a piece of furniture.   We completed the project and it is in my client's beautiful pristine home.  To answer some of your queries...No, it is not teak, no it is not an original mid-century modern piece.

This was the original piece as purchased by my client 
I had several elements and colors to deal with.....and was constantly drawing samples to come up with the right combination.  
This was the work in progress
This is the room before


This is the room after

I used Annie Sloan Old White and Graphite Chalk Paint

We would love to hear what you think!!!  We know you are not shy.....
