Layered Patina Painted Hutch

I am really excited to show you another layered technique I have done. This time I used 7 different paint colors. I paint furniture like I paint canvas. One of the things I like to do when I paint, is study my subject. So I decided to start studying patinas.

I have started a Patina Pinterest board. From texture to colors and chippiness will get pinned there. 

I used the same technique for the layered patina painted hutch as I did for my french end tables. The difference is the amount of colors and type of paint. I used Annie Sloan for the end tables and my new paint Country Chic for this hutch.

I started with my signature color paint Dreamingincolor. That is the base color that start the layered patina painted hutch.

Tin Man Candy Dispenser

The Wizard of Oz has always been one of my favorite movies. 

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Glinda and the Wicked Witch. Who can forget? We become attached to all the characters in the film. (Well most of them anyway). These characters also make the best costumes for Halloween.  I wanted to take a little bit further with this original idea! Now is the time to head to Old Time Pottery to get your fall and Halloween supplies.

With the help of Old Time Pottery, I found some inexpensive supplies and made a Halloween Tin Man candy dispenser! This is better than the typical bowl. This is interactive! Head over there and check out how to do it!
