Ever since I learned about Artisan Enhancements Pearl Plaster from my friends at Catfish, I have wanted to test drive this unique finish. The curvy number below seemed liked just the right piece for a pearly transformation – petite and feminine.
I started by applying two thin coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Provence. No distressing this time.
Next I tried applying the Pearl Plaster by itself to the painted dresser with a wax brush but found that method difficult to work into the paint for an even sheen. I decided to mix the Pearl Plaster with clear wax to make it more pliable. That worked like a charm and saved me a step! Shine and wax in one. That’s my Pearl Plaster pro tip y’all!
After a good buffing, I added matte blue and white knobs that contrast yet coordinate with the finish.
You can really see how the finish shines in the light in the picture above. And how fun is the Provence and Coral pairing? It’s pretty sweet with gold and natural wood tones too!
This was one of of those pieces I was super excited about when I took it to Sweet Clover. It took a few sales to find the right buyer but I’m happy it found it’s way to a new home!
Thanks for visiting!
