Artist Peter Hunt was known for his colorful peasant-style folk-art paint designs. He insisted that everyone - even people who couldn't draw a straight line - could create these whimsical designs, using the simple techniques he explains here.
source A lovely painted Swedish built in bed. To replicate this color I would mix Scandinavian Pink and Antoinette with some Old White and apply in various layers with wash and ragging techniques. source Pinky peach walls over taupe wainscoting with lots of gilt The lighthearted pink is grounded by the taupe and the golden accessories stand out nicely against the pink. I recently washed one part of a wall in my shop and it was so easy and fun to do. The more I added water and ragged it off the lighter an airier it became. If you want to get a hand painted european plaster look with ease try applying Chalk Paint® and water and use a brush and damp rag for spectacular results! My ragged wall in Scandinavian Pink, Antoinette and Pure White. In person it looks a lot lighter~but this closeup shows the unevenness of paint application. Perfection is NOT the rule. Add more Old or Pure White for a lighter look as well as more water~ this works well with white walls as the under color of the wall will reveal itself as you rag it off. If you are covering up the wall color you will need to rag off less paint, or let a first coat dry then apply a second coat of a lighter or darker shade. I loved doing this treatment and plan to do other sections of the shop in neutral tones using French Linen and Old Ochre. source When painting furniture many times I look for design inspiration and come across beautiful things like this stunning blue and pink armoire. source Beautiful crusted pink doors with touches of white in the nooks and crevices. Such inspiration! source This is my own mirror that I painted pink once upon a time. As I redecorated the room it would no longer remain pink, but it will always be one of my favorites. source unknown If I wanted to copy this chest I would use Antoinette Chalk Paint® with a little Old White and plenty of French Gilding wax. source unknown One project I hope to tackle someday is creating this look~ paneled walls with decorative molding. You can buy kits to make these walls, at a pretty price I am sure. But think of how gorgeous it would be in the right setting~ source Another paneled wall sets the stage for this palest pink bed. One fabulous mirror and the room is done. I would replace the thousand tiny pillows with a few larger down filled pillows in cut linen velvet or grain sack. Most of these projects can be done with successfully with Chalk Paint® and some require gilding materials. Shopping list: Antoinette Chalk Paint and French Gilding Wax in King Gold Many of these projects just need these items. Pink has always been a color close to my heart~ a long time ago I painted my first house. Myself. In pink. I bought Sears Weather Beater paint in the 1980s and took it back 3 times to have the color adjusted to just the right shade of pink. My old house no longer is pink~ the people I sold it to painted it yellow. I can't say I blame them, pink is not for everyone, but it sure is for me! And I think it suited this little cottage nicely. Add a little pink to your life with a painted cabinet or just do the interior of a bookcase or armoire~ add a lot by doing your walls and furnishings in ballet pink. As always, I am looking for inspiration to share here with you. Have a great week! And think PINK!
