ASCP Custom Mix - French Blue and a Few Findings

Anyone who shopped Camas Antiques in the last week or so must have surely thought that I was moving out of my space, it was so sparse!  I finally had a chance to finish up a few projects and bring a truck load of new treasures in just last night!

I can't seem to pass up these little French style tiered tables.  They are so unique, delicate and versatile.  I love the scalloped edge on this one!  This pretty blue is a combination of ASCP Paris Grey, Aubusson Blue and Old White...with a lot of dark wax, of course!  I've decided to call it French Blue and had a lot of fun putting together a little Frenchy vignette to combine a handful of recent finds!

I used my French Blue mix to make over these pretty frames in addition to the side table.

These were hard to part with!  I have really become quite obsessed with ornate frames!  Both were dry brushed with old White before they were waxed.  I brushed Old White onto the detailed corners of the one on the left with a small paint brush.

I used that same technique for this lamp, but with Paris Grey and Old White.  This piece had sat and sat in my space with it's original gold-ish patina and although I didn't dislike it as it was, I knew I would like it better made over with ASCP and thought it might improve it's chances of finding a new home as well.  The finished look really reminds me of a Wedgewood vase!  I love how this piece turned out!

Also available in my space at the shop is this large, unique vintage mirror painted in Duck Egg and Old White.  Notice the applique swap out.  The original flourish was fine, but I was recently given this beautiful little floral bouquet and had been looking for a special piece to feature it on.  Two sweet gals from the UK, Celeste and Lizzie have a business called Shabby Finds where they sell their unique, resin appliques to add something special to everything from furniture to frames!  This applique was incredibly easy to apply.  What I found to be really great about the material these gals use to make their appliques is that it can be slightly softened with the heat from a blow dryer and molded onto the piece you are applying it to.  I love how this little change really re-defined the look of the mirror.  The applique worked perfectly with ASCP paint and wax!   

My space at the shop feels a little more full now, but there is still plenty of room for more treasures!

  I am off to work on some more small tables and chairs to add to my display!  Today was all about blue and grey, but I hope to have some pink pretties to share with you later this week!

Best Wishes and Blessings,

Amanda
