Patina Of A French Pale Season

Burlap Luxe 

I paint with an intensely personal affair

with a pale patina...

Making the most of a French seasonal 
home.

  

 With days beginning to grey, no matter what

your celebration is, there is always beauty

to be had.

I am passionate about salvaged pieces, and

the patina of life I give them.

Yes, this chair once covered in dark stain has

taken on the paints and a pale age 

I've touched it with.

I never negotiate with a piece or

over think its finish, I just let it

speak to me.

I often will not replace the covered arm pads,

I love finishing its empty space with a

casual painted relaxed age;

making this French chair feel less formal.

   

 It's important that it feels authentic and not

forced in its finish and as worn as I can 

get it until it says, "I am finished."

 Salvage And patina

 

 Dried hydrangeas in their silvery grey greens  

is perhaps as fall as it may get.

 Nestled And Embraced.

Armoire finished in age by Dore Burlap Luxe

Almost hidden next to this large rural French armoire 

is a small drawer that I altered as a frame

of sorts.

nature of twigs below.

Creating an atmosphere this season with 

salvage and patina.
