CoCo (Before & After)

Meet CoCo!  She appears French but is actually an American.

She has such pretty and feminine details.  You may have noticed her in my Open Studio post, but I felt like she really needed a post all her own.

When I met her, she was already black, but needed a new paint job.  I fell in love with her mirror.

and those little brass attachments that hold the mirror on.  Swoon.

I repainted her in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in “Typewriter” with the bonding agent added because the surface was already painted.  While painting I realized a few drawers needed repairs.  A big thank you to my hubby for that!

Here’s a few more things I love about her –

The MMS Milk Paint White Wax that highlights all her lovely details.

The dainty, glass pulls from D. Lawless.  I love their shape and how they capture the light, almost like little chandelier.

Her lovely turned legs:

The scrolling drawer liners:

Like black cashmere she is timeless and has a lovely shape.  Perfect for a child’s room, an entry or a landing.

I desperately tried to find a place for her in my house and she doesn’t fit.

This stylish lady is looking for a new home.

I like how the white wax brings out the details. It’s too bad she does not fit in your home. Have a good day.
