Ideas for French Provincial bedroom Furniture?

by Jmarie813
I inherited this heavy,good quality Thomasville bedroom furniture.It's an odd yellow.I absolutely LOVE the beige painted & stenciled furniture at Ethan Allen,but there's no way that I could do that myself! It has the most beautiful stenciling that I could never duplicate,or even find..but that's what I'd love to have.I want the walls to be that beautiful kind of sea blue green color..I do not care for the 'chalk paint' look. Does anyone have any new ideas,or can you tell me how to duplicate that design? Thank you...so many talented people on here..! :0)

    If it is worth it, you might want to have it professionally done! Sometimes it is worth the cost. Good luck, wish I had some suggestions!

    Thank you,Jeanette. You're so right,but haven't even checked into that.I love to paint & draw,so really wanted to attempt it,..but I'm afraid.. The Ethan Allen pieces I'm referring to are in the " Phoebe" series. Take a look if you get a chance. Gorgeous!! :0)

    Redoing furniture is easy especially when painting it. Find a stencil you like and Just go for it!

    Thank you Christine,..well,it would look so much better if sprayed,though. i mean,for the finish i want-perfect. did you see the ethan allen furniture-dresser/chest that i was referring to? it's in the 'phoebe' line..that's what i'm dreaming that i can accomplish..lol...the stenciling... looks difficult.. so dainty,..and i'm not.. thank you... -they have sprayers for like,50 at home depot.
