Moroccan Inspired Cupboard Chalkpaint/stencil Makeover
I have been following the progress of Kaye of Curtainalia & Bel Cuscino's latest Chalk Paint™ project, one of her most beautiful projects and my favourite to date. Kaye has a special talent for paint techniques, she takes an unassuming piece and turns it into something unique. Her latest project has been given an antique Moroccan look using a combination of Chalk Paint™, stencils and wax and the results speak for themselves.
The original cabinet was vintage, plain and definitely tired, however seeing its potential Kaye chose a Moroccan theme which suited the cut out pattern on the drawers and cupboard doors. Kaye decided to use a few different techniques such as using base coats of Chalk Paint™, a thin wash, a little chipping, stencilling and a finish of spattering. Clear and dark wax were then applied and polished off to a lovely sheen. The finished cabinet could easily be mistaken for an antique from Morocco. It is so beautiful that it literally lasted only a couple of days in her shop window before someone fell in love with it and had to have it.
