French Linen over Lavander

I found this beautiful lavender color, and decided to
give it a try with our French Linen Overlay. . .
 
 


Such a beautiful color!



The French Linen Overlay gives any color a soft, textured finish...



Here's a close up of the linen texture...



There's something so sweet and endearing about lavender...






I love using accent colors on furniture to give the room just
a little extra pop....

French Linen Overlay Custom Tutorial

Introducing our French Linen Overlay. . .

It's no secret that I'm in love with Restoration Hardware. . . and I'm
even MORE in love with their organic linen fabrics! (see here)


I love the soft, woven texture and relaxed natural wrinkles. . .
simply beau-ti-ful...

Linens are so comforting, casual, and relaxing. . .
which is why we created our
"French Linen Overlay" finish.



I could just see it in a room like this...


Isn't this Restoration Hardware room stunning?



Or how about in this room from Pottery Barn?



Oh. . . the possibilities!


Basically, it's a technique that can go over any painted 
surface. . .giving it a soft, textured linen look.

(the pictures just don't do it justice. . .time for a new camera!)


Before the Linen Overlay was applied. . .


. . .and after


Sigh. . .

Take a look at the Graphite Grey with French Linen. . .


 

Here is a Harvest Wheat, finished in our Linen Overlay. . .


Look how adorable it would look in this Pottery Barn room!


Oh my. . .I'm in LOVE!


And here's another one. . .


There's something so enveloping about subtle colors. . .


By the way. . . would you like to see what these
 pieces looked like before?

and. . .


Now it's your turn!
