Styling my Own Painted Furniture, Part Dos

Last time I shared my "ocean blues" dresser and the items I would put with it if it were mine ("styling my own painted furniture")  I had a huge response and it became my most viewed post ever! I was honored to have it featured at the shabby creak cottage, and am amazed by how many times its been pinned and re-pinned on pinterest. You guys rock!

So naturally I thought, "that was fun, lets do it again."

 

 Only this time with a console/cabinet.

 I used two different shades of blue like last time, however instead of layering them, I used them side by side.

This is a great piece for an entry way. It fits in smaller spaces while still having room for storage behind the door.

I really like the original hardware so it stayed just how I found it.

I distressed it a lot and used a dark wax for the finish.

Now if I wasn't selling this, and I put it in an entry way, this is how I might decorate with it:

1. Nate Berkus Dipped Bowl, Target. Great catch-all for keys and mail.

2. ZigZag Rug in Grey, Urban Outfiitters

3. Hand painted Lamp with Script Drum Shade, Refound Vintage

4. Large Round "Montclaire" Mirror, One Kings Lane

5. Natural Decorations, Inc. Faux Lilac Arrangement, Joss and Main 
(real flowers would be even better!)

I think "styling my own painted furniture" will be a regular around here :)
