DESIGN FOR LIVING

This time around we created a room right out of your down home homestead circa 1968 - complete with hot pink walls and orange accents. The combination of country details, proportions and accents and mod poppish colors brings the room to life.

We also distressed a hutch with hot pink paint applied with crackle finish (achieved with sodium silicate) and under coats of orange and turquoise and then further distressed it by applying brown paint to the edges and corners using wood blocks to create the effect of the hutch having been knocked around a bit during a long life.
