Cornflower Blue - French Life Painted Finish

This blue paint finish would be more at home in an 18th century bedroom. We've updated it a little and recon the Cornflower Blue would work well in a boy's bedroom.

Don't forget you could choose an individual piece of bedroom furniture - for example a chest of drawers or wardrobe and use it as a focal point to any room.

Painting wooden furniture is centuries old. Local carpenters used local timbers to make furniture whether it was oak, pine, or whatever. Wealthier customers paid more to have furniture painted and decorated. It was seen as a more refined finish to plain wood. Original examples of this type of bedroom furniture are quite rare and often used in magazine features.

Customers like the idea of Gustavian and Swedish style furniture and chose Sleigh beds painted in the Ivory Cream or Pearl White together with painted bedroomfuniture.

Children's bedrooms also get the treatment; customers like the idea of painted 3'0" four poster beds & painted 3'0" Sleigh beds.

The paint finish itself is aged and rubbed back in places to reveal the wood and then waxed, this makes the finish look old and authentic. Phone for a real wood sample on 01777 869669
