French Knicker Pink - French Life Painted Finish

It definitely has a fairy tale bedroom appeal. This girlie bedroom colour would be loved right into there teens, or be passed down through the family. Because the beds have a distressed finish the odd knock or two that children give to furniture is only going to add to the charm..

Local carpenters used local timbers to make furniture whether it was oak, pine, or whatever. Wealthier customers paid more to have furniture pained 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 want to experiment with different colour schemes and styles. They 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.

Let’s not forget children’s bedroom furniture as well as children’s beds. French Life finishes improve with age, so any kicks and scratches simply blend in…no worries. 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. Remember to phone for a real wood sample on 01777 869669
