Before & After {an Asian style console}

I am currently wrapping up a design project and wanted to share the console I painted for the living room. As soon as the project is complete, I will definitely share. 

Here is a before of the console found at Josephs Coat, a consignment store whose profits benefit a local shelter for abused women...


And the after...


I had a can of Ben Moore's Natura semi-gloss in soft orange that I didn't like, so for $12 I had them custom make this color from a belt I own. Yes the belt was my inspiration. Inspiration can be found everywhere! Don't you agree?

    What's the best way to paint furniture? Do you have an electric spray painter?

    If you're not drawing inspiration from fashion, where can you draw from? I kid, I kid... sort of :)

    Thanks everyone!

    @-H...ha very true!
    @Evie...i look atrocious in that color, but as a belt it's perfect.
    @Adrienne...i prefer using a brush and an angled one for legs and corners, but sometimes a sprayer works better...just don't have one.

    Wow, that color is to-die-for. I worked it in with the palette of my old beach apt + cream and pale blue! I adore your table, Danielle.
