French Country Interiors by Leo Dowell Designs. When dark stained furniture was passed down to the children they wanted something different. So they painted over the stains. Leo is now training Doreen Whaley how to duplicate this “Dusting Of The Centuries” patinas on client’s stained chairs and furnishings. Pulling colors out of the fabrics he is reupholstering them in and tying the whole room together. #frenchdetails#frenchfutniture#frenchciuntry#authenticvintage#decoring#Parisstyle#ckassic#breathtaking https://www.instagram.com/p/B6xAfMUpIP0/?igshid=mwnphhm8v1f1

Painting furniture in the Venetian style has always been sought after.A lot of French vintage furniture was painted in this style. Shown here Leo is placing the colors and demonstrating how transparent the washes should be applied. A light sanding at the end also creates the crusty appearance of time worn patinas. Topped off with a dusting of colored wax for age.
