Boho Corner Cabinet Makeover. Water distressing and color layering with chalk paint.

This tutorial is all about COLOR and how to use color in a way that is very different from Blending! Color layering is a great way to slowly introduce color into your pieces and when you use water to distress you can control the levels of "how much". Color layering and water distresses are fundamentals of painting furniture and should be part of your toolbox!

WHAT IS BOHO CHIC:
Boho is a style that really never goes out of style. Colorful and over the top furniture pieces have always been part of our "decor" culture, especially here in States. If you have never painted using bright colors or jewel tones it can take some time to really wrap your head around it.

Go to some local "vendor" markets and see what pops at you. Look at home decor magazines, retail magazines like Pottery Barn, etc. and see what they are trending. Always remember...while boho may not be YOUR style it very well could be the style of your CUSTOMER!

PAINT COLORS:

In this tutorial I used 2 main paint colors.

The pink was a color from COUNTRY CHIC Paints called MoonFlower. This color was a limited edition color they sold quite some time ago that has been sitting on my paint shelf as I never knew what to use it on! HAHA! The Blue was a Behr opps color from Home Depot! Opps paints are generally $0.50-$2 depending on the size! I buy all of them every time I go to HD or Lowes!

Alternative Colors:
For the Pink I would go with one of these colors:

BEHR: HOT PINK #100B-7
SW/HGTV: HOT SW6843

For the Blue I would go with one of these colors:

BEHR: DARK COBALT BLUE PPU15-03
SW/HGTV: HYPER BLUE SW 6965

TIP: If you are using a household paint like Behr or SW, make sure that it's flat, eggshell or (satin as last resort). You will need to water it down a bit to get it to distress easily and it would also help to add a chalk additive to it as well, I added Liquid Pixie to my opps paint to thin it out a bit and that helps with distressing. LESS IS BETTER. When color layering, lots of THIN coats is best.

Thanks for visiting The Shabby Divas, a place for DIY, Crafts, Design, and more. A little about me:

Back many DIY moons ago I developed a product (paint additive) that eventually grew into an amazing and affordable brand for furniture artists and woodcrafters. In 2014 I began traveling the southern states teaching techniques with my dear friend Maria Revollo of M&B Furniture Décor. We had an amazing run, but I wanted to be home more with my family, so I took my teachings online and built a membership called the Shabby Divas $5 Paint Club. Over time, I realized people were just joining my membership to learn how to run their creative business, grow a product, a membership and all the things. In January of 2019, I started my first coaching/mentoring platform and today I have the incredible pleasure of working with hundreds of creatives to do the same with their businesses.

Thank you for your continued support, for watching our videos (I remember having SO MUCH fun making them). I hope that over time you continue to return to our channel and check out some of the amazing people we get to work with day in and day out!
