Silver Glazed Cabinet

 I had this idea to do a silvery glaze behind a stencilled design that would be barely visible at certain angles.
You can see how the light changes how the piece looks. I also made the stencilled crosses a duller sheen than the rest of the piece. Glaze was made with Chromatone silver paint. One of the best metallics I've ever used.

Textured Look Painted Chest

If you look back at this post here, there is another version of this piece. It has proven to be both popular and versatile.
 The choice of pulls can make a big difference. In this case, I set them vertically instead of horizontally.
Dry brush strokes in 2 colors, light blue and  yellow ochre.
