Introductions: A black beauty named Phalidae

This little petite chest is small and perfectly suited to be used as a nightstand, end table.......or you know? That little wall at the end of the hallway that needs just a little something to catch your eye and draw you in? This is that little eye catcher.I am in the middle of working on a collection of neutral colored pieces right now and It has been a while since I have done a true black piece. I have been holding onto these beautiful monarch butterfly knobs for a while now and knew immediately that these beauties were perfect for the size and color of this design. I also had this beautiful butterfly wallpaper and so naturally it completed my plans for this piece.I painted this piece with black milk paint, and then I coated it with four coats of water based polyurethane so it has a really shiny finish over the rustic milk paint. I love the rustic mixed with the shine.....it is so unexpected and right."Phalidae" is available here locally in the shop as well as the etsy shop. She is so special, and I have a feeling she will not be with me long!xo,Barb
