Here we are again! Another Fab Furniture Flippin’ contest! This month’s sponsor was Country Chic paint! The theme was “Bling Bling”. We needed to create a piece using their metallic cream paint. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this paint!  I was lucky enough to be able to choose the paint colors I wanted to work with, and I chose Vintage Cupcake and Metallic Cream in Belt Buckle.
This is how I received the package from Country Chic paint. the packaging and the details were beautiful and so professional.
Here are the two colors I chose for this month’s contest from Country Chic paint: Vintage Cupcake and Belt Buckle metallic cream. Â I also received a beautiful paintbrush as well! Which has become my new favorite!
I have been waiting for some time  to paint this adorable french provincial nightstand which I had gotten for free and I knew that Country Chic paint would be the perfect choice to make this piece Bling! I chose Vintage Cupcake which is the most beautiful shade of pink and Metallic Cream to give that extra little glam chic. It was exactly what I envisioned on this piece. I wanted something a little glamorous, very french, a little flea market chic, and definitely girly. I also had a beautiful mirror that was originally made to go with a vanity and I decided to paint this pink too, to work with the nightstand.
I cleaned this piece thoroughly with TSP and soap and water. Then I did a little sanding, not much, just enough to get a tooth on the wood.
This is after one coat of the Vintage Cupcake color. Â The paint had to be stirred very well before using, but was a really nice consistency and went on very well. Â Wonderful adhesion and dried very quickly.
This was after 2-3 coats of  the Vintage Cupcake color. It really went on beautifully and the pigment is delightful! I sanded down the edges to give it more of an aged, distressed feel.
This is after using the Metallic Cream paint in Belt Buckle. Â I painted the hardware and then I did a dry brushing over the entire piece.

The dry brushing is done by putting just a small amount of paint on your brush and then swiping along very lightly with your brush until you get the effect you like.
I did a bit of a crosshatch motion on the sides with the Metallic Cream. I decoupaged the inside with a pretty graphic I found on The Graphics Fairy website.
I lined the inside of the drawer with some leftover black and white toile I had. Â I wanted a very French Shabby Chic flea market style for this piece. I think I achieved it!
This is a detail of how the metallic cream really pops the carving on the mirror. I love the pink and the belt buckle color together! Â I did some distressing on the mirror as well, and it was so easy!
So french , so shabby , so  lovely!!
I hand-lettered the top of the nightstand with some french typography and I also added some pretty decoupaged flowers! I used Mod Podge to attach the flowers and I sealed with a matte sealer for protection.
I distressed the hand lettering and I also painted a black bow on the top left corner.
The metallic cream paint is very thick and goes on like a dream! The metallic is not too harsh, and it gives a subtle glow to the piece, with just enough bling to pop the details.
I am beyond thrilled at the way this piece turned out! This paint exceeded my expectations! The coverage, the drying time, the hue of the pigment and the fabulous brush were a pleasure!
Doesn’t this look like it came out of a chalet? I just love it!
Sorry about my leg in that one!
