Store to Abode Fridays #16 - Frenchy blue furniture

Today we're showcasing Frenchy blue furniture on Store to Abode Fridays.

These serene pieces are a great way to commit to a color, without going bright. 

If you love to do-it-yourself, Marian has a few colors in her new milk paint line (available at the Lucketts Store in July) that lend themselves well to this look.


It's actually a picture of one of Marian's milk paint dressers that was my inspiration for this week. 

How do I find something like this at Lucketts?    I snapped this photo back in March and this piece is gone.  But Jennifer, Amy, Suzanne, Marian, and Chad frequently hand paint pieces in similar finishes.  Look for dealer codes JDH, MOMO & MSI on the first floor, and CHD on the second floor to get your Frenchy blue furniture fix.

Here are a few other spaces that pay homage to the Frenchy blue/grey furniture pieces.
