Artisan & FAT Paint Ambassador: Amélie from The Suburban Home

If you love French country charm, artisan, decorator and FAT Paint Ambassador Amélie from The Suburban Home is the one to follow. Case in point: this amazing fireplace makeover, achieved with FAT Paint!

Before. Amélie will use FAT Paint’s “Raven” to paint out the white trim on the fireplace surround.

Amélie started with a complete blank slate. First she used “Raven” on the trim around the fireplace, creating a more cohesive, one-colour look.

Gorgeous stencil design!

Next… out comes the stencil

Amélie used three FAT Paint colours with the stencil: “Raven”, “Blue Slate” and in the little circles, “Wasabi” (retired).

Once all her work was fully dry, she distressed everything with a sanding block. After that, a light-touch, sporadically placed white-wash with “Warm White” was applied. The look of worn, aged cement tile that Amélie achieved is gorgeous!

The mantle is an amazing piece of old barnwood, but the corbels mounted below each end are the ideal finishing touch to the overall look. Amélie FAT Paint’d each corbel in first “Raven”, sealed with clear coat and then applied a couple coats of “Warm White”. She then wet sanded the white back to reveal the black. The results are FATtabulous!!
