Last year, I stumbled across a way to create a gorgeous, peacock blue and thought to share it today on the Paint Color Highlight series.
I was experimenting with this little Eastlake dresser and first applied a few coats of General Finishes Corinth Blue milk paint. The details were highlighted in Martha Stewart Gold and then the Burnt Umber glaze was rubbed all over it. The glaze toned it down and created a gorgeous peacock blue!
It’s always fun when a piece is totally transformed! On this piece, I applied the glaze directly onto the paint, without a sealer applied first. It really soaked into that blue because of it.
I made a YouTube tutorial on the process.

Wow! Gorgeous color! Talented lady. Have a great weekend!
Love the color and lines!
Thank you so much for showing us all these colors! When I finally get brave enough to tackle some furniture, I know just which colors I want to use!
Thank you so much, it’s really helpful to have a video tutorial, I learn better that way.
What a pretty color Suzanne! I thought the details were sanded back to the natural wood and was surprised to read that it was a gold glaze – very pretty.
Thanks Marie! The gold highlighted the flowers and the rest was sanded back – you got it right
