Last year, I worked with Sherwin-Williams on their National Painting Week campaign and I was assigned the color purple. I chose a soft shade of lilac to make a faux inlay effect on my daughters’ vanity dresser. (Here’s that post).
This year, I was thrilled to work with Sherwin-Williams again and I thought it would be a good opportunity to try another faux painting technique. My color is green this year, so of course there was only one option: malachite.
These were some of the images I referenced before starting my project (and I’ll be honest – it was a little intimidating to tackle this one, but it ended up being a breeze!). I decided to do a bit of a bluer shade, like the colors in this Celerie Kemble chair, but just a tad more green.
Before I started, I also looked at the techniques other DIYers have tried. Here’s a little round up of the posts that were super helpful to me:
Wow. So much depth. The wall paper has me thinking…..
looking forward to the tutorial & some the colorful posts!

Jenny! As a fellow malachite lover, I CANNOT WAIT to see your project! I'm sure it will be beautiful! I actually have some Jim Thompson fabric I have been hoarding for a couple of years. :) xoxo, G
Thanks for including my box in your round-up jennifer!! I love your posts because they are always so informative and include so many variations…there is something for everyone! :)
Looking forward to this! I loved your inlay tutorial last year and have it earmarked for a side table in a nursery one day. I just painted my desk in oil based enamel per your console table and I think it turned out pretty well for a beginner! I loove how shiny the paint looks!
The wall paper from Apartment Therapy is blowing my mind. I don't know if I'd be brave enough though!!

I love malachite and recently picked up a small box made of it with a pretty inlay design on top.
Also, a blog friend of mine did a great job when she made her version here – http://www.desertdomicile.com/2013/01/diy-8-faux-malachite-boxes.html
I love the piano bench!
I can't wait! The back of my bookshelves need a little something. I'm thinking this will be a great solution!
Amazing roundup! I did the faux malachite boxes myself! Here's my tutorial: http://champagnelifestyles.blogspot.com/2013/01/diy-faux-malachite-box.html

I can't wait to see what you do. Thanks for referencing the Malachite sheets on HSN. I've been looking for emerald sheets and these will be perfect! And I'll probably order the sapphire blue for the guest room!
Gorgeous! I'm sure I will love what you've done.
Jenny, I devour any post with the word malachite in the title. I am kind of obsessed and have been hoping to make some malachite boxes like Aestates. Imagine my surprise to see one of my projects in your roundup! Thank you for including my faux malachite knobs…they are my favorite thing in my new studio.
Can't wait to see your project!

Obsessed with malachite since I was 12, and got a silver bracelet with a piece of malachite in it (that I still wear). Can't wait to see your tutorial!
I first discovered malachite as a rock-loving kid and STILL mourn the tiny malachite obelisk treasure I'd just purchased and then lost at my grandma's. Maybe a malachite DIY would help ease my pain. :) Can't wait to see the tutorial!
