Here is one of those times when I forgot the before picture! This is a small end table with some really great curves. I took this picture post-prime. I bet you have guessed that I did not use Chalk Paint on this one because I wouldn't have needed the primer. I have saved a few smaller items to help me use up my vast collection of latex paints. I really wanted to use some COLOR!!! I love the Chalk Paint and I love Carter's Cottage but I really needed an excuse to cover something in an outrageous color. I was worried that this might not play well in the shop but it turned out "more mainstream" than I imagined.
I do have to say that it was not fun using latex paint after the ease and fun of the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I am very pleased with the outcome but not looking forward to my next latex paint project.
Here is the finished piece.
I am going to call this the Peacock Table. It is the most perfect color of Turquoise. I covered it with dark wax and gave it a good sanding.
It is a little rough around the edges and I like that in a piece of furniture. :)
Very very cool. I bought an odd table from my elderly neighbor and would like to do something awesome with it. I'll have to take a photo and ask for ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love the color! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteVery Nicely done... LOVE the color.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind sharing the color???
Beautiful! I posted about a similar style table that I just made over...though I'm not as adventurous with color as you are! Yours turned out just fabulous!

Wow..I love it!
ReplyDeleteJust got through looking at some of your other projects~ fab...new follower! :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! I love the detail and finish!! Great, great job.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I could share the color. It was a small mistint from Lowes. I always buy the $1 ones because the colors are super fun at a super low price. Perfect for a small project.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with you, once you start using chak paint you kinda dread going back to latex. I love chalk paint but sometimes you need a more vibrant color, your table looks great I love the dark wax technique. Your newest follower, stop by for a blog visit.
ReplyDeleteLove this! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteTHE FINISH ON THIS IS FABULOUS. ID LOVE TO FEATURE IT ON REVIVAL MONDAY LET ME KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE OK WITH YOU.

ReplyDeleteThis is one gorgeous table! I'm having a terrible time finding the "right" turquoise color too. Could you snap a pic of the recipe on the mistint? hehe if you do please let me know!
