I'm entering this drab to fab, French shabby cottage table into a Trash To treasure contest this September. Wish me luck :)
This is the after, I hand painted a Floral Garden seen on top
looks beautiful in my gazebo
distress finish details
Thrift store table
this is the table , I got it for $6.00 at the Goodwill shop around the corner from my house
these are the supplies that I used
Chalky finish in white(Americana) Acrylic craft paints , alcohol inks for fine details , Americana velvet touch varnish & dark wax by Americana. and various sizes of brushes
I started this project by painting on two coats of the chalky finish paint, by Americana Decore paint in white , I left the gold inset for a nice added detail
when the paint was dry I painted on my floral design
I used Adarondak Alcohol Inks for adding fine details
I sanded on the edges and various places to add a distress finish
Rose buds on legs. I finished off with the velvet touch varnish on entire table , then on the legs and sides of table I applied dark wax, it gave a subtle two tone effect.
