We bought this table before our new cabinets went in. At that time I had painted our then smaller island in a distressed black, while the main cabinets were painted cream. So this table fit in perfectly with that color scheme. In my dream world - the garden window would become a bay window with a booth inside.... but until then I'm making over this black table!
As of late, I've been a chalk paint girl. If you can paint it - chalk paint it is! I switched it up with fabric~ and as of last week, studied a new technique
I had replaced some recliners in our family room with a greenish/blue leather earlier in the year. It seemed like it would be the perfect accent color to add to the table. Of course - that makes me rethink the wall paint I have in the the kitchen and the family room~ and that my friends.... is the story of my life.
This was one of those projects that the plan would be ~we will see how it goes, since it was new to me. We started with the chair legs. Deciding to do 2 coats. It doesn't take long to dry. My daughter and I both did 2 chairs, then mixed up the Ironstone color (creamy white) for the top.
Originally thinking we would cover the black completely, we did 2 coats of the ironstone as well. I studied it for a short period.... letting some of the black show through seemed to be the best way to go. This would require more sanding!
After what I thought would be enough sanding I did a coat of the Antiquing Wax.
Because this is one of the most detailed blogs I've done, I'm going to give you a glimpse of the finished product and ask you to please click on my blog to get more detailed information and pictures. Thank you for visiting!
