Entry Drop Spot
Found the perfect little drop spot table for your entry, but it just doesn’t match your decor? ..Worry no more!
You finally found that perfect fit for your entry, problem is it’s so dated and looks straight out of grandmas house!
Not to worry!
In a few short hours we can revamp this little beauty into something that will have your granny wanting it back!
1st Prep: Dixie Belle White Lightening Cleaner - this will remove any of that old polish and we degloss your piece of any cleaners, wipe back with a watered down rag and we’re good to go!
Ready for Paint!
Dixie Belle has 64 amazing colors to chose from, but I decided to go with Stormy Seas - it’s a gorgeous blue/green/gray and just has a classic, expensive feel :)
I wanted the top to look like it had been stained, but didn’t want to go through the fuss of sanding.. Soooo a blend of Dixie Belle Chocolate & Coffee Bean to do just that!
Layer on a coat of coffee bean, once dry, coat with a watered down wash of chocolate, dry again and one last watered down coat of coffee bean, wiping back as you go.
Time to distress!
I just love the look of a piece that’s been through the ringer, it tells a story with each scratch and ding, so why not create some of your own! Grab a 150 grit sanding block and scratch away!! After I smooth over lightly with a 220 grit sanding pad to give it that buttery feel!
Onto the Wax!
Dixie Belle has some amazing waxes in a few different shades, but their brown does it for me every time! This will give it that worn, dirty, antiquey glow! You can use a brush or a rag to apply as much or as little as you desire and then buff back with a clean lint free rag.
A quick top coat seal with Dixie Belle Gator Hide on the top for some extra durability - No worries when throwing your keys down after a long day here!
Add some new hardware I grabbed from a craft shop.. And ta-da!
Ain’t she a beaut?!
