Last week my daughter and I went to a couple of garage sales.And after the first one I spotted this vintage wood table.
The price was a steal at 10.00! I really did not need another table but this is one of my weaknesses!
I brought it home and knew where I would put it…in my studio!
The table that was in my studio is not going anywhere I stored it away for now.
As you can see the table was not painted when I found it I snapped a photo of the before just as I started to paint it.
Yes I almost forgot a before photo….again!
It was in poor shape and the patina was not nice.
I decided to use a mixture of Louis Blue and Duck Egg blue and a bit of Pure white Annie Sloan chalk paint.
After I based coated this with chalk paint I waxed it with Miss Mustard Seeds wax.
Have you tried her wax? It is now one of my favorites!It has virtually no smell,dries fast,and buffs to a nice shine!
I heard she has a new wax out I cannot wait to try that!
Okay back to the table.When the wax was dried and buffed I then mixed up some of Miss Mustard Seeds Milk paint in Linen and applied a coat of that.
As it dried it started to flake off….I love that!
I was looking for a chippy painted finish!
After it was done flaking and chipping off I sanded it just a bit more then applied another coat of Miss Mustard Seeds wax.
It’s a little smaller than my last table but I really love the extra room in here!
It’s nice having a little drawer on this table.
Perfect for storing scissors and things.
That knob was one I already had on hand.I was not crazy about the plain wood knob it came with.
I love this color and texture!
It adds a touch more color in here and picks up some of the green in my curtains.
I bet you are surprised I did not paint it all white!
Some dried roses from some of the flowers I purchased last winter.
I have not had good luck drying roses from my garden.
Still just a hint of color in this sweet bouquet.
I don’t have a paint recipe to share.I basically added Duck egg blue and Louis blue and a bit of pure white until I got the color I wanted.
I love experimenting with paint.I am not afraid to try different colors or mix different painting techniques together.
This is the second time I have used milk paint and chalk paint like this.
The first time was on my fireplace mantle HERE
Gorgeous!! and what a bargain. Holy, I would have brought it home too even though I have tables stacked up in my shed…
Great makeover!!
What a sweet little tale Anne. Luv the paint job.
Hugs, Gee
What a great find! I can’t believe it was only $10! I like how it has a piece of wood going across the bottom of the table too. That would make a cute island in a country kitchen too. The milk paint you added is the perfect touch.
Love it! Great make over….love the colors.
It looks great! Just like an old farmhouse table! The new knob really looks like an antique and gives the table extra charm! Great job!
BEAUTIFUL makeover Anne!!
Would have been added to my table collection too :)!!
GREAT job Anne…and YES…I am pleasantly surprised it’s not WHITE!
Vintage Love,
Janet

I love the design of the table and the color you came up with. I would have no place for it, but I would have grabbed it too.

Cute table….looks good in your studio!
I enjoy your blog. Please come on over and check out my new blog at http://gigipinkglitter.blogspot.com

I love this table Anne…It could be used in so many places. And if you had a tiny kitchen, it would make a great small island. I mix and match paints too so it’s really hard to give a tutorial on some of the techniques I use. I wish I had a huge garage so I could buy all the sweet little pieces of furniture that need a little tender loving care.
It looks really good and I love the color you mixed up. What a bargain, I would have bought it also. I need to try Miss Mustard Seed’s wax, heard so many good things about it.
What a great redo on your new-old table Anne!!! That was a steal at 10 bucks. Such a neat find and it look so nice in your studio. You and your daughter did good—real good :))))
sending hugs…
I love this Anne, the color is wonderful. you can NEVER have enough tables!!
Anne it turned out perfect! Duck Egg is one of my favorite colors.
Who could say no to a $10 table. Not only a bargain but she is such a cute shape too. Now she is perfect with her new paint colour.
