A Child's Table

I picked up this cute children's table/side table at Goodwill.  I sanded down the top and then painted with ASCP Duck Egg.  I used painter's tape to create the chevron pattern and then topped it off with ASCP Pure White.  I sanded the entire thing and then finished it with clear wax.  The legs were coated with Pure White and the bottoms of the feet are Duck Egg.

Empire Dresser With Swing Mirror

This.dresser.took.forever.  It didn't help that I was chipping off veneer when the temps were hovering around 0.   The entire dresser was veneered.  I had to remove everything off the front of the dresser because it was so chipped.  After I had it smooth, I painted it with AS Provence.  The veneer on the top and most of the drawers was still in good condition.  I ended up having to paint the 2 larger drawers because they were pretty beat up.  I used General Finishes Shaker Maple on the drawers and top.  The entire piece is sealed with AS Clear Wax.

French Provincial Tables

I picked up this pair of french provincial side tables on CL.  I sanded the tops down and stained with Minwax Dark Walnut.  For the bases, I tried a new Annie Sloan color:  Louis Blue.  I LOVE it!  It is a beautiful soft blue.  I then distressed and waxed.  The tops are sealed with a clear poly.
