Painted Vintage Side Table

First off, I have to tell you~~~~

The Kitchen cabinets are completed.
It took me 3 days from start to finish.

Painted, Sealed and Finished.

However, I don't have pics to share yet, but I will soon.

Today I want to share this sweet vintage side table I found a few months ago.

When I saw this little gem at one of my favorite antique markets, it just had to come home with me.

With a flip open top for storage, it is built very sturdy and the perfect size.

I knew it would be right at home in my sitting room.

So out with the chalk paint and the makeover began!

I used Lace, by DecoArt. 

It is one of my favorites colors now. Not a true white, more like a soft vanilla ice cream.

Here it is now.

I was going to add more details on the skirt, but decided less was more and with a little distress and the natural aging on the edge, it's perfect.

Look at the light crackle that happened on the edge.

I added a glass knob to the table front.

When I found the table, I also found this beautiful little candy dish.

Pure joy!

I left the aqua accents to the mix for summer and painted this little birdhouse.

In my recent post for this room you saw black accents in here.

Since then I moved the black rug, tables and accents to the library and here is the new look.

I am loving the tone on tone of whites and creams, 

and the best part~

I found this gorgeous rug with that combo too.

Have you painted any furniture lately?

Have you tried DecoArt Chalk Paint?

Chateau Accent Table Idea

Hi there Friends,

Do  you ever have items in your stash to create with, but a long time in the making??

That was how I was with these elements.

Four great table legs and an old table top, found at different times with the thought

I would create the perfect table accent.

So as I was cleaning out my storage room next to my studio, I decided it was time to

do something with these 5 pieces.

To the table top I added 4 leg attachments for the assembly.

Painted the top Honeysuckle Bloom flat paint

and the legs with Yesteryear Americana Chalk Paint.

Love this color.

It's like a soft grey blue and goes with everything.

When the top was dry, I added two stripes in the same leg color.

Over that,

 I stenciled the word CHATEAU

with pretty scrolls to the top and bottom of the word.

If you could see my store room of stash, you would say, I still have a lot to do.

You would be right~~~~

But getting this table done is long over due and I am so happy with the finish.

I'll be keeping this one for my cottage,

but planning to have small furniture accents tables in my Etsy shoppe soon.

It has been some time since I offered furniture

and I miss working on these pieces.

Nothing too large like I designed in the past, but smaller accents to 

add to cottage decor.

***********

Below is a new vintage tray just arriving in my Etsy Shoppe

I designed three of these and this is the last one left. 

Love the added flower bud and leaves to the tray edge.

If you have not tried DecorArt Americana Chalk paint, you will love it and the price too.

The tray Dream and Hydrangea Tray above was painted with the same Yesteryear chalk paint

like the table legs.

I also recently found another chalk paint by Folk Art, in Parisian Grey.

Haven't tried it yet, but I'll let you know how that one is.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great weekend 

and 

always Southern DayDreams
