Ohhh, la la

Here is a cute little Frenchie end table/chest I just finished.  The table was in good shape except for the top which had several water stains and the finish was peeling off. I almost forgot to take a before picture  but here it is with a drawer sitting on top.

Curvy little gal isn't she?  Just look at those legs! 


To start refurbishing her I sanded the top and since I would be using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint I just cleaned the rest no sanding needed.


I then applied Old White to the sides and legs and Louis Blue to the drawers.  When that was dry I made a wash of Louis Blue by mixing equal parts of paint and water and applied it to everything I had painted white and wiped off the excess.


Next I made a wash with the Old White of equal parts paint and water and applied it over the drawers and again wiped off the excess.


The drawer pulls I painted with two coats of Old White.  I really like the way it turned out the drawers almost look like they are suede!  Here are the after pictures.

After I took these pictures I added some white rubber feet to the legs and lined the drawers.


Hope you enjoyed this project until next time happy painting.
