Since I went down to bare wood on the table, I applied some Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner first. I didn’t want any of that red/orange wood color bleeding through my paint. (wow, it was dirty!)Īnd gave the entire thing a coat of Shellac. I then cleaned it up to get all the grime and “age” off of it. Not only that, but almost all of the edges around the table had to be glued as they were also lifting and would eventually break as well. Which actually turned out so well, I have no idea which one it was now that it’s painted! ) There was an entire piece of veneer missing above. I should mention I had a bit of repairing to do with this table before I got started. You can see it here, French Round Side Table Makeover. Seriously, I love it so much, I actually did another piece with the same colors. I just adore this combo!! The color is really amazing. Next I added a bit of Provence over top of those other two colors.Īnd painted the inside rim of the top portion. If you look closely, you can see the hint of paint left behind from the dry brush technique. Want to see a VIDEO on exactly how to dry brush? All the ins and outs, here > “ How To Dry Brush – Video“ I actually use those little brushes for a lot of things so always have them on hand. My favorite brush to do “dry brushing” with is a chip brush, like this one. That just means I use a dry brush, with very little paint, to apply the coats that follow. The main coat goes on like regular, than the following coats go on with a “dry brush”. I did one good coat and then went back over, where needed, once it was dry.Īs you can see above, I layered a bit of Florence over top of the Aubusson. To create this layered Chalk Paint effect, I started by using Aubusson Blue. Let’s talk a bit about that right now and we’ll circle back around to the top treatment. That, by the way, was taped up because I was putting my first coat of paint on.

(I considered it ) )īut no, I really wanted to see that wood….so pulled out the ole sander and got busy finding the pretty wood underneath. I could have just said forget it and painted it instead. Those stains had sunk down into the wood. Here’s how it looked after two runs with the stripper.īetter, but still yucky. But I thought, “I’ll just get my fave stripper out and take all that junk off and it will be good as new!”.
