Up-cycled Oval Table and Night Stand

Recent projects I finished.

First is a nightstand I did in Versailles and Old White Annie Sloan Chalk Paints. I think I found my personal style with this one. I love the visual texture I made and it cuts down on the time to distress, if I even need to distress at all. Also with this style, one doesn't have to worry about future chips or scrapes because they will just add to the shabby chic look.

The second one is an oval side table I did in Paloma AS Chalk Paint.

Upcycled Coffee and End Tables

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint was used for upcycling these thrifty finds. Colors were Duck Egg Blue, Coco, Old White, and Old Ochre. The coffee table insert has a simple painting of cattails, grass, mushrooms, a pair of bugs, and a butterfly. The style of the set is shabby-chic. It is protected by Annie Sloan's Clear Wax. Painting and table tops have an extra coat of wax.
