A Matching Work Table
Well I couldn’t very well have a beautiful sewing table
sitting there all alone in my craft room without a worktable to match now could
I? In one of my recent Saturday Morning Adventures, I came across this solid
oak table at a flea market for a STEAL! Completely boring, but a good, solid,
sturdy piece of furniture none the less.
That’s always something you want to
look for if you want to give furniture restorations a try yourself. A piece may have the ugliest shade of orange,
or may even be covered in a ton of stickers (one of my upcoming projects :) If
you can look past the ugly and see potential, you got yourself a project!
I chose Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White for the base color
for the table. So easy to use, no prep, no sanding, no fuss! AWESOME! Love
it!!! I gave it two good even coats, because of the rich color of wood.
Kinda look like bowling pins huh? :)
Then I
taped off the areas I was going to paint as the accents. These areas I painted
with some left over Behr Paint and Primer in Gem Turquoise I used on the sewing
table. Looking back, I really didn’t need to tape off the areas. I had to go
back and do so many touch- ups it wasn’t worth the time it took me to tape it
off. If you have a steady hand, you
shouldn’t have a problem doing it on your own. Skip the painters tape.
It needed something else… So I applied a wall decal I found in
a clearance bin at a local craft store to the top of the table.
I gave it a coat of Annie Sloan Clear wax and distressed it
up a bit and finished it up with another coat of wax.
