Crème de la Crème: April 2012
http://painted-furniture.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. Some years ago I bought this little stool. By then I was crazy (and still I am) about mosaics, my idea was to cover the top and part of the legs and then paint the rest. For the mosaic I used broken crockery, basically plates with nice colors and patterns. I also used some glass nuggets. I use it now as a bedside table :-). I got this bench some time ago, I painted it white and left it. The white paint alone wasn't enough. not for me! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm happily marrie...

Crème de la Crème: Country bench
http://painted-furniture.blogspot.com/2012/04/country-bench.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. I got this bench some time ago, I painted it white and left it. The white paint alone wasn't enough. not for me! One day I woke up knowing exactly what to do to refresh the look. I got my Annie Sloan paints. Aubusson Blue mixed with a bit of Original.after it was dried I applied a white wash on top. I left the seat natural and added a bit of dark wax, I love the finish! May 23, 2012 at 2:02 PM. May 24, 2012 at 7:54 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Crème de la Crème: August 2011
http://painted-furniture.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 20, 2011. Wax Vs Varnish or Eggshell Paint and Farrow and Ball. I have realized that waxed furniture is not really the ideal thing when you have little kids in the house, as it is my case. Cabinets, side tables are ok, but dining chairs and kids furniture need a different treatment, a different finish. So I treated myself to a 2.5lt tin of F&B paint:. There are so many beautiful colors to choose! But because I want to paint my dining chairs I went for Skimming Stone. Fun shabby chic signs.

http://painted-furniture.blogspot.com/2012/02/rustic-chalkboards.html
Friday, February 24, 2012. It's been some time since the last post, I know.I have been very busy and the weather wasn't ideal to paint either. But I'm back and I'm very excited with my latest project :-). I bought 8 kitchen cupboard doors on Ebay.solid oak! I immediately knew what I wanted to do with them. The shape and surface was ideal for this. Then I took another door (56 x 50cms) and made a simpler chalkboard. I also used AS paint, a light Aubusson blue, then a coat of Original.

Crème de la Crème: June 2012
http://painted-furniture.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Nest of tables transformation. I recently painted a few small tables for a guy who owns a furniture shop nearby. I began with the nest of tables:. The curvy legs and carvings had a lot of potential! I used AS Paris Grey. I sanded the tops and finished them with a coat of clear wax followed by one of dark wax. Don't you think they look lovely?

Bought her latest book, some paint and the fun begun.yup, that very day! The paint itself is a pleasure to work with and the finish you achieve by using wax is fabulous. Picture Window tem...
