Antiqued chalk paint end table - Paris graphic image

This week I am loving earth tones. Muted greens, greys, cement, stone...love it!


Another Hermanus junky find. I really found some fun stuff on our trip there! I don't have a very clear shot of the before, so I am jumping right in and showing you the finished table!! This darling has lovely curvy legs and a scrolly top!!

I really have to take better pictures...lol!!



Like the rooster milking stool, I used the colour called Cement Wash by Plascon mixed with plaster of paris for that chalky paint effect! I then transferred the Paris graphic using the Modge Podge method! I grabbed this graphic from Karen The Graphics Fairy.
I distressed the table in all the right places, and then rubbed in mahogany wood stain for the antiqued effect!






e-voke...to create a -new!

  4. You've done a great job - I love the distressing on the table and the graphic. I saw your table at Knick of Time where I had a similar item. You should link up to Debbiedos as she has a party every Monday for blogs with less than 100 followers. There is a button on my sidebar.

  6. Sure wish I could find such great tables to refinish. Love everything you did on that table. The curvy legs are great and the top with the transfer. You'd be hard to match. Happy days Sumaya
