Just finished painting a cute end table for my customer's living room, see below. She wanted it painted fresh and in a fun color.
I've selected some photos of rooms from BHG as inspiration for the color that I would paint the table.
source: BHG
Steps I followed:
- Wash and sand
- 1st coat = 1 cup of light grey latex paint + (2 tablespoons Paris Plaster + 2 tablespoons of water mix together, then add to the grey paint ), mix very well.
- 2nd coat, same procedure as above but with a different color, in this case a darker teal blue
- Top finish with dry brush stroke in a light teal blue.
- Let dry overnight.
- Distress by sanding lightly....try to get all coats to peak trough in different spots from top to buttom.
Hope this will inspire you to try a paint project of your own! Don't hesitate if you have questions it will be a pleasure to assist you.Thanks for stopping by and have a great one! Suzanne
