Old White table

Here is the sister to the aqua cabinet table I just finished.  I made this one a little more refined and neutral.

Love how the glass knob is perfect - I wanted the wood to be the focus of the piece, not the knob.

 This was a bit too plain jane, so I added a wodden applique to paint and distress.  This is Old White over Graphite, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

 Here's a close up of the wood.  It is reclaimed barn wood with several coats of dark wax on top.

 Isn't it just deliciously weathered?  I think this would be a perfect entry table with a bit of storage underneath.  This piece will be for sale in October at Fredericksburg Trade Days!  Click here for the link.

Drum Roll Please...

Here she is!  A primitive high chest:  She is for sale for $130.

Remember when I posted on Facebook asking everyone to recommend a color for this?  Well, the vote was overwhelmingly red, so although I had none and really didn't have it in the budget, I just had to go buy some Emperor's Silk chalk paint.  I've been wanting some for months, anyway.

Because it's a pretty chippy piece, I knew I wanted to play that up and have several colors show through.  First I painted it French Linen, then put on random bits of Graphite and Aubusson Blue:

 Some close ups of the final piece:  I kept the original hardware, but purposely did not scrub all the old paint off.

Fun drawers!:

Look, a little bit of green peeked through from a paint job ages ago:  Love surprises like that!
