Drexel Heritage Basque French Revamped!
Well I had painted it before like this
and put it up for sale.
Then I had painted some end tables in
annie sloan's old ochre.
I really like the color, sooo
I painted the from drawers that color.
Left the white I had painted previously
on the shell.
Here was the way I painted it before.
I had did a unique wood finish on the drawers....
Here is how it turned out after I painted the drawers old ochre.
I did my flat finish on the chalk paint...
I don't like how thick the chalk paint is
out of the can.
The flat finish I did on the chalk paint worked
it's really smooth and flat!
Made by Drexel Heritage.
We had made a wood cover for the top
middle drawer.
I did my aged finish on the handles...
I just love this look on ornate hardware...
I think I did excellent on aging them!
Looks beautiful both ways, but I like this way better :)
Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......
This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile.
It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.
We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....
but I pulled it off and painted it.
Here they are before. UGLY!
Do not like those 4 set handles either.
It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)
Made by Lane...
I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...
I used Old Ochre.
I get some customers who ask if
I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.
I primed all of it except the tops...
Then I hand painted it all....
distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..
darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...
Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...
.
I waxed everything else...
Chalk paint is super thick!
I don't like that. So I did my flat finish.
I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,
I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...
Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.
I did a aged look on the handles...
LOVE My handles I did!!!
Here they are completed!
Way better than before!
