Dean and I have been really busy working on a lot of things for the markets and shows that we'll be participating in over the next few months. Although I'm trying to focus more on holiday related items, I can't help but include some furniture in the mix.
We picked up this table at an auction this past weekend. I loved the curves and the carvings...making it the perfect subject for me to try out a gorgeous color by Real Milk Paint Company in Peacock Blue. It's a stronger color than what I am used to....but it is soooo pretty! No question, I LOVE using milk paint - probably more than any other kind.
The above is actually the auctioneer's picture....guess who forgot to take a "before" pic.....
I don't think their camera has the right date. :)

I gave it a couple of coats of the paint...
...then highlighted the details in Navajo White along with some distressing.
One thing I love about this milk paint is the variation of colors you get!
Look at those knees! It's hard to get this authentic chippy look with regular paints. After giving her a nice light sanding and a couple of coats of wax, she stands proud once again.
The girl's got curves!
I love how it turned out.
She'll be available in our tent at Deep Creek Vintage's Grand Opening and Vintage Therapy Market this weekend!
'til next time!
