Claw Feet Side Table



Recently I acquired a sweet little side table from my Mom. Downsizing, she had some furniture she didn’t need any more and I snagged this table. I forgot to take a before picture but it was a medium to dark brown. I fell in love with the green color of my sideboard and decided to try the ASCP color Verailles.
 

First I painted the table with the chalk paint.
 
 

Then I did a little distressing.
 
 


And set it up in the perfect spot in my family room.



 But something just wasn't right. 
 

And then it came to me....the top was nice but a little boring so I decided to add a little color and design.

I was inspired by the colors of this pillow...

....and the design of this wall iron.

So..........
First I stenciled a similar design using a home made chalk paint in a blue.  You might remember the stencil from this project.
 
 
 

Next..on with color #2.
ASCP - Arles

 

Finally the last color, (an my favorite), Red!
 

Thanks for visiting,

  2. That stencil pattern is too cute! I really love the table. Makes me want to try Versailles. Is the color as light as it looks in the photos?

    1. Thanks D. You won't believe it but I have redone the redo again (post to come soon). I loved the red but the rest of my family didn't so out came the paint brush, LOL. Thanks for visiting.
