Cute Foyer table

This is a client piece.  They had me do their dining room table and chairs a year ago and brought me this table to paint like the others.




It was painted my go to color Crisp Linen from Sherwin Williams except I have it color matched at Home Depot, in the Behr Premium Ultra with primer in it.  

 I distressed the finish with the mouse sander and put a colored wax on it, being careful to not get to heavy handed with the wax they wanted it just slightly aged.



They of course were in a hurry for it!  Party on the weekend and all.  Glad I could finish it for them on time.  I must say I am starting to like the brass on the white again.  What do the rest of you think?

  1. That came out beautifully! I love how much nicer the cherry furniture looks with a coat of white paint. I use the color matching system at Lowes and love their Valspar Signature paint line which has the built in primer and covers in one coat!

  4. That looks great, but I would prefer dark handles against the white.

  5. Beautiful job, turned out so great. I am doing an antique vanity right now and wondered how you applied the antique glaze so it didn't go on too dark? I'd love to get some tips. Thanks

  12. I love this. When you paint, do you sand and prime first? I know with ASCP you don't have to do this step. I am curious about the Primer plus paint. I have enjoyed reading your posts. Thank you for sharing inspiring ideas.

  13. Betsy, I do very little sanding. I use Krud Kutter to clean the piece, then a Deglosser from home depot. I love the Behr paint with primer in satin enamel. I don't like seeing a primer color under another color when I distress. The enamel paint takes a long time to cure (like a month) but after that it is pretty sturdy.

  14. Thank you for your quick response. I have heard of a Deglosser, but I haven't used one yet. I had no idea you would use enamel paint. So many bloggers/painters use latex. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are very kind! I enjoy your posts!

  15. Betsy, The satin enamel I referred to is a Latex so sorry for that miscommunication.
