Peacock Blue Table

Geez what a weekend!  I worked my hiney off getting furniture ready to sell and it's taking me SO long to get it all posted.  I hope I get faster with practice.  I have this table posted here ready to go to a new home!

I had alot of fun painting this one...here is what the poor thing looked like when I brought it home..

 Gorgeous oak table in need of a makeover!

After:

I am really loving this color!

Here's the breakdown:

First a coat of Wipeout by Behr. I didn't want full coverage, so only one coat.

Then I dry brushed Dover White (remixed from Benjamin Moore) over it.

I drybrushed horizontally & vertically.

Before drybrushing...

After drybrushing.

Then I used my sanding block to distress it.  I glazed with Ebony by Minwax.  I've tried a lot of different glazes and I always go back to using Minwax stain.  I really like how you can manipulate it and get the exact look you want and IMHO you can't beat the colors.

Last step was to protect the finish with a coat of wax.  I wish I could keep this one but I can't, so it's up for sale!

I'm linking to the parties listed in my sidebar.

Talk to you soon!
