Pretty Scrolled Table
Next weekend is Chartreuse's Spring Market Days. I've been a busy bee and been painting like Van Gogh's painting frenzy in Arles. (I still have both ears!)

French Stamp End Table
Before: Nondescript, blah table:
After: Wow!
I like to paint with Annie Sloan chalk paint (old white). The Graphics Fairy has fantastic images. I really like this french stamp image. It was tiny, but The Graphics Fairy has a tutorials on how to enlarge images and various methods to apply the images. The stamp printed out on 6 pages (reversed image)! After cutting it out, I applied Mod Podge on the top of the painted table; carefully placed each piece (face down) on top of the Mod Podged table and smoothed out all the bubbles. After a night of drying, I used a wet sponge and with a lot of patience, gently wet/pealed away the paper until I got to the image. Some of the image pulled away, but I liked the look. After the image dried again, I applied 2 coats of Mod Podge (drying between coats) to the top of the image. Then hand sanding. A dry brush with a bit of Annie Sloan Emperor's Red chalk paint. More sanding. Finished with Annie Sloan clear wax; dark wax, clear wax. <whew>

Pop of Green
What was once a very blah table is now a bright and happy accent piece!
I painted the table with 2 coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (ASCP) Pure White. Next, one coat of ASCP Antibes Green. I watered down ASCP Provence and applied it twice as a wash (letting it dry between coats). 200 grit sand paper to age the piece. Final step: applied Annie Sloan clear wax and buffed.

Union Jack Accent Table
This is one cute table! Union Jack top, sassy casters on the bottom. But, ewwww....this was once an ugly table.
Once again, I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, the best paint in the entire world.
Table will go on sale for the Chartreuse Market Days, April 5th & 6th. Will consider early offers for purchase.
