A few weeks ago I showed you my new tufted ottoman in the great room. I also told you the old coffee table had moved to a new space.
I decided to replace the tiny red top coffee table in the sun room with this larger nicer one. It just needed a bit of a change.
I decided to make the top navy blue. I mixed Annie Sloan chalk paints Aubusson and Graphite together till I had a rich deep blue.
I started rolling the same lacquer on top that I put on my kitchen cabinets, but it wasn't looking right. I stopped and let it dry and then sanded a bit of that off and waxed the top with clear and dark waxes.
I love the way it turned out.
You can read how I painted it the gray color before here.
I hope you have some projects and other things to share here tonight at Wow.
See you there!

Looks beautiful Kim! How do you find the time to do all these projects? I have so many things in my head that I need to get done but I work full time and the weekend just fly by so fast. In any case the table looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteKim, love the ottoman and I love the color of the coffee table! I hope that you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteMy only projects at the moment are gardening, Kim. I admire how you change a piece with paint. As I sit typing this out in the sunroom, I look around and think I should add some painted pieces to this space. We definitely need new cushions. '-)
ReplyDeleteI love the paint color on the top of the table Kim. It is so pretty and so perfect for your sunroom.
ReplyDeleteKim, the new color looks fabulous on the cocktail table, I am obsessed.
