remember this?
the salvation army store end table?
good bones, but uuuugly!!! the finish had a glassy lacquer type shine...
here is the after, painted a soft gray with a gray glaze and a whitewash overlay.
what! you're surprised that i didn't paint something turquoise or heirloom white? me too!!
champ is standing guard.
actually, he is just doing that to annoy me.....he is a publicity hog!!
the part i like the best?
this drawer pull. how devine!!
the even better part?
fifteen dollars.....
take that ethan allen furniture!!! :)
because i have had some requests for information regarding color....
the paint i used for this table is sherwin williams big chill
sw big chill
i used a gray glaze made by mixing ralph lauren glaze mixed with dark gray craft paint and then i used a very light cream/ivory mixed with water for the whitewash overlay.

Nice work!

The little table is sooo pretty! I love the color!
I love this finish! A white overlay . . . perfect! And Champ - what a doll! Have you seen www.drawthedog.com? Check it out - it's a great site.
Would love for you to drop by and link up to Passion for Paint this weekend.

I did one of these too. Just love the way you finished yours. Yup, that glossy stuff had to go! Your dog is pretty cute too!
wow, this turned out fab! do you mind sharing your exact colors you used?
thanks! :o)
Very nice job! And I absolutely covet your find! Catherine

I love the "new" table - great eye for color!
This may be a weird question, but what kind of dog is Champ? We have a mixed breed, and he's got a lot of similar qualities to your dog. We've been trying to figure out "what he is" since we've gotten him! Thanks :)
It looks great in white.
