I recently finished a cute little antique sewing table (here) and had a request for another one.
I found this one at the same Habitat for Humanity and was so glad to be able to do it in a different color. She sent me a pic of a Spanish Tiled floor and said she would like it to look like terra cotta. Loved that idea!
I started with the color Armagnac from Sherwin Williams (which is a muted orange) and then dark waxed it to give it some dimension (which is always hard to tell in pics!).
Before
I always wonder how many people passed it by not giving it a second thought or thought how ugly it was (or not useful anymore).
After
Love the warmth in these knobs and think they compliment the paint color so well.
It had a beautiful cherry top that I stained with Java gel. This is a horrible pic!
Love how she turned out! Until tomorrow! :)

ReplyDeleteI would never have thought to choose this color, but it came out so gorgeous, and the wood looks perfect. Thanks for sharing at Redouxinteriors!
ReplyDeleteYou used dark wax on a latex paint?
