Antique 3-Tier Table - Before & After

This is another one of my first pieces that I painted, a wee bit back, and I was also really happy at how this one turned out.  I decided to paint this table a lighter shade, because sometimes the simpler the better!  There was a lot of detail to this table's design to begin with, so sweet and simple on the color it was, and I think it turned out quite nicely.  The info and pics of it are below...
 

**NOTE: Each of these pieces are for sale unless otherwise noted; feel free to contact me with any questions.  Remember - I also do custom requests!
The 3 Tier Table is just a lovely, light grey color, that I slightly distressed.  I then added a bit of dark wax to give the paint a bit of an aged look.  The dark wax really brings out the details in the claw, ball feet, as well as the carvings!

Antique Blue Chippendale Low Boy - Before & After

This Chippendale Low Boy was one of the first pieces I painted, a little while back, and I must say I was really happy with how it turned out.  To be honest, it's probably my favorite piece thus far!  I especially ended up loving the fun punch of color I chose for the inside of the drawers!  Kind of reminds me of the saying surrounding the mullet hairstyle (horrible analogy, I know); except with this, it's all business on the outside and a party on the inside - HA!  The deets and pics of this piece are below... 


**NOTE:  This piece is FOR SALE, and as always, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!



This Chippendale Low Boy was painted a gorgeous and sophisticated shade of blue, all the while I decided to mix it up and paint the inside of the drawers a bright and fun shade of coral.  I refinished the original Chippendale hardware by painting them in a soft hue of gold.  I then waxed this lil' in a clear coat to forever protect the paint and lightly distressed only a few places to finish off the piece.  Hope you like!
