Cece Caldwell Brand rep project package #2 antique coffee table

January 2016 brings a new year and a new project as a CeCe Caldwell paint rep. As I was scrubbing up this oak dining table and considering the color options, it struck me as vintage white with dark details. The edges have great details to enhance and the vintage white keeps it neutral, fresh and able to fit in so many homes existing décor. I also purchased this super cool Queen Anne style coffee table that conjures up the same color scheme ideas.

My Cece rep pack #2 held just what I needed to make this vision happen; vintage white paint, hickory stain and endurance finish. It also has Chesapeake blue but that I will save for another post. ;)

I decided to start with the coffee table first to see the end result I am envisioning.

first order of business; a good scrubbing and sanding both power and hand (which took forever as the old stain was very crackly) then scrubbed again

1 thin coat of CeCe vintage white paint was applied then some sanding block distressing to keep the vintage piece aged

To further age it, I applied via dry brush technique, the CeCe hickory stain. To allow for easier movement of the stain and less saturation into the paint,  I had applied a coat of satin varathane before doing this step

 

the stain accented the curvy carved legs and sides, again I sanded the piece ending with medium to heavy distressing all over

The final step once all was dry was to seal with 3 coats of endurance sealer. Time to stage it for your viewing pleasure.
