This wood table had a fairly smooth surface so just to be sure my paint would adhere well I lightly sanded over the surfaces. A good scrub made sure all sanding particles and any past "dirt" was removed again giving a great surface to apply paint over.
I started with the inside. The original mesh was sprayed flat black.
Soapstone covered all the walls and floor to not only add contrast but to give a fresh new coat for future storage.
Once fully dry overnight I added a soapstone wash over the pebble. To do this I mixed it about 50/50 with water, brushed over the pebble and wiped back with a damp rag. This was perfect to catch in the detailed nooks and crannies and give added definition and dimension to the curvy piece.
A light sanding with a sanding pad distressed the edges a bit as well. And to give the top and inside floor additional protection I applied two coats of
Fusion's tough coat.
To finish the piece, I sprayed the hardware the same flat black as the mesh.
perfect as a nightstand
or accent table
