Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Painting the new Farmhouse Planked Table Top & Maple Base Part 2



It was time to paint this planked table top we built (If you missed how click the link)


On the freshly sanded raw wood I randomly brushed on a wash of Fusion Mineral Paint 's Little Lamb then covered the entire top once dry with Homestead House Milk Paint in the color raw silk.


Two coats covered perfectly allowing the little lamb grey to peek thru here and there.


The orangy stained maple base was painted with a custom mix of Fusion Mineral Paint 's little lamb, soapstone and pebble to get a medium grey. Again I went with two coats for the base.




The apron was securely affixed to the table bottom and the legs put on and flipped for a quick look


then back on the work table where the inside edge of the apron was carefully cut in with the medium grey paint, yes I am OCD like that ;)


The underside of the newly constructed plank table top was painted a coat of the Homestead House Milk Paint in raw silk too and once dry it was sealed with Fusion's tough coat matte wipe on poly.


Flipped over the top was painted a 3rd coat of milk paint, sanded smooth with a wee bit of the raw wood distressed to show and sealed with 2 coats of the tough coat wipe on poly as well. This give the milk paint a nice smooth durable seal.


Once dry I added further dimension and aging to the rustic farmhouse look with Fusion Mineral Paint's black wax. The wax also adds a soft vintage sheen. After a couple weeks of curing time
I added 2 coats of Polyvine as well for additional durability.
