Green and Floral Round Tray Makeover

  This round tray has been completely reimagined. Its original shabby chic white finish has been updated to a rich dark green, and a delicate floral rice paper adds a touch of elegance. A final layer of dark wax deepens the colour and accentuates the details, giving it a beautifully aged, vintage feel.

Salt and Pepper sets in fun colors


I love wooden salt and pepper sets, big and small. They are a fantastic way to add color and fun to your kitchen and dining rooms. Here is a few I recently painted up to restock.


see all sizes but all solid wood




step one.. scrub up all well to remove and oil or other things that may impede paint adhesion
then paint


This large 14"+ french engraved grinder was painted Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black, sponge sanded and distressed then sealed with 2 coats of  Fusion's hemp oil



This sweet little chubby with silver hardware was painted 2 coats of 
Fusion Mineral Paint in the fun color azure. Fusion has a built in top coat and just required a light sponge sanding to smooth the paint to a buttery finish.



This smooth dark wood beauty was painted 2 coats of my most popular S&P color to date: American Paint Company's Fireworks red. After a light sponge sanding the paint was sealed with APC clear wax then dark waxed details which also enriches the red color using my favorite Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax .



The 12" Baribocraft set was done in the same steps





And for this last set I chose American Paint Co in beach glass. Again 2 coats went on with APC clear wax sealing them up and Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax last for the added age and detailing.
