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?

Farmhouse White End Table


I loved this solid wood end table built by Kaufman of Collingwood here in Canada when I first saw it. I knew it needed a color update. I thought about a few colors but white always keep coming to mind.

Step one; clean it well on all sides with a good cleaner ( I like TSP, soap and water)

Step two; paint it with House & Canvas paint in angora white

This Canadian made paint goes on smooth and covers well, see above how it covers the dark stain on the first coat.


Two coats of angora white were applied, here is complete first coat.


I distressed all the edges (as per my census poll on Instagram) then sealed it with 2 coats of clear Minwax polycrylic.



After these photos I also added Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax to the crevices to add just a hint of age to the farmhouse feel. 













Thanks to House & Canvas on this fabulous Instagram prize package, click here to see a Bombay Watch Chest in the angora white and an end table in the antique teal
