Sofa tables are asked for allot but hard to find in my area so when a friend had this one needing some TLC I jumped at it.
The inlaid veneer top had been partially sanded then left.
There was water damage as well so a good power sand was in order to smooth it all out.
Two coats went on (above is just 1 coat)
and then it was time to address the solid wood curvy turned legs base.
I found this inspiration photo on
Pinterest, I wanted an aged zinc look
then Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black
The next layer was
Old Fashioned Milk Paint in light cream then snow white, so many layers yet so many shades of colors to give the desired effect.
All the layers were sanded smooth, milk paint sands to a buttery smooth surface.
then wiped back as per the can's direction. Did I mention how much I love this product?
And the final step just to add even more durability and a hint of sheen I applied
Fusion's clear wax.
I LOVE the look and think it indeed looks like aged zinc
Enjoy all the finished photos and watch the video at the end too
