Antique Fold Down Sides Accent Table Restore

  This stunning antique drop leaf table is both functional and full of charm, the fold-down edges that make it ideal for smaller spaces while providing extra surface area when needed. Measuring 30”W x 22”D x 24”H, it’s the perfect versatile piece. The top has been beautifully refinished in a rich walnut stain, complemented by a warm white milk-painted base. Light distressing and dark wax enhance its vintage appeal, preserving its timeless character. A lined drawer, finished with elegant damask paper, adds a lovely touch of detail and practicality. Let me share how I achieved this updated look. before

Ornate Mirror in Annie Sloan Florence


I love me a beautiful mirror so when I saw this gold ornate one at an estate sale I quickly grabbed it up. I knew the ornate gold detailing would pop with a color over it. See a lovely warm white one here and a similar ornate one in green that I did for my home and this trio in white as well.



The color I chose to compliment the gold was Annie Sloan in Florence. I had just my kitchen step stool in it. Two coats were applied
Then a wet rag was used to wipe back to reveal the ornate designs


Once dry, the entire mirror frame was sealed with Annie Sloan clear wax.


And to bring out the detail even more I applied Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax.


It turned out beautiful but it is so hard to photograph mirrors ;(
