What a change up for this coffee table don't you think?
The before shot
After cleaning well with
Simple
Green cleaner, warm water and a cloth, I tried using this paint stripper to remove the old finish. It did not work as planned so on to plan B.
The top was power sanded with my
Dewalt orbital sander to be sure any loose old finish was removed and smoothed.
Then a navy; Plaster Paint's Paris, was added in the recessed edge areas with a small brush
as well as randomly over the entire piece with a wider brush.
The next layer of color was
Dixie Belle peacock brushed in the centers of the squares to highlight as well as randomly over the top and edges with their oval brush.
For the last layer of paint it was back to
antebellum blue brushed on while using a
spray mister now and then to allow the paints to blend really well.
It all blends smoothly together for a worn blue jean kinda look but of course brighter.
I wanted to add some texture to the stencil as the table has allot of character marks that will blend well with added texture to give a BOHO feel. I chose
Saltwash to add to the navy Plaster Paint. You just need a wee bit of
Saltwash powder and mix it in the paint with a pallet knife till smooth.
These videos give a better visual but once mixed, using a small roller it was rolled over the stencil.
On the base, Minwax dark wax was brushed into all the nooks and crannies to catch in the oak wood grain. Then it was wiped and buffed well. This dark wax was brushed on the top once dry as well too.
And it is done, what a gorgeous piece don't you think?
