Teal Rustic Country Coffee Table

Here is a big change up for this well worn coffee table. The style and original rustic country finish had me thinking my favorite teal finish. You have seen me do it on a vintage dresser and another coffee table with mandala stencil in the past and it is always a big hit.

There is a drawer that missing getting in the photo with one knob was missing.

It was cleaned well then hauled out to power sand some of the edges and flat surfaces. The original dinged with worm hole look has been enhanced with use which is fine for the rustic look but needed to be smoothed. The areas that had been sanded were sprayed with Zinsser Bull's Eye spray shellac to seal the areas to have the same surface as the original finish.

The first paint step was to randomly brush on Dixie Belle paint in the color peacock using Dixie Belle's oval brush. Some of the random areas were a bit thicker and swirled for added texture.

When dry and almost full coat of in Dixie Belle antebellum blue was brushed on and another full coat once this layer dried. On this coat I also used my mister bottle of water to blend all the colors smoothly.

However after painting there were some areas that still were not smooth enough for my liking. This was easily solved using my carbide scraper from Richard tools to make it perfectly smooth. The areas were repainted as above and all is ready for the next steps.

The entire table was sanded smooth with a Dixie Belle sanding sponge which reveals some of the peacock color in areas. Using another Dixie Belle oval brush which I have dedicated as a wax brush I rubbed in Dixie Belle's best dang wax in clear. Can you see my new shop puppy in her kennel?

The final step was adding definition to the rustic details as well as add more color to the blended blues by adding brown Dixie Belle's best dang wax where needed with a chip brush. New knobs were sourced and painted in the same sequence along with the wax steps and put back on.

This gorgeous beauty is complete.
