Accent Table in Fusion's Night Swim Milk Paint

Green and Floral Round Tray Makeover

This round tray has been completely reimagined. Its original shabby chic white finish has been updated to a rich dark green, and a delicate floral rice paper adds a touch of elegance. A final layer of dark wax deepens the colour and accentuates the details, giving it a beautifully aged, vintage feel.

This cute little accent table was dropped off to be painted to match the recent antique accent table I did that the customer purchased.

It is a veneer and MDF construction with a super smooth finish. Will milk paint work on it? Yes indeed!

To be sure the paint will adhere to the table it was cleaned well with a damp cloth soaked in warm water, a bit of dish soap and Fusion's TSP Alternative.

Have you heard Fusion Mineral Paint now has a milk paint line?

The color used on the antique table was night swim, a deep rich navy blue. I added FusionBonding Agent/Ultra Grip to the milk paint to ensure a smooth solid coverage to this slick surface.

I also used the night swim on this antique table as I mentioned above and toasted coconut on this antique crate and this antique drum table.

Two coats were applied (3 on the two tops) then sanded smooth with a sanding sponge which makes the surface feel like satin. To seal it and keep the antique feel I chose Fusion Hemp Oil which was brushed on, allow to sit for about 30 minutes and then wipe off the excess with a shop towel.
