Accent Table in Fusion's Night Swim Milk Paint

Refinished Solid Oak Queen Headboard – Classic Black with Rattan & Elegant Details

This stunning queen-size headboard is a true statement piece, crafted from solid oak and beautifully refinished in a rich, classic black. It features gracefully curving finials, intricate oval cartouche accents, and a striking inset rattan panel that adds texture and timeless appeal. Finished with a smooth satin clear coat for durability and a subtle sheen, this headboard blends traditional charm with modern sophistication.

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.
