Paris Grey Night Table

This was a garage sale find.  I forgot to take the bofre picture before I removed the hardware.  But you'll see it soon, I left it 'as is' and used it on the finished piece.

I refinished the top and painted the bottom in Paris Grey (ASCP).  I then waxed the bottom in AS Clear wax.  The top is protected with a wipe-on poly.

Gate Leg Table

I was so excited to find this table at a thrift store.  The store even came down 1/3 of the price.  I had been looking for something like this to double as a sofa table and extra seating for large gatherings.

  I've decided the Old White is a little too yellow for my personal taste.  For this table I mixed Old White with Pure White for a lovely creamy white color I'm very happy with. (Both ASCP)

I painted the legs with this mix and then waxed with Annie Sloan's clear wax.
