French side table
This is a French side table kit by Art of Mini. I started with a coat of Bittersweet Chocolate by Americana. I want this to be an old table, perhaps once stained and lovely then re-purposed with a coat of paint (or three).
The Folk Art Vintage White paint I had was very thick for being rather old, so I added some water. With the dark undercoat, it took several layers to even out. I used a light grit sanding stick to bring out some of the dark details from underneath.
I added metallic detailing with Taupe by Folk Art. I used a rubber stamp and the same paint on the top. I rubbed the piece again with a piece of brown paper bag until I had a nice sheen.
The legs warped a little, but that adds to the antique feeling...at least that's what I tell myself.
