Entry Table Makeover

I've had this entry table for a long time and it's in need of a makeover.





I wanted to use this in the Dining Room and knew exactly what color it needed to be.


I started with the same color as I had painted my Bedroom furniture.  You can see it here and here.


In order to get the color I wanted, I had to mix in some Black.






This is what I ended up with.  I LOVE this color!


Once the paint was dry, I dry brushed on a lighter color to highlight some of the "architecture" of the piece.














Of course a "New" table means a new vignette.



























Please let me know you stopped by, I love your comments!
