Champlain

The past few weeks I have been concentrating on smaller pieces of furniture and quilts, but thats a story for another day.  I am giving my joints a bit of a rest from the heavy, larger pieces.  This break is especially important for my shoulders particularly .  I have torn both biceps before and need to pace myself.  Today I am sharing the latest one,  a curvy piece that I used a new paint color on , a color that just might me my favorite new white.

I found this darling table at my neighborhood Goodwill for ten bucks ya’ll.  Ten bucks for a cherry side table!  I will take that action any day of the week.  It was in perfect shape except for a black circle the size of the bottom of a pillar candle smack in the middle of that top.   Luckily it sand out just fine.

The original finish was pretty heavy so I really could not appreciate the beauty of the cherry.  After sanding with 80 grit and finishing with 120 grit I then restained with Minwax dark walnut stain.  I love a dark top but you can still appreciate the beautiful wood.

See those lovely curves ?

I painted this table in Fusion Mineral Paint’s Champlain and I could not be happier ya’ll.  It is a warm antique white without any yellow tones at all.

I’m pretty sure that I have told ya’ll this before but when a piece has only a few spots to add the jewelry I try to add something really lovely and special.  This knob is a perfect example of why.  I found it at Hobby Lobby for $7 and I know just what you are thinking.  Yes, I swear by the $2 knob but it was 50% off week, the table was $10……..and sometimes, just sometimes I just say what the hell,  ya’ll 🙂

It reminds me of a crystal ball 🙂

I think this color is the start of something for me.  I love the color, it covers well in 2 coats as apposed to most whites and has a built in topcoat.  I think ya’ll will be seeing more of this one.

I hope you have a great week!
