Something Bold

Several , several years ago , way before I painted furniture to sell I took a  class in chalk painting.  I took a wood table with me and in a room full of people who also brought pieces of furniture I learned a few things about the ins and outs of transforming castoff pieces in to masterpieces.

Here is my actually piece from that class……

I am crappin’ ya’ll negative here.

I really don’t know what happened here.

Long story short this table had sat in my garage ever since.  Currently, I am struggling to do two things:  empty out the garage and find furniture to refinish.

Today’s victim accomplished both!

This color is General Finishes Persimmon.

 It is a brilliant orange with a drop or two of coral in it and it is way, way out of my wheelhouse.  I had about half a can in my paint cabinet.  It came in a two boxes of paint, brushes and finishing products that I bought off FB Marketplace a few years ago.  When I cleaned out that cabinet a few weeks ago I was about toss that can.  While it is a gorgeous color and  this table turned out beautiful, I’m pretty sure persimmon will not be in heavy rotation around here.

The top looks amazing ya’ll!

Had I know the wood looked this good I would have sanded this baby down sooner!

It is a beautiful color 🙂

Have a great weekend ya’ll!
