This little table was just a sad, wobbly gal with pretty legs when my friend Tammy spotted her for me. Tammy has a good eye for potential though! I've searched for her before photo but must have missed this one.
When all my new American Paint colors arrived I new right away what I wanted to try out on her.
Desert Cactus over Waistcoat. Desert Cactus is a gorgeous rich khaki color, and Waistcoat is a beautiful saturated Chartreuse Green color. So delicious with a bit of a kick!
I wet distressed just enough to let some of the Waistcoat peek through and even a bit of the original wood tones show up.
Some day I'm going to showcase Waistcoat as my primary color because I absolutely love it!
As a nice little surprise I painted the inside of the drawer and did not top coat with Desert Cactus. I love the little jolt you get when you open the drawer. That new knob reads amber to me, but photographs more plum like. Either way I think it is the perfect knob for this piece.
Once those legs were tightened up, and a few rough spots patched this fun little table painted up beautifully. Dark, antiquing wax, really richness up the colors, and it buffed like a dream. I love American Paint Company and their products!
Have a great week! Deb
