So it is in my blood…. what can I say… My dear late Mother would paint anything that stood still….. She apparently didn't care for beautiful woods….. I guess I have the same problem. Oh don't get me wrong when we acquired this dining room table from my mother in law back in the 80's I was into "country decor" you know the geese, the baskets, Oak anything…. I loved it. Well my mother in law passed away a few years after we bought the dining room outfit from her…. the other items have been given to kids… but I still liked the table. It is not as sturdy as it once was. I hope she forgives me for painting this and I will just believe that she would be happy that I still use it in my home, and that her granddaughters each have some of her antiques as well! I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Cream. Wishing I would have gone with a lighter shade but I am loving it for now. I also painted the chair legs with French Linen which I think I really love that gray color! I ended up not using the wax this time but using Minwax Polyacrylic in Satin finish. If you want to try out ASCP it is a little pricey for the quart but if you have a small project you can get a sample size jar for $12.00…. So here you go… I have had the shingles this week so I was sick of knitting and needed to do another project.. Of course it had to include paint! Hope you are staying warm! Enjoy the pictures…
