Then it went to this... I used AS Old White
I just ordered a new rug for this room, so I figured it's the perfect time to change things up a little. You know what that means... out comes the paint brush, and this table was first on the list.
Here's it's new look...
I used AS Coco (love this color)! I didn't want to distress it heavily so I just distressed the details to make them stand out and a little around the edges on the top.
Love how the old white comes through along with the original color.
It doesn't stop here!
After bringing it back into the sitting room it just didn't seem right to me. This is a very casual room and the piece looked to perfect. So out came the sander again! I know this look might not be for everyone but it goes with the style of the room so much better now.
I sanded it until I got a layered worn look.
Love it!
Boy this sure was a long post for just one little table! Hope I didn't lose anyone along the way:)

That table deserves the attention you just gave to her. Fantastic makeover Martina!
ReplyDeleteI love it Martina! I think it looks fantastic heavily distressed like that. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteOh Martina! What a fabulous new look!! I wasn't crazy about the first look, but adding the Coco was genius! I totally love this look.

It looks good both ways, Martina. I do like how the white showed through on the details in the first pictures. It's such a pretty side table, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, Martina, it's just gorgeous! What a pretty piece! Can't wait to see your new rug.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
It's perfect! I still haven't tried AS paint, yet, but this is convincing me I need to get some asap!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table. The style is beautiful and I love the little carved detail down the sides. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteGorgeous makeover Martina!! I love the color.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantantic paint job It look's great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous table! I love the way it turned out with the layering and distressing!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of the table and your post about it, great paint job on it!
ReplyDeleteHi Martina,
ReplyDeleteGreat makeover!
Love that coco! Beautiful texture as well.
All the Best,
Christine
The table looks beautiful. I have not seen that color Coco before. It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Martina! Love your home and your pretty blog. I'll be back often.
ReplyDeleteI like it all sanded up. I think I might need to get some of the coco color before I do anything else here. The warm tones of the browns are what I tend to like, and I've been using the french linen and a Caldwell slate, and those just are not right for my house even though I like them.

Thanks for sharing it with us today. So happy that you stopped by for a visit. I sooo enjoyed your sweet note!

Awesome make-over Martina! I love the DISTRESSED look. Is AS coco a gray or tan? Hope you're having a wonderful day, Gail
ReplyDeleteHi Martina,
ReplyDeleteThe table transformation looks great.
I love it all shabbied up. Sometimes I think I go too far with the sander, but I love how it makes furniture looks worn and pretty.
Good job.
hugs
Sissie
Martina, I love it. Pure perfection!
ReplyDeleteOh what a fantastic makeover.
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! I love the way your paint jobs are layered so nicely. You will have to show us what it looks like once it is back in use. I love to see the vignettes that you make.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that yet, perhaps one of these days I will.
Hugs, Cindy
Oh Martina, I really like how your table turned out. You did such a great job on it.

ReplyDeleteThat table really has personality now, Martina. You did a great job. I have some of the AS Old White...now I'll have to get a little Coco. Linda
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully again. I love the details in this table too. Hopping over from 2805. Hugs and happy weekend wishes. Katherine P.S. Its giveaway time at Katherines Corner!
ReplyDeleteI love the change. I liked the white too, though. Grey is quickly becoming my new favorite color to decorate with.

Hi Martina,
ReplyDeleteI love the makeover. The added distressing was so worth it. The layers of color are fantastic. Is that the new rug I see?
Dee
Simply lovely. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMartina, I love it! YOU are so inspiring me. I mean that.
ReplyDeleteBarb ♥
Love the Coco treatment too!!
ReplyDeleteMartina,
ReplyDeleteLOVE that piece and all the layers.Perfect.
I think the weathered and distressed look is perfect for a kid's area. I mean if it already looks a bit battered, they can't really ruin it any further! I love, love, love what you did with this! Have a lovely weekend x Sharon

Love that colour too! I can't wait to start all the furniture painting that I have planned, now that I can bed again with babe out of the belly =) Now I just need to find time to do it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful transformation. I love the color with the white peeking through. Such a great idea. I like everything sanded a little more, too.
