Hi Friends...
I started off the year with a few paint projects using a new to me paint Maison Blanche. I know it's been around and I'm sure some of you might have already tried it but this was a first for me and I have to say I LOVED IT!
The pieces I was using it on I wanted to paint black, so I used their color called Wrought Iron...my friends if you are looking for a true black this is it!
I found this cute little rattan piece at an antique shop for $12 right after Christmas.
I figured I could move this table back to it's original home in the family room and use this new piece here instead.
It just needed a good cleaning and a little makeover.
And now for the AFTER...
I shopped the house for accessories and used things I already had. The only thing that is new is the Le Creuset crock that I put my little evergreen tree in that I had from Christmas.
I'll let you in on a little secret...I copied this idea from Angela over at Number Fifty-Three ;)
I just lightly distressed the edges on this piece. I love how the original color looks with the black.
Another BEFORE...
and AFTER...
I'll show you the other piece I painted with Maison Blanche next!
Have a great week and thanks so much for stopping by!

That turned out so pretty! I've never heard of that paint before. This time of year is great for indoor projects like that.
It looks so great! I had not heard of that paint. Is it a chalk paint?
really nice i will have to check out that paint for sure
Great makeover, Martina. Love the black.
Love that color, Martina! I was so happy when I found it, too, to get that true black color. It goes on great, doesn't it? Your piece looks great and works perfectly in that spot. I love the tree in the crock. I wish I could get motivated. I supposed I'm just tired of being cooped up for the past few days. I did do some sewing, but I have a painting project I want to get started on. Hopefully, this week!
Your little shelf turned out great! I have never seen that paint before so I will have to check it out.

Love the color and distressing on this cute little shelf, Martina. It's perfect under your black framed prints.

Love it, Martina. So pretty painted.
beautiful Martina. Luv the black.
Your projects are always so well done. I love the black, Martina! Stay warm.
Beautiful make-over Martina! I have been wanting to try this paint out but I haven't done so yet!! You've just inspired me.
What a beauty! I love the silver compote. I can't tell you how many of those I have sold in my booth and I don't have a one now. Shoot! I've got to get busy hunting again.
Love your blog. I'm gonna be following you and hope you'll visit White Lace and Promises.

That was a fantastic find Martina. I love how you updated the rattan. It now works so well with your prints.
Looks so good in black, Martina! I have a similar shelf and you just inspired me to paint it :)
Fantastic makeover! I have used that color. Happy New Year!
That really looks great! So much better in black! I love the le creuset crock with the tree in it, too.
Cute piece, Martina. I love it!...Christine
That is a good black color. I bought and then scratched a table on Saturday because I have talent that way. I am going to paint the top black. Thanks, Olive
loving that black. never tried that line of paint. how different from the ASCP?
I was just wondering today if there was a paint out there that is blackish. I assume it's kind of like chalk paint. Your shelf looks great!
Everything looks so pretty and clean! Love your new shelf!
it's fate you posted this today because I have that exact piece that I had my husband bring out of storage yesterday...I thought about using it in the bathroom I'm about to re-do but I've been hesitant to paint it. mine is in really good shape and I'm not sure I want to paint it but if I do I'm going to use the paint you recommended. yours is beautiful!
I love how this turned out! I love how you've 'styled' it, too!
Susan
Martina- That is PERFECT there and I love the color and the bit of distressing! I have never used that paint but it looks like it works great. xo Diana
much better. Love the true black
I just stopped by to tell you how much I loved this furniture and to comment on your little tree because it is, in fact, the same as mine and I saw that you gave me a shout out! Thank you so much for being so sweet!

What a great makeover, Martina. Black looks wonderful on the piece...a great find and redo!
LOVE it friend!!…how'd you like that paint compared to the chalk paint??…Happy New Year!!

Hi Martina,
What a great makeover. I love the paint color and the bit of distress. I am a fan of black furniture and have it all through my home. Your accents make it all the more perfect. Looks like you are off to a great start to the new year. Thanks for sharing the paint. I have not tried this one. How does it stack up to Chalk paint.
Happy New Year!
Hugs
Hi Martina! I love your little piece and how you've painted it. I haven't heard of the paint but it's always good to know. Also, I love the picture of yourself! You're so pretty.
be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
it did turn out wonderful,it's always so fun to recreate a piece and love it
What a great piece! I love how you transformed it with the black paint!
I have a feeling you are gonna be painting something else soon in the wrought iron, it turned out great. I too like that color, but I've been out a while as I'm trying to use up all the other stuff I have.
Love it Martina! The color and finish are perfect for that spot!
Martina, what an awesome makeover! I love it, may have to try that on a small table I have. I've been wondering what to do with it, now I know!
Oh love it..it looks great…have not tried that paint yet…I have heard so many positive things about it...
WOW! Beautiful color, beautiful makeover!
O, this is sooo cute...I would love to have one like it....
I have a white wicker tea cart that I'd love to paint black...but I've never heard of this paint...may not have it in Lubbock.
Your piece looks beautiful where you have it...and now, I want a little tree in a pretty white pot...:)
I am not familiar with Maison Blanche paint and will have to look for it. One of my local shops just began carrying Miss Mustard Seed Paint. I have to drive quite a distance to buy Annie Sloan Chalk Paint so I am thinking of trying MMS. I will have to see if anyone local carries MB paint.
Your little shelf turned out great. I love the places where the old finish comes through on the black.
Wonderful! I love the color and it's perfect on this piece. I really like where the original color shows through a bit!

I love Maison paint too. I used it to paint a little round table and it's one of my favorite pieces. Your new picture is stunning!
So nice to meet you. I lived in LI most of my life and my children were born at LI Jewish Hospital. Live in Omaha, NE now and visit LI quite often.

What a Cinderella moment for that piece, looks great! Popping in from Susan's and will be following along now!
Hi Martina, I came over from Must Love Junk. You have a beautiful home and the rattan piece is gorgeous in black! I have never heard or seen the paint you used but I love the looks of it! We are in the beginning stages of renovating a true cedar shake cottage. I love getting ideas from blogland and since I enjoy a "french touch", I'm sure I will get lovely ideas from you! Blessings~~~Roxie
Turned out beautifully!
Blessings,
Cindy
Congrats on the feature, Martina. Your home is beautiful and so is your family...Christine
Love your transformation Martina! I have not tried that paint yet.How does it compare to other chalk paints?

Looks fantastic! The black is so sharp...and the styling is perfect too.
What a very nice transformation!
Martina, I LOVE the way the little table came out! Always love your home and projects :)
