Before_After

This was my first attempt at rescuing an old(er) piece of furniture.  This was an Ethan Allen Hutch which a fellow Oregonian didn’t need anymore.  I bought her from Craigslist.  I knew I wanted to keep the tabletop wood toned, so the first thing I did was sand, sand, sand.  Due to the small surface area, it really didn’t take that long to get down to raw wood.    I have been using Graco Truecoat Plus II to paint my furniture.  I love it, but I’ve never tried anything else.  I sprayed this piece with Sherwin Williams Antique White, distressed with a rotary sander, and used a mix of glaze and a brown sample coat of paint from SW to give the antiqued, dirty look.  It was quite fun:).

I’m loving royal blue accessories, so I used some I picked up at various thrift stores to style the furniture.  Styling is my favorite part:).  This is a little more country, but I thought the piece lent itself towards that:).

I cannot tell you how much I hem-hawed over this piece.  It was the first thing I put up for sale, so I critiqued it to pieces.  I have a tendency to do that:).  Also, to be a bit of a perfectionist. but being a distressed piece I was a able to be a little bit more forgiving:).
