Entry table make-over how to layer paint for an aged look…..
I finally finished the little entry table that my 3 little chickens base-coated for me on spring break.
I love the look of layered paint. It instantly makes a piece look years older with great depth.
The easiest way to make it look like it’s been around for years is to layer related paint colors.
This was a dark wood table that I started adding layers of paint to. It can be any paint. I prefer flat, but use what’s on hand as long as it’s not gloss.

It had been blue with a second coat of green all over the base. I then added a coat of cream.
 Then a good sanding with a low grit sanding sponge, and finally
a coat light brown glaze and polyacrylic.
I love using the wall color with a glaze. It always “goes” but
looks different enough to stand out.
And of course I always love a good antique knob to add to the look.
It makes it picture perfect !! Too corny? 🙂

I have never glazed a piece of furniture before~ is is very difficult? It seems like it might be!

What an adorable table – the glass knob drawer pull makes it !
I don’t know which is more adorable….your table or your paint crew. I always love your music too!
What a sweet table. Such fun to have the three little chickens helping.

Looks like it’s always belonged there with the fern print and accessories.
You are a fab mom to let your wee

It’s not corny at all it is gorgeous! Looks like you are training your girls well. The fern pictures are wonderful!
Beautiful! I love the finished product, and the fern paintings are fabulous too!
I am loving your blog. I vow to come to the next sale, no matter what ( almost).
I have almost the exact same table! I thought it was identical to mine until I took a closer look. It’s pretty darn close though 🙂
