with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace in a satin finish. It took three coats. Next I waxed it with just plain old Minwax finishing paste, then used an antiquing glaze that I mixed with some french gray paint. Following that, I dry brushed it all over with some more of the chantilly.
This is the result...
This table is behind the livingroom sofa. It was a bright manufactured white. So, I gave it a similar treatment...
Gizzie and the gang had a lazy Sunday, how bout you?
Okay, you know the drill. Get out there and create, paint, repurpose, build, find, sew, write, cook and craft yourself something beautiful.When you are done, be sure and share it with all of us.

What a fantastic table, Sissie! I love the shape to it! It looks great. What an unusual plate rack - I love it! I'm going to be trying that chalk paint soon myself. Still waiting on it to arrive and I'm very eager to try it out on my thrift store headboard.
Hi Sissie, I love the tables! The color is fabulous,and i love the vignette with the pretty flowers.It looks sooo pretty.

Love those shutters! I like your vignette right now - wouldn't change a thing! Wish I had a Restore near me. I think there is one near my sister so next time I pop over to my mom's, I'll have to stop in!

Your projects turned out lovely Sissie!
Love, love, love the soft white finish with just a hint of gray! The little carved out top in the shutters makes them extra special. I want them!
Your tables turned out great Sissie! That is a different plate rack I wonder what it's for too. With the exception of dinner, my Sunday was much like Gizzie's:@)
The paint treatments look great, Sissie. I love the style of that first table. I have trouble with vignettes, too. I place things and then start over and over and over. Thanks for joining my party this week.
Your tables are really nice especially the first one. Love your finish.
Sissie you get more done in an hour than I get done in a week I swear. Your tables turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for telling us how you did this. I have two pieces that I have got to get painted. Uh...how would you like to make a trip to Idaho?????
sending hugs...
That table came out fantastic Sissie! No need for changing your mind on that one. I also think the shutters are great. So many things you could do with those...You could stick a potted ivy plant in the center of the plate rack thing...
Love the tables. I am inspired but must find some time to get at the pieces of furniture waiting for some attention right here in our livingroom.
Hey Girl, this turned out beautifully! That big table is amazing, great job!! I always love seeing your sweet kitties!! xoxo Debra
I love this colour Sissie...i painted my island the same colour but i have yet to wax it!
You do stunning vignettes!

Love what you did with the tables!!
Jeanette
Oh you found such great things this week and have them all dressed up so pretty in their new paint!! The table the shutters are on is really a wonderful style!
Oh wow, Sissie, I am in awe, you clever girl!!! It's all fabulous!!! Purely breathtaking!

Sissie- Your table is wonderful..and so is the 2nd table you painted! That is an unusual plate rack. I wonder what it was used for~ Your vignettes are lovely! Hugs- Diana
Such a gorgeous tecnique! (thanks for sharing it as well!!) We'll get busy...we promise :)
Sissie, I think it is perfect! I just can't get on the chalk band wagon when I am doing stuff for resale. It's hard to justify the cost. I could justify it is it was for something in my home. I like the medicine cabinet shutters

You are a fresh breath of inspiring air!

This piece is really beautiful! What are those three (serving) spoons? Silver plated? Are they for sale? Seen any good hotel water pitchers lately?
Lovely job..they look fantastic! Your new header is gorgeous too... have a great week!
Wanda
Love that look you get in your painting projects. That is a interesting plate rack?? Gizzy girl is gorgeous as always and Charlie send kitty kisses!
hugs, Linda
I love your table with the beautiful vignette of the flowers, box, and shutters. It turly does look like a photo right out of a magazine! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!
Hi dear,-
the tables looks fantastic- I love your finish on them - and you got a whole new table behind your sofa.
Also love the shutters- there are so many things I would love to take a closer look at, in your booth, Sissie.
You are such a talent on altering , dear
Hugs,Dorthe
Sissie, I love both the tables. You are such a good painter and perfectionist.
Linda
Ooooooo, Sissie, I just got a chance to check out your post! You did a fantastic job on that table! The vignette is beautiful!
As always a fantastic job at refinishing!
Gorgeous!!! WOW You are so talented!
What a nice color you ended up with. Very pretty... and the soft gray really complements and balances the sofa color. The medicine cabinet doors are so clever, love them grouped in threes like that.
cindy
its all great looking, but your kitty stole the show~
Both tables look great! Love the shape of the first one especially.
Your table looks wonderful in white. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
Sissie~ I am so unsure how to paint anything other than high gloss -white.
I don't know how to do this painting, waxing... etc technique.
I read these posts like a student! Thank you for sharing! You do an amazing job! GORGEOUS!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
Oh Sissie, these are gorgeous!!!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
Yummy, as always, Sissy....
Huggies,
Spencer
PS.... and, if I'd get off the computer and get back to the darn sewing room I'd have something to share. :-)
WOW, just beautiful! I am going to have to go check out that habitat restore! I first heard about it on Kathy's blog. They have one here in Sacramento!
