Check out this old drum table that I picked up at an auction last year. I love this style of table, simple and elegant. Again, I knew as soon as I seen it what I wanted to do with it. Any guesses so far? Stay tuned!
After a good bath with vinegar and water it was ready for paint. It would take three coats of General Finishes Milk Paint in Antique White. With a little dry brushing in Driftwood in between coats, only to the top. I want this piece to have that aged feeling.
Next up, some numbers and a French typography graphic from The Graphics Fairy. I did use stencils for the numbers and then drew the graphics on with a black Oil Sharpie. After everything is complete, I will add a black glaze over the top and Ebony wax on the rest of the piece. Last thing to do, use General Finishs Flat Performce Polyurethane.
Yes, it is adorable, ready for a beautiful room!
Thank you so much for checking in on my junk adventures!
Peace, love & junk!
