Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Gustavian Table

Vikki and I have been hard at work in the Atelier all week experimenting with our new favorite paints & Waxes by Annie Sloan.  The colors are just fabulous and perfect for recreating the very chic & oh so sought after Gustavian look.   This table was hiding in the back of a brocante in la Chaux de Fonds just waiting and calling out my name!  It was really pathetic looking with a shabby (but not chic!) inlay on the top and worn finish.  It got a new lease on life with a combination of Old White, Paris Grey & Louis Blue and a high shine after a few coats of clear & rustic wax!  Im thinking of bringing it to Carte Poire's Chat, Glog, Gossip & Spend tonight but am not sure if I can part with it.

Paris Gray, Louis Blue & Old White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint & Rustic wax

The old wax really brings out the brushstrokes & wood's contours.
