It was an eye-spy-with-my-little-eye moment.
There I was. At an estate sale.
Not an ordinary estate sale.
A super-fancy-wear-something-without-paint estate sale.
Everything was completely out of my price range.
Until I saw this.
$30 done and dusted!
In retrospect if I'd seen this sweet girl at an op shop
I might've thought $30 was a bit steep.
When in Rome...

Here's how she came up.
Now she could strut right back into that
estate sale with pride if she wanted!

I prefer maintaining some of the history of antique pieces.
And I love the history this table tells.
Well worn. Well used. Well loved.
I sanded it back very lightly to keep the tale it wanted to tell.
For a one-step easy-as stain and seal --
Fusion's Antiquing Tough Coat Sealer is unbeatable.
I love the stuff.
It deepened the timber just enough
but still allowed the grain to show.

The carved detail on the legs drew me to a lighter colour.
Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in Mustard Seed Yellow?
Yes, please!
Add equal amount Bonding Agent to
mixed paint to prevent chippiness.
The Mini-Whisk is my favourite milk-paint-mixing tool!
I keep it handy and mix as I go.
I used a MMSMP Natural Bristle Paint Brush for
a more authentic milk-painted look.
Happy Painting to me!

The first coat uglies with Milk Paint!
The finish was more stubborn than
I thought and it took three coats.
The beauty of Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint,
you can apply one coat after another once it's dry!
Here's the second coat drying:

Everyone knows I love me some metallic.
Fusion Metallic in Pale Gold did the job!
Not only to stencil the table top but also
as a glittery band around the table base.

See that band around the table top? Who doesn't love a gold belt?!
This coffee stencil is pretty-perfectly-awesome.
And we've only got one left in stock!
I've used it countless times on countless projects and it just keeps going.
It also comes with a different location (Hawaii)
and the silhouette of coffee beans.
You can mix it up and use it as you like.
I went traditional,
moving the stencil downward to fill the space of the table.
Be sure to check out our full range of stencils and
don't forget a QUALITY stencil brush! It's worth every cent!

Time to finish up with a coat of Miss Mustard Seed's Furniture Wax.
I prefer a quick coat of this delicious,
non-stinky, non-sticky, non-toxic clear wax before
coming along with MMSMP Antiquing Wax.
A good quality wax brush helps to get into
the tight spaces and spread the wax better.
I used our Madeline Wax Brush to make the job easier.

Just a hint of MMS Milk Paint's Antiquing Wax
brings out the detail and gives the entire base further dimension.
