General Finishes

I sanded a cable spool table then painted it in Queenstown Gray and white wash wood stain both products of General Finishes.  with a damp rag blending in colors. I then dry brushed to highlight areas. I applied a French transfer to the top and then sealed it in high performance top coat. I cut the foot out for storage in center of the table. I added another transfer to the door as well. I then used Flat out Flat and then High performance to seal it with. I added rollers to the bottom for easy movement of the table. She's now ready for tea time.

Who paints a entire piece in 9 tablespoons of paint ??? I did-- I created this custom mix of Patina Green and White Wash Stain. Patina green is a awesome color but I wanted to tone it down a bit. I used 3 tablespoons of the Patina Green and 6 tablespoons of the White Wash Stain. Blended together in a ceramic bowl until mixed thoroughly. I then applied by dipping my brush in and then wiping some back off. I applied it like a dry brush effect first. Then added more where I didn't want as much of the natural undertone coming through.

A once peeling table now becomes a bright rainbow of colors. I first sanded the top to bare wood . I then used a water spray bottle to mist the wood for easier blending of the paint. I used patina green and Klein blue streaking back and forth with  a brush till it looked blended. I then applied burnt umber in various stokes to add a wood look, applying in strokes randomly. I used the Klein blue on the over all bottom then repeated the steps above but leaving more of the Klein blue showing on the sides. The front I also blended till I got the look I wanted.
