Shabby Chic table......... My first venture.....

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're keeping well,

Last friday I took my son to get the keys for his new house,

While I was waiting for him,

I discovered a lovely shop.

Shabby Chic Interiors.

Curiosity got the better of me, So I ventured inside......

I'm so glad I did, I met the owner, A lovely lady named Louise....

She was so helpful & friendly,

I could have stayed in there all day.

She doesn't know it yet, But she inspired me to paint a small table...

This is the result,

I hope you like it.

This is how the table was before I started.

It was in a sorry state.

I removed the varnish with sandpaper,

Then Reg took it in the shed & applied paint & varnish stripper.

(Thanks Reg)

The next stage was to apply an undercoat.

Then I gave it two coats of paint,

When it was completely dry, I sanded parts of it to give a worn look.

Items used.

Sand paper.

Varnish remover.

Rust-oleum, Chalky finish Furniture paint.

Chalk white.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog,

I really appreciate your comments.

Lots of love,

Sylvia x
