Take me to the sea

I finished this project quite a while ago but never got around to posting it. I think the table was a thrift store find and it took me ages to complete as I did it in stages when the motivation hit me :) 

I started by painting the top using Fusion Mineral Pain in Casement and the legs and edge in Midnight Blue which I buy from my friends at Charmed and Chalked in Grimsby. They also stock my WoodUBend and Posh Chalk products which may also be purchased directly from me directly in my website.

I them added some spray adhesive to the back of my nautical compass stencil and let it dry for a few minutes before laying it in the centre of the table. I painted it with  Midnight Blue and a mix of Rust-Oleum Charcoal and Aged Gray. I love the contrast of the blue and gray. Here is a close-up of the top:

I had a bit of bleed through so I did lots of little touch ups with it. I still need to practice my stenciling skills, but I am sure I will be getting a lot of use out of this one. I can't remember where I bought the stencil from but I recall it was a company in the US. If I can figure it out, I'll edit my post.

I didn't change the hardware on the table. I just highlighted it with Posh Chalk Lemon Gold Pigment and Infusor to make a paint-like consistency. This dries fairly quickly and the results are gorgeous. The pigments come in many different colours. I will admit that Lemon Gold is one of my favourites.

I would love to hear what you think of this little project. I'll be listing it for sale on the website shortly.

Well, that's it for this post - short and sweet. 

Stay tuned...I should have an additional surprise announcement or two in the coming weeks. Until then, stay safe, happy and healthy!
