Inside my head….the big reveal.

Occasionally I find a gem and I found this piece on a virtual sale on Facebook.  Right place at the right time I guess and I knew exactly what color scheme I was going to use.  This table has beautiful lines and gorgeous hardware but it was hard to tell in the condition it was in.  Here is how I found it:

I decided to use Coco Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan for the base and AS Pure White for the drawer fronts.  I sprayed the hardware in a shiny black spray paint and lined the inside of the drawers with sheet music.  I shined it up using a clear wax and went heavy on the dark wax, I just let it soak into the grooves where if fell naturally and then really buffed it up.  I could tell this table had good bones and now with the new look, I think this table would look great in a foyer, a bedroom or sharing space in a room with a shiny black baby grand piano.  This table is currently for sale at Definitely Better After on Etsy.
