A Mixture of Paints

This little table was a flea market find in the spring that I'm just now getting around to painting. 

 It was a dirty white with some gold stripes when I found it, so I painted theentire table with Caromal Colours Reclaim paint in the Mocha color, whichbasically is just a nice brown.  I wanted to cover up the white and gold so I couldget it to a stage that I could work with.  I couldn't decide what color to putover it until I was at the Springfield Extravaganza Flea market lastweekend and a vendor there from the Dayton area was selling the Annie Sloanpaint, which I had never tried.  Since it was available to buy on-the-spot, Idecided to pick up a quart and I choose the color "Versailles", which isa soft olive green.  

These pictures aren't the best since my house gets such poor natural light inthe summer.  I didn't realize the color was so similar to my wall colorso the contrast here isn't the best to show you what this color really looks like.I do like the way the chalk paint sands out when you distress it.  I have always liked chalky paints and how they sand so smooth, but it suredid make a dusty mess.

Isn't this the prettiest little tray?  I ordered them to sell at the store and theymake the perfect container for small displays.  Well- off to the storefor both items.
