Hello! Jessica is filling in for me today and sharing a Beach Chic Table Makeover with you!
It’s a super little Before & After – Enjoy!!
Well hello there Foxy readers!
I’m Jessica from Mom 4 Real, and I am sneaking in here while Shannon is on vacation to share this sweet aqua side table!
Not too long ago, I got the chance to try one of Maison Blanche’s new La Craie paint colors, Colette. I love the color itself, and am using it on several projects around my home, but for this table, I wanted something quite a bit lighter. I decided to mix the Collette with some Magnolia (Maison Blanche’s version of white). I simply mixed 1 cup of Collette and 1/2 cup of Magnolia and mixed them together in a glass dish and this is the color I got this beautiful light aqua shade. The wonderful thing about the Maison Blanche paints is that you can mix them to make different colors, and as long as you actually measure them, you can recreate the exact same color over and over again!
Here is what I started with…
This table had taken quite a beating over the years. I had painted it a beachy blue that doesn’t really fit our decor anymore, so I was excited to give it a new look!
I love the way it turned out! Just sweet and oh so aqua!!!
I also used the Collette (mixed with Magnolia 1/2 & 1/2) to paint a darling dropleaf table.
I have to say, I am in love with both of them! They make the perfect pair in varying shades of Collette, don’t ya think?
Thank you so much for having me here! I hope you will stop by and visit me!

I love that color, Jess! I’m a total “aqua-holic” as Shannon calls it 😉 so this table couldn’t get any better! Fantastic color!

The colors are just beautiful. My next stop in my blogging today will be to check out where to buy Maison Blanche paint.
Thanks for the inspiration for the several pieces I want to paint.

Love seeing you over here, Jessica! Your Collette pieces are beautiful (and how awesome you mixed it different strengths with the Magnolia to create your own perfect shades)! Thanks for sharing.
