Shabby Vintage Nesting Table Makeover with Maison Blanche

by

Thanks for stopping by!
This is my latest project.
It involves a sweet little set
of nesting tables and some fabulous
Maison Blanche Vintage Furniture Paint in Debutante

I adore this color.
It’s the perfect shade of pink.
A little bit vintage… a little bit shabby~glam!
We have had practically no Summer here
and with the odd rain showers,
it was so convenient to be able to
paint in the house.
 
In fact, I did not notice any odor at all…
but the furniture was stinky as heck!
After the paint dried, I think it sealed
all the stinky in, because it smells fine now.
Whew!!
This is what I started out with.
A set of 2 out of 3 nesting tables.
The Largest and the middle.
No idea where the tiny 3rd table is?
This set was from a yard sale and it was no where in sight.
Sort of sad to see the trio separated.
Originally, they were a dark, reddish hued wood.
After
 
I loved getting to skip all the prep work.
No sanding. No priming.
Just the FUN part 🙂
A light base coat, and a second finishing coat offered plenty of coverage.
I distressed it with a real quick one-two using some sand paper.
Then I was ready to add a little luster.
I used some Folk Art craft paint in
Champagne Pearl. I applied it with a cheap sponge brush, sliding it right along the edging with a light touch.
I just wanted a soft, sheer, washed look.
I was a little nervous working on this.
You know when you like something and you’re not sure if you should stop at good enough or keep going?
Well that was me with this.
I’m so glad I added the tiny bit of
pearly shimmer though because now
it feels extra special.
I finished it off with some clear wax and that is when I got this pretty shade, with a little more depth and complexity.

I’ll be finishing up the other little Qt next.

   Unfortunately, it has some pretty big issues with the table top. It’s already painted in Debutante… but I am still cooking up what I’ll be doing with it as far as a repair.
I’m so happy to have found
such a great paint product to work with.
The more I use it, the more I love it!
In fact, I love
Maison Blanche Vintage Furniture Paint so much
that it is now available here in Oregon at Fox Hollow!!

    It’s beautiful, Shannon. I love it! I know exactly what you mean about leaving alone or adding one more step. I have regretted not stopping many times! You did great though. Your instincts were good. Can’t wait to hear more about the paint.

    That turned out great, Shannon. I love the color and have never heard of that paint.

    Are you sure there was a 3rd table? I have seen them sold new with just the two tables, too. I just love the job you did on them- xo Diana

    Shannon, I love the color, and this project turned out so perfectly vintagey feminine. And….you got accepted to BlogHer! I did too, but am having such snafus with my code still. Woo hoo for you and me too!

    What a transformation! I just finished my first ever painted furniture project but when I went out for a couple of hours there was a freak thunderstorm/hail shower (was sunny when I left!) and it all got ruined! Perhaps I need to get some low VOC paint so I can do it indoors next time…

    Gorgeous color and I too love the fact that you skip all that boring stuff and skip right to the painting!

    Maybe the little table is hiding from the pink paint? I heard he’s really macho and pink isn’t his color!

    Great job on these tables. I love the color and I am not a huge pink fan. Love the tone. Great that you are selling this paint Congrats!.
