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!!

I love the luster you added. It was just the right finishing touch. It sounds like we’re painters of a similar mindset. I always have a moment where I either can’t decide if I like the piece or where I wonder if I’ve gone one step to far.
With this one, you struck the perfect tone.
Beautiful.

Oh, I just love the color that you chose. Such a sweet, soft pink and the shimmer is perfect! I’m so glad that I ran across this. I’m part of the team planning the Southern Bloggers Conference in October and Annie Omar, founder of Maison Blanche paint company is going to be a presenter/speaker! I’ll be sharing your post over on the SBC facebook page.

So I have been researching this paint since reading your post and most say it is the same price as AS–a little cheaper some say. Will you be selling samples? Most are saying there isn’t a difference between this one and AS–what is your opinion? I have never tried real chalk paint and would love to be able to start with a sample. I just love this pink color. looks like they have a lot of pretty colors.
Shabby chic Sandy says
Where have I been? I have never heard of this paint. I love that color! Like everybody else I would like to know the price and stuff. Love it!
Did you see my post of the painted cans? I copied you and linked you 🙂

Jessica @ Stay at Home-ista says
Debutante is the best name for a paint I’e ever heard! It perfectly describes that color, soft pink, not too hard, just subtle and sophisticated:)
