Compass Rose, Two Ways

I mentioned in my post the other day that I have been working on two round tables.  Here they are ... the tops of them, that is.



I have had an itch to paint a compass rose on something.  These tables were out in my stash in the garage.  The table on the right spoke to me, but so did the one on the left ... so I did them both!  Each is a tribute to some of my favorite Annie Sloan colors that we don't see out there very frequently.

The left table is Old Violet, Country Grey, Scandinavian Pink, and Chateau Grey.

The one on the right is a custom mix of Coco and Olive, with Country Grey, Old Violet, and Chateau Grey.

Come back tomorrow and Friday to get all the details and learn how to paint your own compass rose ... it's SO easy!

  1. I have a terrible time with straight lines... even with tape. I doubt I would have the patience to tackle something that has so many.

  2. LOVE MARINERS COMPASS! Want to talk about a challenge, try piecing these for quilting, not so easy. I have done it. It's my very favorite. I cannot wait to see these tables. Happy painting Connie!

  5. Most importantly, your STASH in the garage.

    Yes, same drugs in mine !

    Ok, which is the best climbing yellow rose for me in Atlanta? I want zero care.

    Will be putting 2 in a very rare vintage hedgerow between me & my friend's house.

    Where to buy?

    Nothing is easy anymore. Not many places to buy. XO T
