I Changed My Mind

When I went to my booth yesterday to rotate and fluff the inventory, I had planned to bring the red settee home with me.  On my way there, I realized that the settee is BIG, and I don't really have a place to store it till I'm ready to start slip-covering it, so I left it there and I brought the little cream and turquoise table home instead ... the one that was between the two green velvet chairs.  (you can see a photo of it in yesterday's post)  I will keep it at home for a while, and put other things in its place. 

This time, I put this lovely thing into the booth ... I finished it the other day, and I'm eager to show it to you.

It's a Henredon side table with a very sophisticated touch of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint love.  (I totally forgot to take any Before photos of this piece.)  The bottom of the table is painted in my new favorite color, Primer Red.  It's lightly distressed, just enough to add character, and finished with amber and dark wax.  I left the top alone, simply freshened it with a bit of dark wax.

These old pieces are made really, really well ... it's just the style that could use some help.  I love how it looks in this color!! 

Here it is in the booth.  Hopefully, it won't be there for long.

It's a relaxed morning here at the Manor. 

Alice and Dorothy and Daniel and I wish everyone a very Happy Sunday!
