Anchors Away!!!

Primitive Anchor End Tables

$200 - SOLD!

     These two tables were hand made (God knows how long ago). I took them apart and rebuilt them to stabilize them a little better.

     First, I spray painted them black and then I mixed my paint (a Swedish blue/gray) to dry brush over the dark black. This creates the "Ghost Finish" as I like to call it. After they dried, I applied a large anchor graphic using the "Ghetto Inking Method" as discussed in a previous post. Finished with a clear wood poly spray, the graphic should hold up just fine.

     The beauty of shabby chic painted furniture is that each nick and each scratch will just end up adding character. If anything, start with shabby chic furniture before you fill your house with fine antiques, that way you'll know what NOT to do when it comes to taking care of your furniture!
