Little “Nest” Deminlune

August 7, 2013 by Cassie 28 Comments

Happy Wednesday!  Sorry for the crickets yesterday, but Monday, sort of spur of the moment, I bought a can of paint and got to work on a major change in my house…. A change that was not really planned. You will have to come back tomorrow to see what I did, but if you follow me on instagram you already know…. muah ha ha!

Until then you are going to have to deal with another little table makeover from the archives….. I painted this one around this time last year.  It was a great little demilune and I planned to painting in Rockler’s General Finishes Lamp Black milk paint (the only black paint for me!).

Here you can see I had started painting the base and realized I was running low on black paint, o I came up with Plan B.  I painted the base black, and used General Finishes Antique White from Rockler to paint the top.

I distressed it lightly all over once it had two coats of black on the base and three coats of the white on the top.  It needed a little something else.  I thought about stripes on the top, but was not confident that I had enough black paint left.  So I decided to stencil a little detail.  I had recently won a giveaway from Type A Decorating and was able to choose two stencils from Maison De Stencils.  I chose a peacock and a cute little “nest” stencil which I thought was perfect for this table.  I placed it to the right side, and used the black.  Once it dried, I lightly distressed it.  To finish the table, I used General Finishes Satin Finishing wax.   I love using this wax because it goes on clear and so smoothly!  Anyhow, here is the final product after all….

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a big change in my home!  Hopefully I will be able to take pictures of it today….. Any guesses?  Those who are on instagram are not allowed to guess!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Cassie – it turned out super cute. love the detail on the top. It seems like those little mishaps like running out of paint always seem to lead to the best results.

    Oh, I think it’s a good thing that you ran out of black, because the white and black combo is fantastic…and that stencil is adorable. I am looking forward to seeing what you did in your house!

    Love the graphic, and I think it was a happy circumstance that you had to use the white on top! It’s a stand out feature piece now!

    what a sweet table! gotta love the power of paint! ๐Ÿ™‚

    no guesses on the big project, but I’m sure curious. I guess I don’t follow you on instagram because I don’t recall seeing anything. I’m just now getting active on there.
    Kirby told me you said “hi” at Haven. It was such a great weekend, wish you were there.
