POWW 113: A Furniture Link Party

November 6, 2012 by Cassie 32 Comments

PinterestFacebookTwitter

Happy POWW!  Do you know what I did last week?  I painted two tables that I completely forgot to photograph!  And I already brought them to the barn… OOPS!  I will have to snap some pictures next time I am there.  Well, guess I won’t be sharing those pieces today….

Instead I will share with you a cute little buffet I bought when I went yard saling with my friend Rebecca a few weeks ago.

 It was a cute little piece in decent shape aside from some veneer chips.  I wanted to try out a new color of Cece Caldwell’s on it that I had just gotten from my favorite Cece dealers, Alaska Tundra gree, a very pretty cool sort of wintergreen color.  With this paint, there is no sanding or priming involved, so I got right to work.  I removed the hardware and the painted, knowing I wanted to preserve the original ribbon shaped pull.  I gave this piece two coats of paint, distressed with a wet rag, and then waxed it with clear wax.  Once that was done I highlighted some of the details with gilding wax in king gold, just to give it a little something special.  I just love this gilding wax!  It’s the perfect touch of glam!
Here is the buffet after it’s makeover.  I love how the gold catches the light!

    ooo! Gilding wax! I am going to have to try it. Is it a hardware store thing or a craft store thing?

    Those gold highlights are the perfect detail – it gives the classic a a little pizazz!

    Your soft green and gold buffet is so pretty. Those are the colors I’ve been using in my bedroom as I transform some old furniture pieces to work better with our vibrant wallpaper! This is very inspirational, especially to see how you’ve distressed and aged it so nicely. Well done! Thank you for hosting the party today, Cassie.
