Beach Inspired Stipes

Seaside Park 2nd Avenue
Have you ever walked on the beach and looked at the shadows of the fencing on the sand?

I was inspired to paint this piece that I found at a thrift shop in Washington Township (Warren County) New Jersey.  

It was a very simple piece with clean lines in a rough mahogany color.  

I used Annie Sloan Old White and Coco for the stripes along with French Grey  ...topped with a clear wax for an added protection.  The Table measures 30" h  24x24 w.  Selling Price $75.00

Adding new life to furniture with a coat of Annie Sloan's Paint

I was commissioned by a lovely client that so wanted to keep her childhood furniture alive and well.  The furniture it self was in great condition, it just needed some updating,    It was a stressful situation for my client as she wanted to make sure it was going to be the perfect color.  

She decided on Annie Sloan's Paloma as the base with an Annie Sloan's Old Violet Wash, finished with a clear wax for durability.  Today is delivery day and I am so very excited for my client and her husband.
