As I was spring cleaning our family room today it hit me that I painted this side table about 15 years ago. I haven't retouched it once. My mom gave this table to me when she was done with it. She had picked it up at a tag sale and painted it herself about 20 years ago!!
(she was painting pieces long ago...she'd paint you if you stood in front of her long enough...lol..)
When I inherited it from her, I painted over her forest green & yellow sponge paint with white. I decided to give it an aged look by using a dark stain...
I rubbed it on and rubbed it off.
I rubbed it on and rubbed it off.
(and although I LOVE and often use the chalk paints,
I continue to use this technique today)

I still love this piece!
And now it's sooo in!
Just goes to show you that
neutrals and whites last forever & maybe painted furniture will continue to be popular for some time.
Take a peek...
