Soooo remember that fabulous frenchy table that I had a bargain deal of the deal sale on??? I held onto it forever and just never got around to refreshing it myself. Well look at this amazing Before & After by Christen Bensten.

Beautiful! Check this out at www.blueeggbrownnest.com
I asked her a couple questions so you folks that have a table and chair set at home and are thinking of refreshing them have some inspiration.

What did you paint with? First coat is Annie Sloan {AS} Old White, second coat is Paris Grey.
What type of finish did you use? Annie Sloan clear wax & then a coat of her dark wax. Brushed over it with a soft steel wool to remove some of the dark spots. I wanted to maintain that beautiful light blue/Frenchy color.
How many coats of paint did you do? 1 coat of each color.
How long did the project take you? The chairs took a LONG time because they were ladderback. Maybe a week total for chairs and 4 days for table start to finish. Then the upholstry took a few days to strip off the chairs and staple.

The shoe cables a repent reward near the visible.
You are tempting me to get this set selling for $50 at a second-hand store in town. Beautiful work!
