Bold.Green.Table

Let me start off this post by saying, holy HOT!  I'm glad I'm inside taking photos today and not outside painting - it's 95 degrees and humid, certainly not ideal painting temps!

I just wrapped up a fun custom project. A client of mine recently dropped off a pine side table. It was one of those 'build it yourself' kits.  It was gifted to her by a family member - and with the right paint, she thought it could make the perfect entryway table for her new home.

She requested Annie Sloan's Antibes Green paint.  Such a bold statement color!  We decided to pair it with some old white accents and generous amounts of distressing & dark wax.  The combination gave it the aged look we were going for.  And I love the new hardware she found from Anthropology!









Here are a few photos I initially staged outside.





This little table is going up against a navy blue wall in her entryway - talk about a BIG statement - such a fun way to greet your visitors!

  3. I hopped over from MMS today.

    I do love the Antibies (and cream and green color combo) because I too, LOVE bold colors. Your paint job AND staging are wonderful well.

    I just painted a vintage dressing table in ASCP Emperor's Silk (red) and a sage green. It's pretty bold too! Hope you have a minute to get on my blog and maybe check it out.
