The “Mighty Oak” finish has seemed to take a back seat in the land of home decor…
I can remember…waaay back when….
…..when Oak was King.
Oak furniture, oak kitchen cabinetry….
So what do I do to some oak pieces that I still love?
You Sloan it!!…You get out that can of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint….
…..and you inject it with the botox of furniture.
Not quite the entire “facelift”…no surgery required!
So here we go…I applied ASCP Country Grey….
Hubby set up the trusty ole Work Mate Bench as it was hot as heck in the garage!
After applying the paint to the bottom portion of the table…
…..I decided to leave the top as it was.
The table wanting to keep part of its originality…like no “brow lift” required…..
Cute huh?…now it’s just waiting for a “pedicure”….
…..for a bit of sanding and buffing and a leg massage of ASCP clear wax…
And when you get a day at the spa…you need a new outfit, or a piece of jewelry….
So I took out this hurricane that I got years ago from a Southern Living Home Party…
…..and gave it a facelift too…
Oh…so much better..don’t you think?….
So here “The Mighty Oak” back home, after a great day at the spa….
…..looking and feeling so refreshed and younger.
I filled the hurricane with mini bird nests…
Oops..forgot to run the lamp cord under the table….
I love the new look and so does hubby….
…..and that is great, as you know how men are…the ones who admire Paul Bunyan…
……….and the look of anything “wood”…
So, hope you liked my little project…
CHECK !!…One down…. and lots of furniture sitting in the waiting room…
…..anxiously waiting for their turn at the spa!
