I found this little gem in the garage at an estate sale hiding under all the other things for sale. I loved the enamel top, even with it's scratches and dings (you know, "perfect imperfections"). I thought this would make a great desk in a kitchen. It could be a cute island if someone set it up on a platform. It's 30" tall, so I think it would need a little more height to serve as an island.
I tried a new technique to get a "chippy" paint look, using Vaseline between layers. I just put the Vaseline in spots that I wanted to show through like paint chipping. I did that with each layer of color, trying to get a look of years of repainting. I thought it came out pretty nice. Anyway, here's the before and after:
 |
| Someone had already repainted this, but I think it needed some sprucing up. |
 |
| And here she is! |
 |
| Here are some details of the "chippy" paint. What do you think? |
 |
I think she looks much cheerier now!
Thanks for stopping by. Please come again! |
