The chairs didn't come with the table. But I thought they were a good match, with similar legs. They were pretty grungy too.......
When I went to purchase my paint, I didn't have a specific project in mind yet. I decided to pick up a couple of colors I'd heard mentioned frequently. So I chose "Duck Egg Blue" and "Old White". I also picked up a clear wax and a dark wax. I used both colors and waxes on the table and chairs. Here they are now looking "fab". Well, I think so anyway. You tell me what you think.
It felt good to complete a furniture project. Since I've been traveling so much since October, I haven't been able to work on my projects. I can't wait to try some more with ASCP! Just as I've read many times, the dark wax was a bit of a challenge. It might be too heavy handed for some tastes, but I'm hoping there will be someone out there that likes it enough to purchase it at the store.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be on the look out for my next project, when I reveal a makeover for the gossip bench I showed here when I first found it.
Blessings!

Love the colors and glad you like the paint. If you will use the clear wax first or mix them then you can control the dark wax and take some back off if it is too much. I am sure it will sell quickly.
looks GREAT!!! Lovely table.
I am very impressed. This is such a cute set now.
