I didn't really care for the stain. It had a little too much of a red tone. Once at home, I knew I was finally going to give the Annie Sloan's Chateau Gray another try. I had used it previously on a small project and didn't really care for it but decided to try it out on something larger. Two coats, some distressing, and wax...
How did it turn out? I used both clear and dark wax. I think the key for me using the wax is to use a rag. I know everyone says it wastes wax but I have gotten better results this way.

great color! it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe color is perfect for your sewing table :) We had one gifted to us not too long ago that we use as a side table as well....only ours (sadly) has not been transformed yet. Thanks for the inspiration my dear!
ReplyDeleteLucky find I have been on the prowl for one myself.Love the color you chose.
ReplyDeleteLove how it turned out, you did a fantabulous job!!! I agree, using a rag was key for me too and works so much better! Congrats.

Make overs are always trial and error. Sometimes I like my results - and other times not as much. But I think this turned out very nice!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I like the color. The dark wax adds a wonderful dimension. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love this grey on this sewing table! I am working on a cabinet and not sure I am loving the grey trend yet. However, I love how yours turned out! Great job!
