Annie Sloan Gypsy Table

Feeling Like a Gypsy
My fat frenchy table got painted with
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in four colors~
 Duck Egg, Antoinette, Country Grey, and Old White
I did a lot of distressing and used clear wax,
 as well as some dark wax (added sparingly)
to get this look.  Always remember,
 things may look worse before they look better~
when you are creating a unique piece like this, don't be afraid, keep painting!
 This table had so many decorative elements to play with~
I understand it may not be for everyone...
but if you have a bohemian side or a little bit of gypsy 
waiting to come out, then this table might inspire you.
I was inspired by this Annie Sloan Antoinette 
and Aubusson painted cabinet by Junk Drawer Diva.
I saw it on Facebook and fell in love~of course 
this cabinet has so many funky elements, 
but I have to give kudos to the Junk Drawer Diva for 
her bravery and imagination! I LOVE it!
 So I tried my own version on a smaller scale. 
 My Gypsy Table in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint~
Duck Egg and Antoinette with 
Country Grey and a touch of Old White.
I also added a band of Duck Egg around the coffee table
that was mostly Annie Sloan Country Grey.

I love your table Amy. You really gave it that bohemian, gypsy look. Which, by the way, I think you have a lot of that in your personality. Love it.

I really love how it turned out! That's such a pretty paint combination. It reminds me of the one my sister put on the hutch in her master bathroom.

That looks really pretty, I give you a lot of credit for going for it, I would have been so scared, but the end result is so pretty.

I think it looks great, Amy! I think having a piece like this adds a bit of whimsy to a room, too. And why not have fun with it? It's just paint, right? That is a great cabinet, too.

And there she goes again!!!!! Amy I think you either need to get busy and write a book on all these projects or start your own show on HGTV called "Amazing Amy's daily project"......what do you think!

Amy @MaisonDecor said...

I love the idea~if I can do it in my PJs, then I am in!!

Cindy said...

Amy..I absolutely love your table in those colors. You have convinced me that I have to get some of that chalk paint. Everything you've painted I have just loved. Gorgeous!
Thankyou for posting a comment on my blog. It meant alot as I so admire you and your blog.
Also I am so embarrassed! I gave you the wrong Bella for the candy box. Here is the correct one. http://bellasrosecottage.blogspot.com/2011/02/valentines-day-candy-box.html This should take you right there.

Looks great Amy,
I am waiting for my local store to get the Antoinette in. It should be in 2 weeks. Can't wait to paint something with it.

Hey Amy,

Your side table is gorgeous!!!! I have been a longtime fan of Kathy Ayers for a while now. She is creating some of the most beautiful 'Gypsy' pieces.

I love that style and you did a wonderful job of capturing a soft bohemian look.
