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.

  10. 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.

  13. 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.

  23. 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.

  26. 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.
