FFM – What a Find!!!

by

I haven’t been out and about hunting lately because I’ve been super busy with custom work.  So it was a treat to have the morning off last week and go thrifting with my mother.  We had so much fun and I found a few amazing treasures that really made my day!

This little table was one of my scores – it was $9.99 – what a find!!!  It’s sturdy and full of detail, in particular a scalloped top and lovely feet.  And it will look spectacular when painted.  A true vintage gem!Vintage Table, thrift store findVintage Table Vintage Table carved detail Vintage Table detail Vintage Table thrift store findIt’s going to be fun to work on!

In other news, the Creamy Cabinet (Dreamy in White – Cottage Cabinet Before and After) has found a new home in Ohio.  I was sorry to see it go (it looked great in my living room!) but honestly I’m really happy for its new owner 🙂

  2. The cabinet is beautiful and glad it’s gone to good home 🙂 As regards the table – what a beautiful find for less than $10 – can’t wait to see what you do to it 🙂

  6. Hi Suzanne

    Love the colour combo on the China Cabinet. Can you tell me if you actually mixed the ASCP Old White and The General Finishes Antique White together before painting (what ratio) or painted the piece and combined them during the process?

    Looks really nice. I have a similar piece that was my grandmothers that would look great done like this. So I would appreciate the help.

    Thanks

    • Hi, I actually remember that I mixed the paint. It was likely about half to half ratio. I do this a lot – it creates a great finish. I also sometimes will do the milk paint first and then chalk paint on top (if I want to layer or distress it). Best of luck on your piece!
