CeCe and the Three Little Tables
UPDATED!!
UPDATED!!
Now
the the Smokey Mountain tables. I found these tables at different sales
over a period of time and when I put them together last week they
seemed like they were related. So they all got to be smokey blue.
Aren't they cute? Just look at those faces ......
I
used a cabinet scraper to distress the edges since sandpaper wasn't
working well for me. I love my cabinet scrapers anyway. They are quick
and fun to use.
You
can see the brush strokes here. I tried using a foam roller but got
little bumps all over. Maybe I should have thinned the paint a little
but after the coverage challenge I had with Vintage White I was
hesitant.
UPDATED: I sanded down the brush strokes on all three tables and repainted with Smokey Mountain that was thinned with a lot of water. The result is perfection! An absolutely smooth surface. So, despite seeming to be really thin, the paint needs to be thinned for best results.

I
have a couple more small tables and a footstool that I'm going to paint
with the CeCe Caldwell paint. Now that I know what to expect, I'm
interested to see if the results are different. For example, I'll use
primer under the white paint next time. And maybe thin the Smokey
Mountain a little bit.
Anyone else tried this paint?

I love your tables, and they do look as if they belong together. Painting furniture with that distressed look is always a little tricky, but yours look great. It's always fun to experiment though... I'll be anxious to see what you do next.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great color. I love the contrast of the stained tops with the paint. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this paint before. I'm a huge ASCP fan but I'm always willing to try something else so I can make an informed and educated decision. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Your pieces look great.

Oh my perfection! What beautiful tables. I have to admit, I love my scraper as well....it is a bit more fun than sandpaper & sooo much quicker.
