Stripes

This was a pine wood table I bought years ago. It has been painted many times. The black was just not too exciting to me anymore after using all this colorful Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

So I gave it a coat of Duck Egg Blue. Then decided I wanted to add stripes in Old White. I used 2 inch painter's tape and taped off the entire top. Then pulled off every other strip. 
 

Then painted over the bare spots. Voila!! Stripes! I added the decorative wood embellishment I had bought years ago.

I then gave it a coat of clear wax then began carefully 
adding the dark wax. 

I just love it now!
 

While I was painting I painted this small jewelry box I had bought in Pensacola.
 

It was perfect under the china plates that were Bob's mother's china. I cut the "M" from some gold paper.
 
 

This was really a fun and easy project! I will be painting more stripes soon!!
