I have a passion for furniture built before the days of mass production, pieces created by the true craftsmen of years gone by. I especially fall for dressers with fabulous curves, great legs and amazing details. I found a two such dressers recently and ended up paying well over what I...
My post today is short and sweet. I painted this primitive table in CeCe Caldwell's all natural Georgia Clay and sealed it with dark wax. I stripped and refinished the top to clean it up yet chose to leave the dings and marks that tell the story and create the character of...
I've had this table for a while and couldn't decide which color to paint it. I was leaning toward yellow, but something told me to start with brown. When I created this finish, I was using CeCe Caldwell's products which we no longer use or carry. To create this same...
