I have been experimenting with different looks and techniques as I have been getting ready for the vintage market.
I don’t like doing the same thing on every piece.
Each one is different and unique.
I just do what strikes my fancy.
I decided to do a French grain sack table.
This technique is nothing new I have seen it before but never tried it myself.
I painted the table with Annie Sloan French linen.
A stripe was added using TAPE and deco art paint in uniform blue.
No ruler was used to make sure the tape was straight I just eyeballed it
I did not want it to look perfect.
I added a French graphic from the graphic fairy using the citra solv technique.
Before waxing it I sprayed a clear sealer to prevent the graphic from smearing off.
Okay this is one of those pieces I hate to part with.
But I must this will be going to the vintage market.
I have to give a shout out to Bre at Rooms for rent for sharing my feature from Blogger Homes !
Thank you so much!

Very pretty, Anne! Love the stripe and the graphic. I am way to shaky to freehand, so when I do stripes I have to tape them off.
Thank you Kathy! Oh yes me too!

This is the first time you’ve tried a transfer technique? Well it definitely looks professional to me. You did a fantastic job on that sweet table! I hope you take lots of pictures of your treasures after you set up your display, because they won’t last long!!

What a cute table! I really like how that looks. It’s truly one of a kind. I bet someone will take that home with them after seeing it at the market.
Thank you so much Kelly!
Hello Anne,
This is a very charming little table..I’m sure she will find a new home at the show.

Thank you Kelly!
Fabulous Looking table Anne! I love it!

I can see why it will be so hard to part with it, but someone will love it just as much as you do. Love the graphic and the stripe!!
Thank you Betsy!
Looks good, Anne. Your booth is going to look sooooooo pretty. Wish I could come.
Thank you Rosemary!
Hi Anne
This is another winner! My goodness your talent has no end I know you will do so good at the market. Everything so far is so pretty and unique. I wish I were going to this fabulous show. Sorry that junk bonanza is the same week end :(. Take lots of pictures to post.
Kris
Thank you so much Kris!
Another lovely piece Anne. Imagine if we kept eveything we’ve ever made… that would be a lot of crafting and probably shock us with how much money we’ve spent on craft supplies over the years – lol.
I know so true! The good thing about resale is that I can keep a piece and let go of another until I find something else I want and so on and so on LOL!
Wow – it looks fabulous and I am totally amazed that you drew those lines freehand!
Liz @ Shortbread & Ginger
Thank you Liz! No I did not draw those lines free hand I used tape but did not use anything to see how straight I was.
Anne, your little table turned out beautiful! You did an awesome job with transferring the graphic using the Cita Solv technique. I have never had much luck with technique. Hugs, Gail
Thank you Gail! It is a bit tricky!
That is so sweet! I love the graphic you chose…. I even have a pillow on my couch with the same one. It would be so fun to go to your show… they never seem to have things like that around here.
Thank you Cynthia!
Anne,

Cynthia

Anne
I have been painting some of my colored pieces white, but I don’t want to keep doing plain white. I love your idea and I might just do a take off on it on an antique record cabinet. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Carol!
Anne
What a pretty piece! I love the paint colors you used. ~Kristie
Thank you Kristie!
Love it Anne…you are so creative!
Thank you so much Sandi!
I love your table! You did a wonderful job on it. I bet it’s so hard to part with pieces like that.
Thank you Amy! Yes it is hard to sell things that you love.But I can’t keep it all.
Anne, Your table is so cute. I’m sure it will find a good home.
Mary Alice

A grand idea. Love this look and the table would be perfect sitting by a chair covered in feed sacks.
Thank you Terry! Yes I agree!
