French Grain Sack Table

March 12, 2013

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.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
