First antiquing attempt

So I was so thrilled of my purchase at an amazing antique store here in Florida I rushed home to work on it, using this tutorial. French chairs makeover

Here's my purchase which I got for 7 dollars.(score!)

Nice little height for a side table, I'm honestly not sure if it'll be in the living room or our bedroom.

So after a quick sanding,I began with a blue base, I used this very handy valspar color sample which goes a long way.

Then I blew my self I mean blue, and the table..

(Fünke ~.^)

Then we wait for the paint to dry....

After a quick trip to the grocery store because....

I returned, paint was dry and I began with the next coat, a pretty light grey Voyage by valspar. Once again a little goes a long way and I have enough antiquing paint to tackle that pie safe (that won't be happening right away tho)

Ah I get so nervous with every new step, makes me so nauseous, even more so the next sanding step.

I did a little sanding here and there, I was being a sissy, then bham I went a little deep and it was like ooooo, and then I was a sanding mad woman!

In love but there was one more important step to make it look legit, too legit to quit (oh I'm showing my age) 

The glaze the glaze... Let me tell you about this glaze I went to Home Depot and said I need this and this (per directions of above blog) no espresso beans in quart size she said, well behr paint is about 35 a gallon, and I'm being thrifty people! For some off reason they didn't make the glaze available in quart size to have color added to, well I convinced the woman to poor some glaze out of the quart container to make room for the espresso beans color... Wham bham thank you mam...

And for the final out come...

I really don't know what I would do different being I am very happy with the outcome... But I'm currently working on the same technique but with spray paint on shutters I purchased thrifting today, but that's another entry.
