These babies (yes, we have two) are super solid and great for a nightstand or side table! We used Jolie Paints in Graphite — I’m honestly a little partial to it over Noir because I prefer the softer black look and finished with two coats of Jolie Clear Wax.
This table has loads of interesting scrollwork around the top. A couple coats of jolie in legacy and some clear wax really make the piece shine!
Every once in a while, we pick up some pieces that have already been painted. Sometimes this goes well, sometimes not so much! I think it turned out pretty great this time. Two coats of Jolie in Linen over the old green paint and a knob update bring this piece up to date!
Two coats of Jolie in Linen and a coat of clear finishing wax complete the redo on this old plant stand!
What could your little one dream up at this desk?
Let’s create a list of all the places in a home this beautiful piece could go:
Office for storage Statement entry piece Dining Room server/storage Family Room for TV Kitchen for server/storage Bedroom extra storage
Wow! How would you use this reimagined buffet?
I love it when we get two matching pieces in that can be used for bedside tables! We decided to go pure white with some distressing on these french provincial beauts. ANd, we painted the hardware — this is usually a call I make on a case by case basis. Sometimes we will update the french style pulls with a more modern metallic finish but I thought it would be too much of a contrast with the pure white. What do you think? That yellowed finish with gold accents certainly reminds me of my own bedroom furniture from my childhood. I like the update!
This sweet drum table got loaded with a lovely teacher from Crossville, TN! She’s a beaut and the teacher was lovely also!
We have one of these in our guest room and it is great for people to put their suitcase on while visiting. No need to unpack! We gave this peice an update using Jolie paints in Linen, a taupe-gray color and one of my favorite neutrals! The original fabric is still in tact, mainly because it has a cool greek key pattern and it is hard to get fabric back on these puppies!!
If you’ve been in the store, you know we are infamous for having tables of all shapes and sizes! Well, there are two of these cuties – I love the size! They are a perfect occasional table to tuck in here and there. Painted in Jolie Noir, our true black, they are sure to fit any space and make it beautiful.
Sometimes I do the “split screen” on these before and after and some of the after gets a little lost in translation. On this piece though, the after really shines through mainly because the before was so bad! It’s oak and was fairly well worn by the time it made it’s way to us. Two coats of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Trophy followed by clear furniture wax completes the transformation. People will occasionally ask why I choose to use a tinted wax. In this case, I did not want to draw attention to the oak grain of the piece and antiquing or white wax can accentuate the older look as it gets down in the grain of the wood.
This cabinet is an exceptionally beautiful piece. The hardware alone is unlike anything I’ve seen (and I see alot of furniture!). We gave it a coat on Jolie Paints in the color graphite, an almost-black which reads dark-dark gray. We painted the lattice and put it back in so as not to lose any of this piece’s fanciful charm!6
This piece reminded me a little of “Say No to This” from Hamilton. Someone was certainly “mistreatin” this poor table! Water stains and questionable dust? Ugh! So, after a good cleaning, we started to transform using Jolie Paints in Legacy, my absolute favorite color! Two coats of paint and wax. Then, we replaced the knobs with some hexagon beauts from the hardware bin. I try not to name the furniture because it’s a little weird but I guess we will have to call her Mariah Reynolds.
I’m noticing a trend with our recently finished pieces – keeping the hardware! When it is this gorgeous, why not? We decided to go with Jolie Paints in Classic Navy on this piece which we are calling a vanity. Could be a vanity? But also a desk, serving or entry table and so much more. Two coats of Jolie Classic Navy and Clear Wax finish it off.
I honestly can’t get over the hardware. Original. traditional and wonderful. We knew we wanted to keep the hardware and searched for a (not white) color to coordinate. We settled on Jolie Paints in Bliss, a happy little aqua that, I think, takes this piece from meh to wowza!
Two coats of Bliss and some Jolie Clear Wax, that’s all it took! What are you painting today?
It is certainly what we have become known for over the years. Give us all the sweet side tables — whether they be rustic or dainty, oval or rectagular — we love them all! Here’s a great example of what I think our store is all about: cute table, great color, fantastic price. It’s just what we do…
I’m ecstatic about how this piece turned out. The lines were there, the little medallion details and fun shape too. But that fabric, ugh! Problem solved with Jolie Paints in French Gray. We thinned the water by pouring the paint in a separate container and squirting water from our handy water bottle and then we mixed with a stir stick. We did 4 thin coats, allowing to dry overnight, on the fabric and two coats of paint with NO WATER on the wood details. Two coats of Jolie Clear Wax finish the piece.
Information from Jolie about painting fabric:
Jolie Paint can be used on some fabrics; however, NATURAL FABRICS and LEATHERS work best. Add up to 40% water to the paint in a separate mixing container and apply the paint in thin layers, allowing it to dry completely (preferably overnight) between coats. Sand the paint between coats to prevent it from forming a crust, which may crack when weight is applied to it. This technique is best executed on upholstery where the fabric is pulled taut. On furniture with a lot of give, you may notice cracks over time. Jolie Finishing Wax can be used to seal and protect the painted fabric.
We have been pulling lots of tables out recently and this one is a favorite for sure. Jolie in Gesso White is a great neutral and a perfect white in a sea of many shades of white. We topped this one off with a little blue and white ceramic knob which accented the piece quite nicely. It coordinates with our blue and white look and would fit any traditional guest room or living area.
