Gray Glass Top Table

This table was a hard one to figure out. I bought it because it was cheap and in pretty good shape. But then I couldn't decide what to do with it so it would look pretty! This is why I need a team of color designers to tell me what to do.


After sanding down the gloss I decided to go with a gray to match the etching in the glass top. I used Junkaddict's Dumbo chalk paint. But after painting the whole thing gray I thought it looking kind of plain, so I decided to bring out the details. First I attempted to just outline the details in white, but felt it needed more. So I tried out a technique I saw on Pinterest where you lightly dip the tip of your paintbrush in a color and lightly brush it on the areas you want to stand out a little.



 Do you see the difference? Top has outlined details, bottom is brushed details. Almost looks like it was distressed.










Once the paint was all dried I sealed it with polycrylic and wax.
