Entry table make-over how to layer paint for an aged look.....

I finally finished the little entry table that my 3 little chickens base-coated for me on spring break.
I love the look of layered paint. It instantly makes a piece look years older with great depth.
The easiest way to make it look like it's been around for years is to layer related paint colors.
This was a dark wood table that I started adding layers of paint to. It can be any paint. I prefer flat, but use what's on hand as long as it's not gloss.

It had been blue with a second coat of green all over the base. I then added a coat of cream.

 Then a good sanding with a low grit sanding sponge, and finally

a coat light brown glaze and polyacrylic.

I love using the wall color with a glaze. It always "goes" but

looks different enough to stand out.

And of course I always love a good antique knob to add to the look.

It makes it picture perfect !! Too corny? :)
