Buffet in Basil w/ a Textured Linen Dry Brush

I usually start decorating for Christmas once Thanksgiving is over. 

This year is different. I want to decorate...TODAY.

Since I still have two weeks, I will use my decorations for staging this gorgeous buffet I painted. 

Here is a quick before and after with many, many pictures to follow. 

If you made it through all of those pictures, you're a trooper! 

Now for all the details. 

I used basil by General Finishes for the base and I dry brushed a thin coat of linen. 

I loved the dry brush because it showed so much texture on the wood. 

Plus the linen ties in with the white pulls. 

I sprayed the metal circles on each corner with thin coats of oil rubbed bronze, metallic gold and aged copper spray paint to have them blend with the gold on the pulls. 

I found the pulls at Home Goods.

I am so happy with how great this piece turned out! 

Side Table: In Progress

I feel like I have been MIA for a while so I wanted to share a project I have been working on.

I'll save all the talk for when I do the actual post on this table. This table isn't completely finished but I didn't want to wait another day to two to share so here are a few pictures!

BEFORE

IN PROGRESS

I'm thinking about putting small casters on the feet! What do you think?

Stay tuned for a compete post about this table. I have a new (and much better) chalk paint recipe to share plus another table I am working on.
