French Linen Sideboard

You never know where you may find a piece of furniture.  I'm often asked where do you find these pieces of furniture at such great deals?  Well I can honestly say, I do believe the Lord has blessed me with this gift.  I have always been able to find a deal, but I will tell you this...waiting...shopping...waiting...patience.  I go alot a of places, and buy nothing.

The first time I came a cross this little cottage shop that has become one of my favorites, and I intend to keep it a secret, they had just reduced this sideboard.  End of the story she was coming home with me...

I wanted to do a paint color that would be neutral and work in most any decor.  I chose to go with French Linen (ASCP). It is a beautiful color gray with some taupe, and a very popular color in design for furniture right now.  I decided to paint the handles, I didn't like the patina with the gray paint.

I did lightly distress, and did a clear wax finish.  This piece is SOLD and in its new home.  I will be painting a dining table in French Linen coming up. I love this color!

This is piece they will have in their home for years to come!
