Barcelona Orange Corner Table {with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint}

in Furniture on

I’ve always wanted to try out the bold new color of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Barcelona Orange.

As many of you folks know, I’m a color freak. I’m not afraid to use bright and bold pops of color throughout my home. So what better way to transform a plain old corner table (from my lovely aunt) than using my new LOVE, Barcelona Orange.

One of the best bonuses of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is no primer needed! So I got to work and gave my corner table two coats of Barcelona Orange (except for the top of the table which I left as the natural wood). To give it some extra oomph, I lightly distressed the table and used the Annie Sloan wax!

I gave the entire table a coat of clear wax then went back and pressed in some dark wax throughout. HOLY SMOKES. Then is when the table came alive! Wanna see?

Look at that dark wax in the crevices! LOVE.

I can’t wait to get this in my dining room! I’m working on a transformation, including new drapes, some chair covers and painting my piano. It’s a BIG overtaking, but I can’t wait to show you my final vision!

    When I read the title of your post I was afraid for you! But you went bold and that color is FAB on that little piece! I love that you left the top with the original look too!

    I love this table makeover, Erin! I’ve been wanting to use the AS paint but since it’s so pricey I wasn’t sure on what color to use or what to transform. I am loving this orange color and think it would look great in my bedroom? Did you use the sample can or did you buy the quart and how much did you use? Supposedly I heard the paint goes a long way. Great work! Jenna

    I’ve never heard of chalk paint and the dark wax that you used. You’re table is amazing! Where can I find the paint and directions on how to use it? Thanks, Pam

    Love, love love the orange! I’m a big fan of orange too but have not found a great way to incorporate it into my decor. But since I recently painted my craft room a pale yellow, perhaps that is where I’ll put the pop of orange. Thanks for the inspiration! BTW, I pinned it to one of my boards!

    I won Barcelona Orange in one of the national giveaways and I am so excited to use it. My craft/guest room is Palladian Blue with orange accents and I am going to paint my old nightstand this. I just may have to take a break from the grueling house projects and do something fun, like paint with my chalk paint! Looks great

    I love it! I would have been so scared to use that color but you pulled it off beautifully. I’d gladly have that in my home! This project would be perfect for our linky party featuring “Transformations” called Repurpose-Remodel-Reveal, I know our readers would love to see it too! (It starts tomorrow- Friday, March 16th 2012 at 7:00 am and reoccures every 1st and 3rd Friday)

    That is spectacular Erin. I love that color as well and have had it sitting on my shelf for a couple of months now – just waiting for the right piece. I love your transformation and can’t wait to see your dining room! Great job!
