Mes Amis-Vintage and Antique Show


This past weekend was Mes Amis-Antique and Vintage Show in Roseville, CA.  My wonderful friend Heather and I had a booth at the show and we had a great time.  This year the show was moved inside and the booths were much smaller, so we had a LOT of stuff!  Here is how it looked.












Betsy from My Salvaged Treasures!
I also met Courtney from French Country Cottage ( forgot to take a picture! )

French Provincial Side Table


As I was getting ready for the show I really started to look for some little side tables and I found this great French Provincial side table at the Flea Market. 
Before:
The table has a great shape, but needed some work and hardware.  After a good cleaning, I painted it in Garlic Clove by Benjamin Moore paint that I made in to chalk paint.  I painted the inside in grey and then distressed it.  The last step was to seal it with clear wax and put on hardware. 













I love the shape and this sold at the show, so I didn't have to bring it home!

Large Grey Mirror


As I was on a search for treasures I found this very large heavy gold mirror leaning in a corner at a local thrift store.  I loved the shape, but was not crazy about the color.  It looks worse in person then this picture.
Before:

I mixed up a batch of grey home-made chalk paint and painted the entire mirror.  I then painted a gain with a lighter grey and then dry brushed white on the mirror.  I distressed a little and then fell in love with the new mirror.
