Sometimes I see a sample swatch of a color and it doesn’t stand out as a color I’m dying to try. That was Versailles for me.
This color always blends in with the other neutral colors and I didn’t pay much attantion to it. But I wanted a color that had a hint of green in it for a piece I want to paint in my own home. I remembered seeing a piece at All Fixed Up where I have a booth that was painted in Versailles and looked for more examples on Pinterest. I was convinced it was the color I wanted to use and I bought a can of it. I decided to pull it out this week and try it out in a small table I bought and wanted to refinish to put in my booth. This cute little table is darling but needed some work.
There was some clear water damage to the top so I started by removing some of the top layer veneer. But the damage was deeper so I had to take it down to the wood slats.
After I pulled off as much as I could I sanded it smooth and filled in the gaps with wood putty. Ready for paint! I lightly distressed and put a clear coat of wax and the table was transformed.
Loving this color. The subtle green is perfect and I’m excited to paint the piece in my home that I bought this paint color for! I’m also inspired to try a few other colors I haven’t tried yet. I love the color options Annie Sloan has put together. And Versailles has moved up on my list of favorite colors!
Thanks so much for taking a minute to read my blog. Let me know what you think of Annie Sloan Versailles!!
