Next I used blue paint and mixed it with a little grey for the second colour.
When dry I sanded the table back to reveal the white colour underneath.
Most of the furniture I distress and decorate have three different layers of paint, so my last layer was grey, but I painted crackle medium on first and finished with the grey paint on top.
After the paint was dry I sanded the table and used a waterbase varnish to protect the crackled paint. The image used for the center of the table is from the Graphics Fairy website and I used the modpodge method to transfer the image onto the table.
Full instructions how to transfer images onto furniture are on the Graphics Fairy website,you will find a link to the website on my blog.
I hand painted the flowers on the sides of the table.

The table is protected with a satin water base varnish.
I took the table to the Shabby Chic market at Beacon Hill and sold it on the market.
Your stall looked absolutely lovely at the Beacon Hill Estate!
