This week I decided to try and concentrate on the master bedroom projects I wanted to finish up. I did the panels for the bed crown and the demilune accent table was next on the list.
I decided to do a combination of my homemade white chalk paint and the ASCP Duck Egg. I knew I wanted to do this combo, but wasn’t sure how I was going to go about it. Until I saw a desk done by Laura at Whimsical Perspectives, where she did ASCP Old White and French Linen {my current favorite}.
It was a tedious painting project trying not to get white on the Duck Egg and vice versa. Here it is before waxing.
Then I applied clear and dark waxes, until I got it the way I wanted it to look.
I think it works with the dresser and mirrors very well.
Here’s a side-by-side before and after.
Here’s a little tip {that’s been around for a long time} ~ to hide lamp cords behind a table, tape the cord to one of the legs. I just used painter’s tape here, but duct tape or electrical tape would work just as well.

Kathy- THAT table looks great. I love the color combo...and I use that tape trick, too. It works great, doesn't it? xo Diana
Kathy what a fabulous space you are creating!!! Love it lady. Hope you are having a great holiday weekend.
It looks fantastic! Love the colors you choose for that little table. Everything is really coming together. What a beautiful room!
The table is splendid. Can you imagine imagine what a high end store would sell it for? You are brilliant.
Oh it looks fabulous. I love the two colors. Beautiful room. Hugs, Marty
Great makeover, and I love, love, love that mirror over it. Everything works beautifully together.
Looks gorgeous! Everything matches perfectly. Yup, do the tape trick too - especially works well for keeping all my computer wires out of the way. ;)

This looks AWESOME, Kathy- that room's transformation is amazing, honestly!
WELL DONE!!!!
Your table looks just beautiful! And I'm glad you passed along the tip about the cords. I've done that before, many years ago, but I'd forgotten about it. So simple and effective--just the kind of tip I need these days!
Very nice, Kathy!! Red Door doesn't carry French Linen. I'll have to ask him.

Beautiful piece and a beautiful room!!!
It looks fabulous. Love the color combo. I use the same trick to hide wires. The room looks great. I adore the crown over the bed.
I think this is the prettiest piece I've seen you do, Kathy..
Love it and its perfect.. those colors are amazing~!
Oh Kathy, that table turned out beautiful! I love the colors!! Your bedroom is gorgeous with everything you have done.
It's soooooo pretty! I love how you used those two colors together. It's so french looking now. I caught a glimpse of your bed canopy in the mirror. Love it too!! Thanks for sharing the tip about the lamp cord. Hate looking at those darn cords! I'll have to try that out.
Just perfect - looks lovely in your pretty room!
The table is awesome....love it...it just ties in so beautifully with the scheme of your room...great job Kathy!
Great table, and love the color.
Thanks for the tip. And the table is perfect! I know what you mean about tedious when you use two colors. But the end result is SO worth it!
Your table turned out great! I love that color combo and it ties in with the rest of the room just perfectly. :)
I love your table! It looks like it would be really hard to paint the two colors in the way that you did. Beautiful as always!
Beautiful Kathy!!

Your blue and white room is really shaping up quickly, Kathy. Your blue and white demi lune turned out really well--you wouldn't think it would be too hard to keep the colors separate... Thanks for the smile this a.m. on the comment you left for me.
Hi Kathy,
The table looks beautiful. I'm sure it was a lot of work but so worth it.
