French Dinner getting closer!

Things are going great in the dining room makeover! I'm still at it, revamping several things with paint and quite enjoying it because the results are pleasing. DH is concerned ~ he dislikes change ~ he's worried I will want to change to Bohemian or Baroque in a few years!! No way, this is the look I've been dreaming about ~ French Country, simplified.

This was the sideboard, green with painted flowers on the door panels. Pretty, but getting a bit boring, and in no way did it fit in with the new colorway. So far it's received a coat of Gravity ~ a very pale grey, and since I took this pic below I've sanded all the edges so the original distressed dark paint shows through. Because one coat seems to be the look I wanted, soft and powdery, a little rough and imperfect, I'm not doing a second coat. However, I am doing something on the top! I've now painted it with the dark, almost black, Graphite grey used on the entryway walls (which are visible from the dining room), and am going to do a crackle finish followed by waxing which will hopefully make this piece look older. I may also lightly wax around the door panels to give some depth.Next time I'll share with you what I found on sale and now have sitting in my dining room ~ something I've wanted for a long time!
