Graphite and Napoleonic Blue Coffee Table


Like most of my pieces of furniture, I picked up this coffee table at a yard sale.  I love the simple, primitive style of this table and the two drawers.


The finish was not bad before, but it was scratched all over.


I decided on Graphite Chalk Paint for the top and I wanted a slate blue color for the base. 


 I thought that Aubbusson mixed with Old White could work, but when I went to mix the paint I realized we were out of Abbusson.  I went with Napoleonic Blue with a Paris Gray wash and it came out close to what I was visualizing.
