Caromal Colours in Bayberry Part 2

                                Before                                              After

You may remember my earlier post here about choosing a piece of furniture to try out the Caromal Colours on.

I picked the coffee table.  The color is Bayberry and can be purchased here. Patty from Fabulouse Finishes
was kind enough to supply a coupon code "PattyH" for you to use on your Caromal Colours purchase.  (Thanks Patty) Head over to her blog to see more projects.


Before it became a coffee table, it existed as a dining table.  I purchased at a yard sale.  It is solid oak that I originally painted white.  

You can see where I Hubby gave the legs a little trim.  Yes, this was another one of my brilliant ideas that I involved him in.  Eye roll here.


This paint required no stripping, sanding or any prep work.  This was the attraction for me.

Directions say to "Mush" the paint on.  You can see how thick this stuff is, it is like painting with toothpaste.  My best method was glob it on and mash it around with the paint brush.  It will not look smooth or shiny, it even looks like you painted with toothpaste.  It has the dried up look about it at this stage, but continue on it will turn out fine in the end.


Let dry and then, for me haul it outside into the snow to sand.  Hubby thought I was crazy at this point, especially because he was involved in helping me carry it outside.  Another eye roll!

Let the sander do the work, the more distressed the better.
Wipe with a microfiber cloth to remove the dust and I also chose to vacuum any remaining dust.


Apply the "Toner" with a brush or a rag.  The rag method worked best for me.

Let dry.

Give it a light coat of wax or your favorite poly.



My old dining table, coffee table transformed.

EAIRTH 'Manoba Twirl' in Onyx
EAIRTH 'Ibanat Flirt' in Static Twilight
*above images via FLAT20A

Something about EAIRTH's collections always makes me soar sky high while also providing a grounding sensation. Their Spring 2011 collection will be available at BARNEYS New York and Kaight Shop, but I could not resist a peak at these AW 2011 textures and prints. Kaight has some amazing pieces by EAIRTH currently on sale, including the rather unique 'Tiboli Cape' that I tried on and adored l when I visited last fall.

 

"Extremely heavy-duty and totally appropriate even on the coldest days. It has a large zip down hoodie, concealed zipper and button closures. Two front, breast pockets and two front arm openings. Quilted lining for extra warmth. This piece is made from organic cotton and is 100% chemical-free. Pigments used to achieve the coal color are derived from natural ingredients including ginger, mahogany, and Indian almond. This means that each piece is unique and has an artisanal touch."

Let's just say that it is so much more than a Barbour, and in sync with the current cape trend.

Trend Elegant Black Sapphire

Natural stone is not only a part of creation, but they became the main feature in which the jewelry is designed and built. We can find a natural jewel in all kinds of colors, quality and price. What's so special about vibration precious stones, the color, which sparkle and energy that comes from them. While the diamond is still the most popular and sought after, other gems are also their value in jewelry, we can think of sapphire, emerald, ruby ...

We can easily think of white sapphire or zircon. They are only worth a fraction of the price of diamonds because of market conditions, which means they do not look like a diamond by the customers all over the world. But more and more we can see a new trend that started in the jewelry industry. The artistic designers and creators have been using white diamonds and other white gems. They have been used so much in the market. Something new must be made and we now see high-end jewelry using different colors. They even use the natural and the artificial white diamonds make them colorful, they then can be called the Blue Diamonds, although the color is not natural. their customers still appreciate them because they wear name.

Safir is always in the imagination and minds of people since a very long time. The blue color and light of this precious stone can not be compared with another gem. You may also hear about what we call fancy sapphire. This is all the sapphires that come under a different color then blue. They can be pink, purple, green, orange yellow, and black. Yes, black sapphire, probably the least known of all of them. But it has all the characteristics of a natural sapphire when they came under a black color, they become the most interesting part of each precious stone black. They are hard and resistant as corundum all. They shine and sparkle because of the physical properties of natural sapphire make it attractive sheen.

Elegance Black Diamond Necklace

Rare stones are mainly found in Brazil, as a result, black diamond necklace also cut and is widely produced in Brazil. Scientists and gemologists say the history behind the beauty of this started about 3.5 billion years ago in the center of the earth. Like most of the diamonds, they are brought closer to the earth's surface due to catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions and formed because of the intense pressure and heat at the center of the earth.

black diamond necklaces are generally made of titanium because it compliments a particular metal is the most captivating gemstones. Before actually cutting the stone, a jewelry designer must use the experience and the latest design jewelry software to determine how to display the best way possible. One combination that received rave reviews is to surround a black diamond with a compilation of traditional white diamonds. This layout works beautifully with the ring, bracelet and necklace pendant. The contrast between the two gem show, an elegant, high society and royalty.

Of course, it goes without saying that the opaque gemstone will not be shiny or as brilliant as the traditional Brilliant Cut Diamonds, but then again, they are not born for! Their beauty is woven into the complex, the scarcity of uniqueness and effervescent charm captivate them. That is that the scarcity and quality of teasing that forced, inspire and lead individuals to choose a black diamond necklace and other jewelry cut of why almost elusive gem.

New And Trendy Black Rings

This line of designer black ring may be accented with diamonds, eighteen carat yellow gold, fourteen karat white gold or platinum. You can even find classic simple black titanium ring should you wish. Whatever the Edward Mirell line can cost as little as $ 150 to close to $ 1000. You can look into 14K white gold DHarmony's branch round black diamond rings stackable. This eternity ring style is a slim band is covered all over with black diamonds. This option is amazing cost slightly more than $ 100.

Men also may appreciate a little unique with black tungsten ring. Many of the ring have been appropriate comfort and well suitable for marriage. However, one does not need to be a groom to enjoy the view of tungsten black ring, many carved with Celtic designs or other laser. They are also relatively cheap usually costs less than $ 100. black zirconium ring also has a lot of the same benefits.

However, women may find a silver or gold ring boasts a black diamond or cubic zirconium. For example, enamel jet black eternity ring is white gold rhodium creation with shiny silver tone that set the branches of ornamental mini-CZ created a style of immortality. Jet black eye ring features princess cut CZ covered with silver prongs tone also contains inlaid CZ. Black ring like this is good for the budget cost of about $ 20.
